  • If I had a costume party to go to I would in a heart beat! But DH is such a part pooper that we haven't dressed up in a while.

  • We usually host a Halloween party at our house.

    2 years ago we dressed as Ricky Bobby and Carley Bobby from Talladega Nights.

    Last year our entire group of friends dressed as the Harry Potter cast. I was Hermoine, and H was Ron (because he has red hair).

    I'm not sure yet what we're going to dress as this year. We want to do a group dress-up again, and everyone is voting for the cast of How I Met Your Mother.

  • I love Halloween, so I always find an excuse to wear something. I can usually get DH to play along (though he doesn't go for couple costumes). I don't have costumes planned for this year, but in recent years, I was a girl from toddlers and tiaras, Gogo from kill bill, Minnie Mouse, the corpse bride, and Barbie. I'm drawing a blank on most of DH's, but I know he's been Heisenberg from breaking bad, Rex from toy story, and link from Zelda.

    ...hello out there!

  • I hate dressing up for Halloween. I don't know if that's me being grinchy about it but I'm 30 and Tom is 38 and I personally think it's stupid to spend a shit-ton of money on something we would maybe wear for 2 hours. Rant overrrrrr.

  • We dress up to go to a friend's annual halloween party- ironically, not the one we met at, but we've been going to this one together ever since (and haven't been invited to the one where we did meet- but we weren't invited the year we met, either, so that's to be expected).

    I PIP'd a thread on my GTKY day with pics from each Halloween since.  We typically go for some sort of couples costume.

    Shaggy and Velma  (with the pup as Scooby Doo), hair dresser and client (but i carried hedge clippers and we butchered a wig and put bandaids all over his neck and face, 2 top heavy oktoberfest beverage servers, etc.  More often than not, we don't buy costumes, we either borrow things or come up with something out of what we have. To me, that's where the fun is.

  • I love it. DH just does it because I make him (within reason). Last year I was a bride zombie and DH went as Ron Burgundy.

  • The last time I "dressed up" was when we went to a family Halloween party. DH tried to throw together a baseball player costume and I went as the coach. We didn't find out about the party until a day or two before and by then it was too late for us to get a costume together.

  • I dress up every single year.  Halloween is the best holiday and I'm obsessed with it.  I have a stash of costumes that I've worn in the past that I'll rotate in and out if we don't have something special to go to.  If we have something planned like a big party then I'll buy a new costume.  My work is big into Halloween so I dress up for that and this year I'll dress up just to stay home and hand out candy.  I can't not dress up...it feels weird to me.
