The Halloween Fortune Teller is beloved for a few reasons. For one, it's a relatively warm costume that's an immediate conversation starter. All you have to do is reach for someone's palm and you're on your way! Secondly, it's dance floor friendly, just add a tambourine! Thirdly, it won't be ruined if you have to layer it in a shawl on a cold, Halloween night. That's a lot of wins. It makes sense that the fortune teller Halloween costume has been a crowd favorite for generations now!

Since it's such a classic, you have a lot of choices when it comes to choosing from our Fortune Teller costumes. Pick out the officially licensed Esmeralda Costume from the hunchback of Notre Dame or choose one of our Made by Us costumes with lush patterns referencing the stars which you turn to for guidance!

Our Girl's Teller of Fortunes costume even comes with a few Tarot card props, perfect for quick readings as she's picking up candy. Feeling generous?

As fortune-telling is a profession, it's time we talk about the tools of the trade. A good Halloween Fortune teller prop is a must-have. Tarot cards require a little background info as does palm reading. The classic crystal ball is the best fortune telling prop for many prospective fortune tellers because you can make stuff up on the spot, all while showing off your fortune teller accessories such as your bangles and rings. Add some great lighting and create a spot for yourself and you won't have to go out of your way on Halloween night, all the party guests will come to you!

Are you excited for some of these fortune teller costumes ideas? Is your costume beginning to take shape in your mind? Great! A fortune teller Halloween is always a fun one. You really get to shape your persona so go ahead and let loose. Create a fortune teller name. It's not hard. Just combine buzzwords like "Madame" and "The Great" alluding to flowers like "Jasmine" and "Rose" with a couple describing "Wild", "Wandering", or "Mysterious" won't hurt either. For instance, if you're having people over to your house, create a fortune teller Halloween decoration by painting a sign that says, "The Mysterious Madame Jasmine: for one night only" and sit under it with your crystal ball. We promise that this version will beat serving cocktails any day! You may even learn a thing or two about your guests!
