If you are planning on going to a Halloween get-together as a couple, or even choose to match up with somebody at the office for costume day this year, a couples Halloween costume could very well be a great deal of entertainment. You can find a large amount of creative choices that you could make use of the life of the party. Let's look at two or three tips for a couple's costume.

The easiest way to come up with an idea would be to consider dressing yourselves up based on one or other infamous couple such as Bonnie and Clyde, or even King Kong and Fay Wray. The main aim is for you to use couples Halloween outfits which make it obvious who you are dressed up to be. I'm sure you'll agree that it can become quite annoying if you have to keep explaining to others when they ask what your costumes actually mean.

Many people are nowadays choosing couples Halloween outfits which have a funnier side to them. The "socket and plug" outfit is a perfect example. The costume worn by the woman looks like a power socket, while the man's outfit has a plug sticking out of it. Of course I could go on to explain this in more detail, but I'm sure you can work things out for yourself if you have a little bit of an imagination. Obviously if you'll be attending a mixed crowd party with several of your work colleagues, then you may want to think twice before choosing such an outfit.

You might also select something a little more humorous, such as perhaps Mr. Mrs. Potato Head. This will even be a pretty good costume for kids, who may know them from the Toy Story films. A further entertaining pair's Halloween outfit is the Broken Heart. Both people wear half a heart, and when they stand side by side, it will become complete once again.

You can still take advantage of couples Halloween outfits even if you don't want to style yourselves as being someone else. For example, one could dress up like a lion tamer, while the other one dresses up like a lion. Alternatively, the male could dress up as a pirate, while the female dresses up to be the pirate's wench. At the end of the day, you're only limited by your own imagination.

You have a couple of possibilities for where to acquire your outfits. You could rent them or purchase them. Lots of people think renting a costume will probably be cheaper than buying one, but it isn't always the situation. The fact is, a costume rental will be more pricey than buying in some situations.

Costume rental shops frequently furnish costumes for plays, commercials and other productions, hence they often times have superior quality and more lifelike costumes. Also they may not stock both costumes for the couple you choose to turn into, thus you may have to shop around a lttle bit.

If you're purchasing your costumes, it's more often than not best to find them on the internet, at sites like CostumeCity.com or TotallyCostumes.com. They generally have a larger selection, particularly if you have particular costumes in mind and would like them to match up, and their prices are often better than local stores might be. Just make certain they have a good return policy, in case you require a new size or might not pleased with the costume once you get a hold of it. - 39969
