Halloween is still a few weeks away, but I promise it will fly by with all the school sports and fall events! If you’re still looking for some great Halloween couples costume ideas, I’m sharing some of our favorites over the years. Matt and I threw our first Halloween party of the season a couple weeks ago, and we decided to be pirates this year. It was easy, but it was something fun and something new for us. And bonus, now Leighton wants to be a pirate this year, so she can borrow my dress. Y’all know I love getting more for my money!
A couple years ago, Matt and I decided to dress up as Chrissy, the Hawkins High cheerleader, from Stranger Things and Matt dressed up as her basketball player boyfriend, Jason. Matt and I binge watched Stranger Things a couple years ago, and with the new season coming out later this year, it is the perfect time to recreate it this year!
With all of these costumes, you can even easily even add in your kids to have the entire family matching too. They are all very family friendly! Grayson even got a cute little Hawkins shirt to wear with us this year too. And Leighton wore a fun little romper and was Eleven with us at another fun trick or treating event.
A few years ago, my sister and I and our husbands decided to go as aliens while we were in New Orleans. We knew we would be spending Halloween weekend in New Orleans, and we knew we had to go all out and dress up as something fun and out of the ordinary. And this was it!
I loved how bright and colorful (hello iridescent) our costumes were, and honestly these wedge boots were so comfy! They were perfect to wear all night long. And we got compliments all night long! You can easily grab some antennas, boots and some pieces you may even own to throw together. Think silver, iridescent and greens, and don’t forget about anything glow in the dark!
I am still missing this fun trip and costume and can’t wait to go back again! The temperature was perfect and warm, and New Orleans is such a fun spot to celebrate Halloween! But if you’re celebrating with the kids too, you can easily dress them up as fun little aliens too. = )
In 2021, Matt and I did a similar costume that we did in 2019, but of course, we had to add in baby Grayson! I was a deer, and Grayson and Matt were lumberjacks. We did this the year
I also have to share my all-time favorite Halloween costume from 2018. It was the inspiration for 2021 when we added Grayson to the family costume. Matt and I dressed up as a deer and a lumberjack. Yes, we’ve done this twice now, but I did mix it up each time with leggings one year and a faux leather skirt and OTK boots the last time.
Fall is both mine and Matt’s favorite season, and a big part of why I love it so much is Halloween. I mean, how can you NOT like Halloween?! Hot chocolate, scary movies, candy, getting together with friends and family, and s’mores! And dressing up as something super fun, getting candy…there’s nothing bad about that!
It has become quite the tradition for Matt and me to dress up, watch scary movies together, make s’mores, and also throw a Halloween party. We had so much fun at the Halloween party this year. I think next year we will have to have a kids party too! They always love getting dressed up and joining in on the fun too.
What I loved about Matt’s lumberjack costume is how easy it is! You grab a buffalo plaid shirt, some jeans, and boots, and add accessories if you want. You can add an axe, a trapper hat or beanie, and suspenders, the possibilities are endless. And the great part is you don’t even have to spend much money! It’s super easy to wear all of the pieces again this fall, too.
And for my deer costume, all I had to do was use a little makeup and face paint. Then I would add an antler headband. Lastly, you’ll need either deer print leggings or a fuzzy sweater, skirt, and boots like I did above last year. And just like Matt’s costume, I was able to reuse most of the pieces again. Win-win! For my makeup, my sister put some darker makeup for contouring my forehead. We also added some to my cheeks to darken them up a bit. She used black to draw my nose on. Then you can use a lighter foundation, concealer, or even costume makeup and a brush to dot the little dots on your forehead and cheeks. It took her less than 5 minutes and was super easy to do!
What will you be dressing as for Halloween? Does your whole family dress up each Halloween?
