Complete Brit+Co Guide: DIY Couples Costumes
Brit + Co
1. Rory And Dean From Gilmore Girls
Dressing as Rory Gilmore and Dean may be the DIY Halloween costume that takes home 1st prize this year. Besides our obvious bias, this cute DIY costume won't break the bank because you likely have something similar in your closet.
Julie Ann Art
2. Struck by Lightning
We love this combo of seeing someone struck by lightening in love. You can dress up as the person who didn't know when cupid when strike until it was too late while the thunderbolt has all the fun!
Shrimp Salad Circus
3. Silent Film Stars
Make your debut as a silent film star in 100 percent black and white. Unlike A Quiet Place, there won't be any scary alien creatures chasing you all over town.

4. Popeye and Olive
This modern take on Popeye and Olive is pretty darn adorable! It'll be even more fun if your partner is in the marines and is home visiting for a little while.

5. Where's Waldo And Wenda
We've spent so much time searching for Waldo, but now it's time to to set your sights on his better half.

6. AcroBATS
Get it? Acro… BATS! They’re acrobatic bats, and they will most likely make it in into every photo booth picture at whatever Halloween party they attend.
7. Pacman and Ms. Pacman
With your partner dressed as Mr. Pacman, you'll always be drawn to them while wearing this cute Ms. Pacman getup
9. John Lennon and Yoko Ono
imagine… yourself as Yoko and your husband as John. I can tell you from firsthand experience (I’m the Yoko!) that these two iconic crooners are easy to recreate with a few trips to the thrift shop.

10. Adamn And Barbara Maitland from Beetlejuice Couple
Now that’s a Beetlejuice costume we haven’t seen before! Dress as the monster versions of the parents stuck in the attic in one of our favorite spooky flicks.
Brit + Co
11. Dumb and Dumber
Yes, we did feature this couple in the best ’90s costumes roundup, but it’s just that good!
Studio DIY
12. French Baker and French Wedding Cake
Consider yourself a bit of a Francophile? Then dress yourself up as a croquemboche and get your beau to dress as a baker!
Smile Booth
13. Johnny Cash and June Carter
Dress as star-crossed lovebirds from the beginning of country music’s heyday. Just be prepared to sing “Walk the Line” over and over again.
Brit + Co
14. Jack Skellington And Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas
Besides half of the couple we saw in The Corpse Bride, this is one of the best undead lovers we've ever seen. We just can't decide if we love them better than Adam and Barbara from Beetlejuice.

15. Piñata and Birthday Girl
Just make sure the birthday girl doesn’t have any pent-up stress when you guys “hit” the party circuit.
Mental Floss
16. Soap and Loofah
Get to scrubbing with this soap and loofah costume! If you want, you can even even swap costumes when you get home!
Brit + Co
17. Moonrise Kingdom
Both of these were honorable mentions in last year’s costume contest, and would still work well this year!
Brit + Co
18. Camp Counselors
Rise and shine campers! You can probably create this costume out of items you already have, save for a whistle and a sweatband. This could also be a great base for being two counselors from Wet Hot American Summer.
Brit + Co
19. Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano
Oh, these two. The teenage angst, the dyed air, the flannel. Can we please bring back My So-Called Life? And guess what? The Angela in this costume is our very own editor, Kate Puhala. Woot woot!

20. 3D Viewmaster and Slide Reel
How awesome is this?! Such a fun pair, though not the easiest costumes to bust a move in.
Brit + Co
22. Spy vs. Spy
Remember Spy versus Spy? From Mad Magazine? Such a great ’80s throwback costume we used to love watching!
College Humor
23. Squints and Wendy Peffercorn
It took us a minute to figure out who these two were – turns out they are two of the kids from The Sandlot! Awesome, though on the slightly obscure side.
24 .Willy Wonka and Golden Ticket
Now we just need someone to dress up as a golden goose and we’ll be all set.
Brit + Co
25. Black Swan
This costume is EPIC, and the dude looks totally terrifying but also kind of beautiful?
