There are all sorts of things you can do with friends and family besides having a party or trick-or-treating on Halloween.

It may seem hard to believe, but Halloween is right around the corner… time to get your costumes in order! But with busy schedules and a tight timeline, the last thing you probably have time for is putting together an extensive Halloween costume.

Plus, if anyone questions your last-minute preparation, you can reply, “I was too busy being brilliant.” If you love a good pun, this costume will make you the toast of the party. All you need is a green shirt and some cut-out avocado shapes.

Dress up on Halloween as a deer with a simple costume made from things you mostly already have on hand. Wear a brown or gold dress and pin a piece of white felt or fur to the front. Add an ear headband and glue on some sticks for antlers.

Last-minute Halloween party invites are no match for these creative costumes.

If you're a little busy this Halloween or don't want to go super nuts with a costume this year, you're definitely not alone. And you've also got plenty of great options for Halloween costumes with normal clothes that you can actually throw together in a matter of minutes.
