Halloween is coming up next week, and if you’re still looking for some great Halloween couples costume ideas, I’m sharing some of our favorites over the years. I took the kids back to the pumpkin patch this weekend, and then we had a Halloween party yesterday also. And there are several more halloween parties and events this week and next too. This year 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 last year, and I’ve been wanting to dress up as characters ever since!
A couple weeks ago, I shared several great and inexpensive Halloween costume ideas for kids too, and you can 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 too. And Leighton wore a fun little romper and was Eleven with us at another fun trick or treating event.
Last year, 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 from last year! 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. = )
The year before last, 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. There are some similar deer print leggings linked for women and kids above (like the ones I wore a couple of years ago.) I’m thinking I may even get Leighton a pair, so she can join in on the fun with us one year too!
I also have to share my all-time favorite Halloween costume from a few years ago. It was the inspiration for la couple years ago. 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 skipped the party this year since we already like 4 costume parties we were going to, but next year we plan to start our parties back up. Matt will be out of town for Halloween, so we’ve been celebrating the last couple weeks. = )
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!
My friend and photographer, Mary Kate, and Ben dressed up a few years ago as Maverick and Kelly! All they had to buy was the jumpsuit and the wings pin! I think it was such a perfect and fun look for them, and they looked so cute! Some of the looks that you created using pieces in your closet end up being the most fun and unique!
Since Halloween is coming up next, I wanted to share some of these really fun Halloween costumes that are great for couples! They’re inexpensive and easy to pull together last minute too. What will you be dressing as for Halloween? Does your whole family dress up each Halloween?
