Dressing up for Halloween is just plain fun no matter how old you get. It's a holiday that gives you the chance to get into character and try on all the clothes you never get to wear—but why have all the fun alone? These cute and easy Halloween costumes for couples will let you and are partner transform into some of the most iconic duos of all time.
Just like Ree Drummond has her Marlboro Man, maybe you'll have a new nickname for your other half after trying out some fun personas this Halloween. You may want to dress up as your favorite movie characters (there are lots of '80s costumes to look at for inspiration!). Or show off some perfect pair costumes, like milk and cookies and ketchup and mustard. Perhaps you two want to go all-out glam for Halloween in fancy clothes you rarely wear in your daily life, like the masquerade ball costume idea. You can also use these ideas to create fun best friend costumes to show off your top-notch compatibility as BFFs. These ensembles are incredibly easy to make, which is ideal if you're crunched for time and looking for any last-minute costume ideas. You and your "boo" are sure to look amazing!
