Trick or Treat! It’s hard to believe, but in two short weeks Halloween will be here. As I get older, I feel that every year it creeps up on me without warning. I always find myself struggling to find a costume last minute. Halloween serves many purposes; free candy, partying it up with all your friends, and most importantly the freedom to be anything you want! The possible costume choices are endless and the one’s that are the most memorable are the creative ones that make a statement. Here are some creative costume ideas you and a partner can be for Halloween!
The “Rival” Couple Costumes
This includes costumes like “Salt and Pepper,” “Siracha and Tobassco,” and “Burger King and Wendy.” My personal favorite is the costume “Geico the Gecko and Flo from Progressive Insurance.”
I thought this was really clever because obviously this isn’t a typical costume as well as they are rival insurance companies. Double points because the actress that plays Flo went to Binghamton!
The “Typical” Couple Costumes
These are the default couple costumes. Examples of these are “Barbie and Ken,” “High School Cheerleader and Football Player,” and “Sandy and Danny from Grease.” These tend to be a little less DIY, however very easy to pull off.
The “Play-On-Words” Couple Costumes
These types of costumes are definitely the punniest costumes. Some of my personal favorites are “Lightening Strike,” and “Pumpkin Pi.” If you choose to do a costume like this, you need to go all out and put in lots of preparation to do it justice.
