Couples Costumes for Halloween
Classic Couple Costumes (Because They Never Get Old)
Sometimes you just can’t beat the originals. These iconic costumes have stood the test of time because they’re simple, recognizable, and still totally fun:
1. Peanut Butter and Jelly You can’t go wrong with this lunchbox classic. Comfy, cozy, and super easy to DIY.
2. Bonnie and Clyde A little glam, a little gangster. Bonus points if you go for the 1930s vibe with vintage accessories.
3. Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein Spooky, romantic, and perfect if you love a little drama.
4. Witch and Her Black Cat Or flip it, he can be the wizard! All you need is a hat and some whiskers.
5. Vampire Couple Elegant and a little dark. Great for when you want to look sharp (fangs and all).
Pop Culture Pairings (Straight from the Screen)
These ideas are for the couples who binge-watch shows together or still quote movies from the early 2000s:
6. Barbie and Ken The possibilities are endless, go classic, beach, cowboy and cowgirl, or even rollerblade Barbie from the 2023 movie.
7. Gomez and Morticia Addams Gothic love at its finest. This one’s romantic and a little creepy, in the best way.
8. Harry Potter and Hermione (or any Hogwarts duo) Scarves, robes, wands, done! You can go as any magical pairing you like.
9. Eleven and Mike (Stranger Things) Perfect for 80s lovers and sci-fi fans. Bonus if you carry around an Eggo waffle.
10. Ted Lasso and Coach Beard Wholesome and hilarious. Mustaches required.
Funny and Punny Costumes (Because Laughing Together Is the Best)
If you and your partner love silly jokes and dad humor, these pun-inspired costumes are for you:
11. Deviled Egg One wears a white shirt with a yellow circle (the egg), the other adds devil horns and a tail.
12. Cereal Killer Carry cereal boxes with fake knives or red paint, equal parts funny and spooky.
13. Holy Guacamole One dresses as an avocado with angel wings and a halo, so cute and punny.
14. French Kiss Berets + striped shirts + face paint kisses = Oui, oui!
15. Spice Girls (just the two of you) Pick two spice jars to be: maybe Cinnamon and Nutmeg? Tape on the labels and dance it out.

Not every costume has to take hours of crafting. These are cute and simple with stuff you might already have at home:
16. Tourists Think sun hats, fanny packs, socks with sandals, and big cameras.
17. Biker Couple Leather jackets, jeans, sunglasses. Done and done.
18. Ghosts with a Twist Use old sheets but add sunglasses, flower crowns, or even dress it up in fancy clothes.
19. Social Media Icons One can be Instagram, one TikTok, use cardboard to cut out the logos.
20. Netflix and Chill One wears a Netflix logo, the other shows up with an ice pack or blue face paint. Silly but cute.

Quick Tips for Pulling Off a Great Couple Costume
- Comfort is key: If it’s itchy or hot, you’re not going to enjoy wearing it.
- Think about the weather: October can be cold! Layer or have a warm version ready.
- Plan ahead: The best ideas sometimes need a little prep. Don’t wait until October 30th (been there, panicked at Walmart).
- Get the kids involved: Ask their opinion. Mine always have ideas I would’ve never thought of.
- Take all the pictures: Even if you feel a little silly. You’ll love looking back at them.
Halloween is such a fun excuse to be goofy, creative, or just plain adorable with your partner. Whether you go full glam or keep it simple with a pun and a t-shirt, the most important part is doing it together.
So grab your favorite person, pick a costume, and go make some spooky, sweet, and hilarious memories. And hey, don’t forget to save the good candy for yourselves. It’s only fair.
Happy Halloween!
