Attending a Halloween party with your significant other can be even more fun if the two of you wear couples Halloween costumes. You can choose to dress as famous couples throughout history, whether you portray star-crossed lovers, cartoon characters or another popular duo.

Ideas for Couples Halloween Costumes

Once you decide you want to go trick-or-treating or partying as a couple, who should the two of you be?

Romeo and Juliet: Probably the most fated couple in literary history, get ready to practice Shakespearean English and classic lines such as "Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
Antony and Cleopatra: She can be the Queen of the Nile while he can dress as her lover.
Barbie and Ken: A blonde wig and any fashionable outfit for her, along with chic duds for him, will make great costumes for you.
Ike and Tina Turner: Any woman portraying Tina Turner needs a ton of energy to perform all those dance moves in a mini-skirt. The guy playing Ike may want to practice his guitar strumming and crooning.
Sonny and Cher: Another rock-and-roll couple, invest in a long black wig for Cher and a mop top wig for Sonny.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse: You'll smile all night dressed as this friendly couple. Don't forget a big polka-dotted hair bow for Minnie and white gloves for Mickey.
Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler: If you speak with a Southern accent, you're halfway there dressed as these Civil War-era characters. Maybe your Rhett and Scarlett will live happily ever after.
Adam and Eve: Be careful when designing these couples Halloween costumes. Nylon body stockings can be decorated with fake leaves covering essential parts to keep these costumes rated PG.

Use your creativity when choosing couples Halloween costumes. While men-women pairings are popular, you can also go with a friend or significant other of the same sex by portraying these couples:

Abbott and Costello: Practice your jokes and slapstick to dress as these funny guys.
Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star: This cartoon duo isn't just for kids; grown-ups can have a great time dressing as these under-the-sea creatures.
Thelma and Louise: You and your best gal pal can pretend to be these femme fatales before they ride off that cliff.
Lone Ranger and Tonto: One of you will need a black mask, a white hat and a gun, while the other will be convincing in a fringed suede set.
Batman and Robin: Two more masked men make good costumes for two guys. Tights are essential to making the look believable.
Laverne and Shirley: A cute dark wig for Shirley and a monogrammed "L" on Laverne's shirt are good starts to dressing as this 1970s TV duo.
