Couples Costume Ideas

Halloween always starts out as a frustrating holiday for me. I love dressing up, but usually have such a hard time coming up with good costume ideas. Google searches rarely come up with anything fun, unique and cheap, so I thought I would share some of my favorite couples costumes that Brett & I and our friends have come up with over the years.


Halloween 2005
(L to R) The Johnsons as Gomez and Morticia from the Adams Family, Brett and I as each other and the Cookes as nerds in love.


Close-up of Brett as me. Nice hair, right?


Halloween 2006
My absolute favorite! Our group of friends dressed up as the characters from the Wizard of Oz.


Halloween 2007
The Cookes as Pam and Jim from The Office.


The Johnsons as Mario and Luigi.


Me and Brett as Little Bo Peep and a sheep.


Halloween 2008
We weren't able to go to our traditional friends Halloween party, but did get invited to another party where we dressed up like Saturday Night Live characters Mary Katherine Galligher and Matt Foley.

Hopefully this has helped get your creative costume juices flowing. I can't wait for this year's party to see what everyone came up with. (You are going to LOVE ours...but I'm not going to give it away, so stay tuned!)

This year I'm going to be a flower, baby boy is going to be a bumble bee and Matt is going to be a gardener. I'm def making everything myself, so hopefully it turns out ok!cul
