We are 6 people who will dress up and we like doing a theme that ties everyone together. I am having a hard time thinking of a theme from 6 things. We don't want characters and the like, rather more Jewish related. So no Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, goofy, Pluto, for example. But yes to 7 days of the week (problem is it's 7 not 6), characters from the megillah (did already). I don't have a problem getting creative with the costumes.

Anyone have any ideas for us?

Seder plate? Or you can do six days of creation and everyone can have a reference to shabbos in addition to their day

Leah's 6 children? Sextuplets from Egypt (shisha b'keres echad)?

my neighbor did yosef mokir shabbas, the big girl was shabbas, the big boy was yosef, one kid was the fish, another kid was the diamond, another kid was shabbas candles, another one was challa...

the next year when she had seven kids k"ah, she did three pesach matzos and four kosos wine

A calendar (Shabbos, sukkos, pesach, shavous, chanuka, purim)or tishrei (RH, shabbos shuva, YK, Sukkos, chol hamoed, SA)
you could also do a calendar where each of you is 2 months (front & back)
6 days of creation (your shalach manos could be Shabbos)

Thanks for all the ideas. I will discuss with my kids and see what they vote for

Have you seen those decals on the backs of cars with white stick figure families?

I saw a family last year who dressed up as that and it was really cute. They wore all black and used white painters tape to make the stick figures on their clothing.

How about dressing as yidden from a time in our history or tanach? Like Chanukah, pesach etc.
Or 6 nevios and have people guess who is missing? (Will be a problem for men in your family... But you didn't say genders...)
What about mitzvos of Purim- split 2 into the different minim for MM (gets you to 5) and 2 people can do the Matanos Le'evyonim since it goes to 2 people?

One of my sisters is super creative....her family dressed up as different characters from the Purim story (Queen Esther, Vashti, Mordechai, etc...) and she did a Purim For Dummies Shalach Manos - she made the box look like the for Dummies series, with pictures of her kids and anecdotes about the role "get the real story behind Vashti...." etc....
