Is it October 31st yet? Yes indeed, this is my absolute favorite day of the entire year. No, it’s not Christmas. Everyone always picks Christmas. Halloween is a night of pure and simple fun. It’s loaded with screams, candy, and surprises. Oh, and there are all of those great costumes. This is what makes Halloween so special. It’s that one day of the year when you can actually be someone you’re not. How cool is that? Now comes the fun part; picking out a costume. What are you going to be for All Hallows Eve? Well, my wife and I have decided to try one of the Halloween couple costumes this year

About two years back, I was shopping in the local mall with my daughter. We were in dire search of a great costume for Halloween. As we entered the Disney Store, she spotted a Beauty and the Beast costume. This was it. I’m talking golden moment here. She loved the character of Belle. I can’t remember how many times she had viewed this film, but it was probably a few more than I can count. In short, she wanted that Beauty and the Beast costume so she too could be Belle for a night. I was all over the idea. What father doesn’t want to see their daughter become a princess? Once we arrived home with the sparkly attire, my little girl couldn’t wait to put it on.

Some don’t like the common couples Halloween costumes though, and that is when it is time to use the imagination. You don’t have to go as people if you don’t like, though going as another couple you know can be a lot of fun, and will definitely be original. Think of things that go together, and come up with something fun. You can be peas and carrots, an outlet and plug, pen and notebook, ball and chain (funny for married couples Halloween costumes), or even something like dollars and coins. Almost anything is possible, though some are obviously going to be easier to find or make than others.

You can give the trick-or-treaters a double scare when they show up at your front door, or possibly be the best dressed at the local Halloween bash. The days of wrapping up in toilet paper to become a mummy are over. With the deluge of Halloween couple costumes and more at you very fingertips, you simply can’t go wrong.
