Can anyone suggest any easy fancy dress ideas for two adults plus 8 week old baby?

We've been invited to a fancy dress party, but don't know the other party-goers very well, so don't want to go too OTT, but would like to look like we've made some kind of effort. There is no theme - we can go as anything we like. It would be nice to go as a related group (e.g. characters from the same TV show or similar).

All ideas welcome, especially easy and cheap ones!

Could you go as star wars characters and dress baby as Yoda or an Ewok? grin

Love the Star Wars idea!!!

I can only think of the Simpsons! Homer and Marge, and maggie (blue hair spray for you and baby and a bald wig for DH!! Maybe a bit of yellow face paint but not sure if that will upset baby skin!! Very cheap though x x

Get some primark onesies and all go as babies.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

After some trawling of our wardrobe and the high street, we went as batman, catwoman and robin with home made masks and badges. Baby looked v cute as robin in a green sleepsuit with red vest over the top, plus yellow bib on backwards as a cape.

Lots of fun!
