funny couples costume ideas?
last year DH and I had some pretty awesome costumes and want to top it this year for an annual party we attend...
Do ya'll have any awesome ideas for couples?
Re: funny couples costume ideas?
2 years ago DH & I went as a "cat" & "rooster"...some people got it right away (like my mother), some just thought we were merely a cat & a rooster.
For my cat costume I wore black and bought black faux fur to create leggings, paws, & the band to attach my tail to..of course it was topped off with cat's eyes contacts. For DH's rooster I bought a bunch of boas and attached them to a big sweatshirt with safety pins. He sure was warm! For the feet I cut rooster-shaped claws out of cardboard and glued yellow felt to them.
We were cute yet kind of naughty...
We've also been Mother Nature & Father Time. That was a good one too.

* Wedding website w/ lots of Negril info*
*~FOR SALE~*
Ok that took me a minute hahahahha great idea...so funny!
I thought of a cute one the other day watching VH1. If the girl is a brunette, she can dress in a white button down, black shorts, and black suspenders and black tie. The guy can wear a crown and have a shirt that says "King of Anything". I thought it was a humorous play on Sarah Bareilles's new song
Friends of ours went as "super heroes" one year: He was Captain Long Schlong and she was The Domestic Diva (complete with yellow gloves, a cape, and cleaning tools).
My DH and I are going as Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift this year. We're making shirts with arrows that say "I'm with Taylor" plus a few other accessories.
Last year we went as the "all american couple". DH wore blue mechanics overalls with a wrench and towel in the back pocket. I went as Betty Crocker in a red and white polka dot dress, an apron I made with a cupcake applique, and carried a wooden spoon embelished with a red bow.
This year I think we are going to go as David Coverdale (from Whitesnake) and Tawny Kitaen (his gf/the girl dancing on the jaguars in the whitesnake video). DH and I both love 80s rock and think it is a fun couples costume idea.
One year I wore a nightgown, bathrobe, curlers, slippers, etc and dh wore a suit, had a Prize Patrol pin, carried balloons and flowers and a big check from Publishers Clearinghouse because I was the Grand Prize Winner.
We won for most original costume and it was super easy to put together.
Last year we went to a costume party and there was a couple there dressed as "Jon & Kate" and they had little baby dolls pinned all over their clothes. DH and I went as Pinky and the Brain.
Other costumes DH and I have done:
Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf
Cesar and Cleopatra
Oedipus and Jocasta (This was DH's favorite because it was so goulish)
Buffy and Spike
Fred and Daphne
I wouldn't call our costumes funny, but DH and I have gone as
Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter
Sherlock Holmes and Watson
Airship Pilot and Southern Gentleman (We were going for Victorian/Steampunk)
One year we dressed separately and Dh went as Lil Mac (from Mike Tyson's Punch Out - Nintendo Game). But he wore the pink jumpsuit that Mac wears while chasing the trainer on his bike. It was awesome.
Here are some of our past costumes:
Lois & Quagmyer from Family Guy
The red team from Double Dare (perhaps my favorite)
Amy Winehouse & Joe Dirt
She-Ra and He-Man
April O'Neal and Splinter
Male & Female Where's Waldo
Team from Supermarket sweep
I'm still trying to brainstorm for this year.
A couple years ago we went as Homer & Marge Simpson. It was easy (and inexpensive) to put together, and everyone loved it.
Tea Time for Lulu
My sister and her boyfriend are doing Peg and Al Bundy--- biggest problem is finding a red wig which wasn't that hard.... fairly easy costume otherwise. Have fun!
Last year DH & I were Jon & Kate Gosselin.
The year before we were Mr. & Mrs. Potato head...really easy to put together. We took tan twin sheets, folded them in half & cut a hole in the crease for our heads. We sewed the sides together & stuffed with a pillow. We cut out different face shapes out of felt & stuck them on the body. We also took a fishermans hat & cut it down the back & I wore it around my neck, so it looked like the head. If I were going to do it again, I would make more face shapes & velcro them on so that people could change the eyes/nose, etc. We both wore white long sleeved shirts & I wore white leggings.
Last year was fun for us. He was punk legend Sid Vicious and I was the girlfried Nancy Spungen (who he allegedly killed).
This year....Kermit and Ms. Piggy.
Four years ago my husband and I went as Peg & Al Bundy, 3 years ago we were Joe Dirt & Brandy, 2 years ago we were Bill Clinton & Monica (complete with a stain on the blue dress :P - it was a big hit!) and last year we were a shotgun wedding - which was kind of funny b/c it was just a few months before we actually got married.
We haven't decided what we're going to be this year yet!
Got the Mask

and the Dorthy Costume at Party City
http://www.partycity.com/product/adult+miss+dorothy+costume.do?sortby=ourPicks&size=all&from=Searn
In all I think that we spent $55
LOVE the pic. We've gone as Native Americans & Pirates (well I was a wench) and this year he's going to be a Handsom Devil while I'm going to be an Angel with devil horns - quite possibly tacky but got to try to keep it interesting. All of these costumes were done tastefully and with accessories - rather than buying a costume.
2 years ago I dressed up as a boxer, and he dressed up as a ring girl with a "Round 1" home made sign - everyone thought it was pretty funny.
Last year we dressed up as Romeo & Juliet, we got a lot of compliements.
This year we're doing Adam & Eve!
Last year, I put together simple costumes for us as Doug Funny and Patty Mayonaise from the Early 90s Nickelodeon cartoon show. Friends loved it.
Hubby just wore khaki pants, white T, and I got a green sweater vest at a thrift store for him. Also made him a I
Patty button with a pic of the Patty cartoon character on it.
I found a $5 light blue sweatshirt at Wal mart, glued large pink felt dots to it and pinned some dark blue fabric to a full skirt i already had. Topped it off with an awesome blonde wig ($5 at Rite Aid) and cheap pink tennis shoes ($6 WalMart)
