Creative Couple Costume - Why Didn't I Think Of That?

Are you and your sweetie heading out for Halloween together? Then you're probably looking for a creative couple costume that you can both wear. Dressing up together is a lot of fun... but it can be a challenge to come up with something that works and that you'll both agree on.

The best way to figure out ideas for a creative couple costume is to start with your shared interests. What do you both like? For example, are you both war buffs? You could both go as people from the era you're interested in, such as the civil war or World War 2. A battlefield soldier and a war time nurse make great couple costumes.

Picking an era from history gives you plenty of couple costumes to choose from. Start with a time period that you are both drawn to, and work from there. If you both like jazz, for instance, maybe you want to create a jazz age costume. A flapper and her gun-toting gangster fella work great. Or go further back in time. Maybe you both like the medieval era? Be a couple of serfs, or a wench and peasant, or a king and queen. Other ideas could be Cleopatra and Anthony (or an Egyptian king like King Tut), Bonnie and Clyde, and King Arthur and Guinevere.

Pop culture is a great way to come upon a creative couple costume, so think about what shows, movies or music you both like. Then, think about what male and female characters stand out to you. Disney movies are easy, with famous pairs such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Jasmine and Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast. Other fun ones are Shrek and Princess Fiona, Harry Potter and Hermione, and Marge and Homer Simpson.

You can go classic TV, and dress up as Lucy and Ricky from I Love Lucy or Fred and Wilma from The Flintstones. Or how about Sandy and Danny, from Grease? If you're action movie fans, think outside the box... you could go as Murtaugh and Riggs from Lethal Weapon!

Of course, you don't have to pick famous movie or pop culture couples. You can make great couple costumes using a movie as a theme. Dress up as two zombies, vampires, werewolves or even Klingons.

Finally, there are some classic themed pairings that make great couples Halloween costumes. A Navy brat and her Navy sailor, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and Tarzan and Jane all work great. Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf, a pirate and a wench, or a prom king and queen are fun costume ideas.

Basically, for a creative couple costume all you need to do is figure out what it is that you both like (and helpfully, what makes you both laugh) and then let your imaginations do the rest!
