funny couple costumes

funny couple costumes
Some couples are the romantic type: they kiss and snuggle with one another, no matter where they are. He calls her snookie pie and she calls him lovey bear. They make most of us physically ill. Some couples are more dramatic: they tend to spit and spat all year 'round and show up in amazing couple's costumes for every dress up event. One year they were Titania and Oberon. One year they were Hamlet and Ophelia. They have even been Rhett and Scarlett. And then there are the favorites: the ones who show up in the funny couple costumes, get the laughs and keep the party from turning ugly. For them, we take off our propeller beanie and offer a heartfelt, drawn out, whoopee cushion salute.

Funny couple costumes can be anything from the classic horse costume, where the lady dons the front half of the horse and the man, well; he gets to bring up the rear. But there are other choices as well. She can dress as a chicken and be chased all night by a slightly demented weasel, or even better, the egg headed, but inept chicken hawk that keeps trying to catch chickens far too large for him. This funny couple costume idea would be even funnier if you flip the genders.

Ah, that brings us to another choice: role reversal. He could throw on a large ratty robe and overdo the stereotypical housewife, while she could go as an obnoxious, loud mouthed; beer bellied man of the house. Or he could dress as a perky cheerleader and she could be a burly football player. There are a million suggestions with gender bending, role reversal ideas, so whatever pops into your head, go for it.

Food, one of the Queen of Halloween's favorite topics ever, is also a great place to look for funny couple costume ideas. One Halloween a few years ago, the couple down the block showed up as bacon and eggs, perfect for them because he is so tall and thin and she is so short and curvy. They looked delicious. Great ideas in the world of food include anything naturally joined by the word "and". If you can't think of one without the other, then you might have a perfect costume choice. Ketchup and mustard, milk and cookies and other ideas like this, are tasty ways to dress up for your party or trick or treating fun.

Finally, a warning about funny couple costumes: never come dressed in bondage if your mother, children or other people will be showing up. Never dress up as meat products for a vegan soiree. And never, ever dress as clowns. One clown is bad enough; a pair of them is just evil begging to be beaten with a wooden spoon. Back off Jingles, you were warned!
