Some couples think they are cute, some believe they are radical, but you'll find many young people wearing couple costumes this Halloween. Or, maybe you will run into them at the next masquerade ball.
Different Ways to Dress Up in Couple Costumes
Love Your Soul Mate and Dress in Couples Costumes
My parents were never very big Halloween people, nor were their friends. Although they would take us trick-or-treating, they would never dress up for the occasion. I didn't really understand that adults did such a thing until I was a teenager.
Boys Like Spooky Halloween Costumes
When I was that age, I loved to dress up in spooky costumes. I would dress up as villains from slasher film's, such as Jason, Freddy Krueger, or Leatherface from the Texas chainsaw massacre. I'm sure I terrorize more than my share of little kids but it wasn't too long until I realized that those scary costumes weren't that original.
Getting Into Couple Costumes
The first time I got into couple costumes was when I was about 17. I was in my first relationship back then, and was hopelessly in love.
I guess all kids are in love when they have the first relationship. |
Anyway, my girlfriend was kind of a cheese ball. She loved anything cutesy and romantic. At Halloween, of course, she insisted on us getting couples costumes. My friends made fun of me, but I persevered anyway. I knew that couple costumes were important to her, and I didn't want her to be disappointed.
So, we dressed up as Cinderella and Prince Charming that year. Although a few of my friends had to make fun of us, it was clear that they thought the idea was pretty funny.
Costumes for Couples were a Big Hit!
After that, couple costumes were a hit among my friends. Every year, we would go in costumes that complemented each other. Sometimes, we would be in pairs, but more often we would go as whole groups.
One of the best couple costume events was when everyone dressed up as their favorite hero or villain duo. We had Batman and Robin, Superman and Wonder Woman, and a foursome dressed as the Fantastic Four. We also had a special appearance by Baron Greenback from Danger Mouse, surrounded by several of his most villainous henchman. All in all, the Party was quite a time, and we all had a lot of fun.
Where to Get Halloween Costumes
Sometimes, we would make our own couple costumes. It was a lot of fun to get involved in the craft aspect of it, even if it was quite a bit of work as well. Other times, the outfits would simply be too complicated for our talents. We would buy them or rent them from Halloween stores.
Sometimes, the best approach was to combine both. With all of the previous costumes I had worn, I had more than enough supplies to make a new, seemingly fresh costume from spare parts of previous ones.
So, this year for Halloween, let your imagination run wild, get with your husband or wife, girlfriend or boyfriend and have a fantasy ball with your new and different costumes for couples.
