Couple Halloween Costume Ideas

I'm with ya! I'm big on recycling costumes especially when it's a group of people who didn't see last year's if it's a repeat or it's two different parties wearing the same one in the same year! Anyway-last year my hubs and I were Dr. Freud and a was his 'freudian slip.' Literally I wore a slip with a sign that said 'super ego' and everyone (who got it) loved it and it was sooooooo easy! Justin wore a grey suit jacket and he borrowed the grey bowler hat and a bought the white wig and beard.

happy hunting and halloween! :)

How fun! My DH and I went to a great couples' Halloween party last year and here are some of my favorites:

*Dr/ patient
*cheerleader/ football player
*hippies
*Fanny Mae/ Freddy Mac (both dressed all in black with funny accessories: cigar, mustache, feather boa, paper money, $ necklace, etc....)
*pirates
*Peter Pan/ Tinkerbell

Have fun and good luck! With a little creativity, you probably won't need t spend too much either:-)

We are going as Army guys for opposing Army's (he soviet & me american) He is going to have a bullet wound to the head and we are using our sons toy guns as props. We got the uniforms at a local army/navy store for about $30.00 for both.

How about you dress in all white and your husband wears a trash bag with "trash" sewn/taped on it...that way when your together your "white trash".

My friend and I went to a party as salt and pepper. It can be as easy as a clear trashbag stuffed with black or white balloons with matching leggings. The silver "top" can be made of cardboard or anything you can spraypaint silver. Have fun!

One of the funniest I ever saw was Adam and Eve. They wore flesh or white colored long johns or form-fitting clothes, and pinned "fig leaves" in the appropriate places. I think to simulate Eve being naked, the cut off the ends of a bottle nipple and glued or pinned them to the woman's breasts. Your prop is an apple, maybe a big plush toy snake. You'll get a lot of laughs...!

I saw something the other day that I thought was awesome. It was a family of four but it could still work for you and your husband alone. The parents had cut out "bread" shapes from cardboard and the two kids were peanut butter and jelly. But you could cut out the bread shapes and on your half, you could glue on some fabric that looked like ham, and your husband on his half could glue on some cream-colored fabric with holes in it for "cheese". Any kind of sandwich, really, but I thought it was a cute idea. You guys could go as a sandwich. Good luck finding a costume for you both! Happy Halloween!

A plug and a socket, or a baker and an oven (perhaps baking a bun?!)

Two I heard on the radio:
1) Rat your hair up high, add some toy's like Cows, & cars and your a tornado.

2) Add a candy mint to your belly button (on top of clothes) and your the gingerbread man.

My hubby and I went to a costume party this summer and we went as the Spartan Cheerleaders from Saturday Night Live. We made our own costumes and it was pretty simple. We just got everything from Wal-Mart. We Googled Spartan Cheerleaders and went from there. I know costume shops have the costume too or you can find it online. My hubby is pretty manly and had no problem donning the sweats. We had a great time!

Here's one my grandparents did quite a while ago (probably before I was born, I just remember seeing pics). They went as a couple. Just a normal couple. With one big thing: He went as the girl, and she went as the guy.

For a cheap, quick halloween costume a couple years ago, my husband and i went as american tourists. We both wore jeans & shirts from "locations" (me-"I heart NY" & him "Duluth is a cool city"), I wore a camera, an american flag bandana and carried a map. He wore a fanny pack and baseball hat. we both wore white sneakers. We took a lot of photos and pretended to look confused initially. This works well if you have well-traveled friends. Good luck!

I saw a really neat one several years ago, but not sure how "easy" it would be. It's cheap...
It was a couple caught in the wind. She had her hair sprayed (laquered) to one side as did he. Their clothes appeared to be starched to stick out like blowing in the wind, and they were carrying an inside out umbrella. Really neat idea... if you are good with hairspray and spraystarch!!! good luck

What about The Palins? or Clintons? Nto sure what you look like, but they have been in the news lately...

Hippies are really easy. I saw a raggedy Ann and Andy that was cute. Good luck and have fun!

I've had a lot of fun matching my kids costumes the last few years. I rarely spend much on their costumes, but we've had a lot of fun. They have been the Toothfairy and a Tooth, a Frog and a Fly, the Princess and the Pea, and a Cop and a Doughnut. There are lots of fun ideas of things people think of together that no one would think of going as for Halloween. Anything unusual would be fun.

If my husband and I decide to dress up, we're going to go as a king and queen. We'll get some cardboard crowns (maybe even from Burger King) and I've got a long purple dress. This isn't a party that most adults go all-out on, so it's not going to be real involved. But our sons are going as a knight and a dragon, so they suggested we be the king and queen.

Someone suggested to me that I go as a biker chick with lots of tattoos. I saw some tattooed sleeves you can buy (I don't remember wehre, maybe Target?) or my friend suggested I buy "nude" knee highs and draw on them. That might be fun!

You could go as:
- Fred and Wilma Flinstone
-the King and Queen in a deck of cards
-The Jetsons
-Cop and a fugitive
-Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
-Frankenstien and his Bride

Hope these helped...Good luck and have fun!

Are you fans of The Office? A couple I know dressed as Dwight and Angela last year and it was really cute. I think they got most of their costume at the thrift store. Dwight has the yellow shirt and tie etc. I thought it was a really cute idea.

How self conscious is your hubby? My husband and I did roll reversal one year...he dressed as a french maid and I dressed as a butler. I had a little black dress that was somewhat stretchy, so it fit him and I made him a little apron with lace on it and a headband to match. The only thing we had to buy was a blonde wig. He carried a feather duster. I wore an old suit of his, minus the coat and I added a bowtie and put a white towel over my arm. I slicked back my hair into a bun and drew a mustache on my face.
Of course, you could do a roll reversal with any couple...you could be batman and he could be catwoman....or you could do sonny and Cher. But your husband would have to be willing to dress as a girl. Have fun planning your costumes!

B., a very simple and creative costume is to go as Black -"Eye" p's. All you need is 2 sheets of brown poster board. Pencil draw a giant letter P on each sheet. Cut them out. Paper punch a hole on the top, left and right side. Tie a piece of yarn through the holes. You can put it over your head. The next thing is to use black make-up and put it around one of your eyes. You just might win a prize! People will have trouble trying to figure your costume out. It should be a fun time. Let me know if you have any questions.
