Couples Costumes for Halloween (or anytime)
Halloween has come and gone but that doesn't mean you need to wait until next year to throw a great costume party. Couples costume partiies can be wild or tame and can be as narrow or broad as you can imagine. There are coupling costumes for just about any theme. Hositng a New Moon Party? Add a costume element. Hosting a themed dinner party? Add a costume element. Hositng a teen party? Absolutely add a costume element. I think you get the idea. Add a costume element to just about any party to let your guests explore a new or different side of themesleves. Plus, you wil get the best photos ever! Â
We have broken down this lens into the following modules: First we show you a selection of good costumes that work for most people (many come in plus size!). Click on the links or pictures for details but remember, the photos below just give you the overall look. Quite often you can choose from a variety of options ranging from almost dowdy to quite sexy, so be sure to click on the "see more" links option when you visit the costume site. Some of the couples costumes in this category range from King Kong and Anne Darrow to Adam and Eve to Sugar Daddy and his Sugar Baby (my favorite!)
Next we move on to the Superhero and Supervillain selections. We haven't paired the heroes / villains since almost any male hero can easily accompany any female hero or villain. Next we explore couples costumes especially appropriate for more formal events such as fundraisers, society balls, and even weddings. Yes, this year there seem to be quite a few of you who have opted for a festive Halloween wedding but prefer your guests maintain the formality typically associated with a wedding.
The next topic of some concern for many of you is finding an adorable costume with a complimentary outfit your other half will agree to wear.
Then we move on to couples costumes that are sexy for her and sexy for him, No further explanation needed.
We couldn't resist including a few silly costumes just for the fun of it.
And finally, we have included a module for those of you who are begrudgingly being dragged to a couples costume party but would prefer not to dress up and certainly have no desire to spend a lot of money.
We want to encourage all of you to enjoy the search. Choosing your costume and getting ready for the big night is at least half of the fun!
Have fun and party hearty!

Costumes. Cute for her. Wearable for him.

I like the butterfly catcher idea so much did a bit of research and basically found no off the rack costumes except this bushman costume in very limited sizes
So even better -- create your own butterfly catcher costume. Have your man wear a khaki shirt and/or safari vest, khaki shorts, safari or bushman hat, hiking boots, and carry a butterfly net. If you don't care for this butterfly costume, there are lots more options to choose from!

Any Disney Princess and Handsome Prince

Just a note of caution: Unless you go with a fairly sexy looking princess costume, this concept can go bad quickly. An adult in a princess costume can end up looking silly rather than stunning.
Handsome Prince
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
Cinderella
If your date prefers an even simpler look, he can wear a purple or wine colored cape over black slacks/jeans and a white or black collared shirt. Now add a crown

Mr. or Ms. Matched
Combine every pattern in your wardrobe to create one crazy and colorful costume. In addition to your mismatched shirts and pants, think old ties, socks, bandanas, hats, gloves, and scarves. Little Miss Matched has a wonderful zany mismatched collection for both children and adults in a wide range of color and patterns. So what are you -- an adorable elf?

Add a boa and lots of bling for an over the top glamorous look

If you really want to go way, way over the top consider renting real diamond jewelry. I am fascinated by this concept. Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it. How much more glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!
