Top 35 Couples Costume Ideas

Top 35 Funny Couples Costumes

By: Alison O'Neill

Couples costumes are central to Halloween partying. No matter how you define your couple: Husband & Wife, Boyfriend & Girlfriend, Best Friends or even you and your pet, you’re sure to win everyone’s hearts with these light hearted pairs. Here are my Top 35 suggestions for Funny Couples Costumes:

 

1. Adam and Eve – Play it conservative with a full body suit, or go for the shock of a more literal interpretation, you’ll have everyone wanting to join you in Eden.

 

2. Bacon and Eggs – Just like it sounds, you can dress as the perfect breakfast.

 

3. Ball and Chain – For the newly weds, or old hands at marriage – the ball and chain will bring knowing smiles and nods from everyone.

 

4. Beer Keg and Refreshment Girl – A pair that no one’s seen before, but everyone can agree to. This is a guaranteed hit at any party!

 

5. Brick Layer – He might be the best lay in town, but who shall he pair with? Maybe the brick house with her secret door for kitty? Or will he be captured by the StudFinder? Careful he doesn’t spend too much time with the HomeWrecker, or he’ll have a lot more work on his hands, than he expected!

 

6. Bull and Matador – Adorable, sweet and sexy. This one is sure to win Costume of the Year!

 

7. Bun in the Oven and Baker – Whether you’re pregnant, or just like to put people on, this one’s a guaranteed laugh.

 

8. Canadian Mountie and Horse – Who knew Canadians were so hot? Thankfully she’s found someone who’s Hung Like a Horse.

 

9. Chess King and Chess Queen – A very regal pair.

 

10. Corpse and Widow – So many options! Should your corpse be dripping in blood or should he already be in a body bag? Your Widow – did you want her still holding the weapon, or should she be more composed?

 

11. Fireman and Dalmatian – Cute and sweet any way your pair it. These two would be lost without each other.

 

12. Football Player and Trophy Wife – Just as it sounds, and twice as funny in person.

 

13. Football Playerette and Cheerleader – Why do boys always want to be the Football player? Turn everyone on their head with this inverted pair.

 

14. Fork and Spoon – Certain to get a laugh, just warn Bacon and Eggs if you’ll be attending. They might want to clear out!

 

15. Grim Reaper and Recently Deceased – Lady Death and her victim, or should you pair Death himself and a Macabre Mistress?

 

16. Hunter and Deer – Don’t shoot! To be the talk of the party, this is the pair to wear.

 

17. Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake – With her dress malfunction, and his gift to us on Saturday Night Live, this pair will guarantee laughter.

 

18. Knife Thrower and Target – As the night progresses, his aim gets worse and the laughter gets louder!

 

19. Lady Luck and High Roller – Let luck be a Lady tonight!

 

20. Lion and Safari Hunter – Beauty and the beast take a new twist with this pair!

 

21. Mail Lady and First Class Male – She couldn’t deliver a better package!

 

22. Mexican and Boarder Patrol Guard – Careful who you let slip across the boarder when you’re not looking!

 

23. Nut and Bolt – Who wouldn’t go nuts for this twosome?

 

24. Pimp and Ho – Bring your bling with this happening’ twosome! For an entertaining twist, switch rolls! A Lady of the Evening definitely needs his Pimpette to protect him!

 

25. Pirate and his Booty – What pirate wouldn’t love party once he’s captured his booty? Just make sure you dress in gold, and adorn yourself with pearls, gems and jewels so that people know exactly who you are.

 

26. Pirate and Parrot – Arrrg! Careful what your bird repeats, or you’ll both have to walk the plank!

 

27. Plug and Socket – Careful where you stick that or you’ll get a nasty shock!

 

28. Priest and Naughty Nun – Sinful and sweet, these two make a praiseworthy pair.

 

29. Queen of Hearts and King of Hearts – Love is in the cards! 30. Siamese Twins – You can’t get any closer, than sharing a liver!

 

31. Snake Charmer and Belly Dancer – The more she shakes and shimmies the wilder his snake gets!

 

32. Spartan Cheerleaders – Roll Call! Arianna and Craig may only get to cheer at the more unusual sporting events such as Chess and Synchronized Swimming – but that doesn’t prevent them from performing the Perfect Cheer!

 

33. Ventriloquist and Dummy – Always a little creepy, and more than odd – this duo is sure to draw a crowd.

 

34. Washer and Dryer – Drop off a load, and then tumble dry!

 

35. Wine Wench and Grapes – For any great wine, you’ve got to stomp on a few grapes. Or maybe she’s the type to prefer a box of wine? No doubt these ideas will get your own creative juices flowing! Be sure to put your own spin on the costume, and make it your own. Have fun, and Happy Halloweening!

I also liked the Pirate and Booty, Nice twist from the regular Pirate and Wench. I recommended it to a pair of friends and now it is war pirate couple vs ninja couple, lol.

I like the pirate and his booty too.  I saw some shiny gold pants around here somewhere that would be perfect.

I've just become a couple and couples costumes are hard to come up with. This is a great place to start! I have to admit the costumes I made last year were great and I'm sure the ones I make this year will be just as fun:) Lots of hard work but definitely worth dressing up like something you normally wouldn't once a year!!!
