by Ni'Kesia Pannell

Halloween is almost here, and I can bet most people haven't gotten their costumes together yet for the big day. Whether you're a single person or in a relationship, procrastination seems to take over everyone during this specific holiday. If you are in a relationship though, the wait has caused you a double time consequence. Being that most couples choose to wear costumes together, discovering last-minute Halloween costumes for couples may not give you as much anxiety as you think.

Though procrastinating can usually leave you without a costume during Halloween, it can also be a way to give you an idea for the most creative one yet. And, the best part about it is you probably won't run into anyone with the exact same choice as you.
