There's no better feeling than walking into a Halloween party with your significant other or best friend to find that you totally nailed your couples' costume. You can usually gauge your success by the applause and, if you're the funny type, the laughs. There are always some funny Halloween costumes for couples at these kinds of parties, but you want yours to be hilarious and original.
Over the years, my husband and I have had our share of great couples' costumes. We were Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, a cop and a robber, and even a nun and a priest – I'm still debating whether I should go to confession for that one. But, like a lot of parents, since having kids we've slacked on our own Halloween looks. We spend so much time walking up and down the aisles of the craft and party stores for our kids, that we end up handing out candy in T-shirts with a pumpkin drawn on them and call it a day.
This year, the goal is to pass up the orange "This is my Halloween costume" T-shirts in exchange for looks that will show our neighbors that we are the costumed king and queen of the cul-de-sac. Here are some laugh out loud looks to wear with your partner this October 31.
