Halloween Costume Ideas For Couples

Today when it comes to Halloween costumes for couples no longer do they need to restrict themselves to the usual Dracula and his victim.  As you will soon discover there are plenty of other things that couples can choose to be when attending at party at this time of the year.  In this article we take a look at some Halloween costume ideas for couples that could prove a hit this year.

The ideas we provide below are ones that are very simple to achieve but will wow friends and family.

1.     Bride and Groom  - The twist on this is that the woman dresses as the groom wearing a suit or tuxedo, whilst the man wears a wedding dress.  There are plenty of charity shops where you should be able to pick up the outfits you need to achieve this look.  But just because the man is going to be the bride doesn't mean he has to wear white. Why not be a little more daring and go for a bright red or blue one. 

2.    A Tramp and A Lady - Again this is where role reversal comes into play.  Once more the man dresses up as the woman whilst it is the woman that takes on the part of the tramp.  The guy should make sure that he wears plenty of baubles and if he can a pair of killer heels. As for the woman get hold of some trousers several sizes too big and use string rather than a belt to hold them up.

3.    Deceased Husband and Widowed Wife - This is something that should be relatively easy to achieve. For the man he just needs to wear a good suit preferably in a dark colour such as black and then paint his face with white face paint to make him look dead.  As for the woman it is important that she wears all black again including a veil to hide her face from those around.  Plus ensures that she carries a few tissues which she can occasionally use to dab away the tears of sorrow.

4.    The Movie Star and Photographer - Again this is a very simple idea for a couple to think about using when going to a Halloween party this coming October.  Either one dresses up  as the movie star wearing something really glamorous including a pair of sunglasses.  Then on top of this they must pretend to act very important yet remain popular with those around them.

 As for the photographer all they need to wear is something regular but make sure that they have several cameras hanging around their neck or secreted into pockets. Then as they move around the party the photographer should be hiding around corners or asking the other person to provide them with "one more photo please".

Above we have offered a number of Halloween costume ideas for couples that will prove a hit this October. But as you will discover when you search online there are plenty of places that offer some other ideas for Halloween costumes for couples that could prove just as big a hit as those listed above.

80's Fancy Dress - 3 Great Ideas For 80's Halloween Costumes This Year

80's fancy dress is currently one of the most popular trends in costume parties in the UK at the moment, as a generation of adults who grew up in the eighties reminisce about their teenage years.

For the most part it was a decade of awful music and even worse fashion sense and yet the 1980's holds an appeal for those of us who came of age during that time. As October 31st approaches, we look at five great ideas for 80's Halloween costumes this year, which you can easy find on those websites online that specialise in 80's fancy dress outfits.

Idea One: Costumes inspired by 80's Music

There were some class acts in the 80's, who not only made great music but also had some outrageous costumes. The most obvious of these is of course the late great Freddie Mercury, during his moustached Wembley Stadium days, but the likes of Elton John, David Bowie and Rod Stewart are also seventies rock stars that changed their look during the eighties and who have some wonderful costumes that you can buy online. However, the three stars who's careers really took off in the 1980's and who have some great 80's fancy dress outfits available to buy are Michael Jackson, Madonna and Adam Ant.

Adam Ant's Prince Charming costume is an awesome outfit to buy and sums up perfectly the extravagance of the decade. Meanwhile, Madonna's Virgin Bride costume is a great recreation of an outfit that the pop princess famously wore during one of her most popular videos. Finally, when it comes to Michael Jackson, it really is a case of take your pick, whether you want to go for the Bad, Beat It or Billie Jean look. However, my personal favourite has to be the official Michael Jackson Thriller costume, especially if you are looking to wear traditional 80's Halloween costumes.

Idea Two: Outfits inspired by 80's Cartoons

There really were some great children's cartoons that came out of the 1980's and what better way to reminisce than to go to the Halloween party dressed as one of your childhood heroes. The Danger Mouse costume is a great example of 80's fancy dress, as is the Bananaman and He-Man costumes. However, it is Halloween so why not go as He-Man's arch-enmy, Skeletor instead.

Idea Three: Outfits inspired by 80's Horror Flicks

If there is one genre of films that they knew how to do in the eighties, it has to be the horror flick. Movies such as Nightmare of Elm Street, Hellraiser, Friday the 13th and Halloween all have some amazing 80's fancy dress costumes associated with them. However, my personal favourite of the 80's Halloween costumes inspired by the movies is actually a comedy horror called Beetlejuice, which was directed by Tim Burton in 1988 and starred the excellent Michael Keaton in the title role. The Beetlejuice fancy dress costume makes for a wonderful 80's Halloween outfit.

Where can you find an 80's fancy dress costume like these ones?
