We watched Back to the Future for some inspiration after stumbling upon a Doc Brown costume we both liked. I forgot what an amazing movie that is, even though it’s now almost 30 years old!
Marty McFly and Doc Brown seemed like the perfect duo for my shorter frame and Jacob’s tall, lean body. And I have to say, it was cheap to throw this together too! A lab coat, a $7 scientist wig on Amazon, and a red puffer vest from eBay later, plus some clothes in our closets and we were set!
We weren’t able to get everyone before they left, but here’s a good sampling of some of our very creative friends!
Notable mentions: Fruit Ninja, Running with scissors, and the milkman and housewife on his route. We loved every one’s, but serious props to those who made us laugh with their creativity!
Our friends also set up an amazing photo booth. I loved the creativity of a prison line up!
We grabbed our besties and got a few shots with them! Aren’t they hilarious? John said all night, “She’s on my route!” and laughed. Such a funny guy, I love when he cracks himself up!
And seriously, it takes some confidence to stand next to the gorgeous, glowing 5-month pregnant Marisel- particularly when dressed like a boy!
When they have mustaches for the photo booth prop pack that aren’t exactly PC, you just kind of go with it and make uncomfortable faces.
Charlie Chaplin anyone? Yeah, we’ll go with that.
We also really enjoyed the snacks! I brought my favorite clean eat fruit dip, recipe here. A few treats naturally happened too. Halloween food is just so fun, and it’s awesome to have an excuse to make it.
Thanks again to our awesome friends for such a fun group date we always look forward to!
