Every year, it’s the same thing: He flops on the couch and says, “What do you want to be for Halloween this year?” and then you say, “I dunno, what do you want to be?” Suddenly, there are tumbleweeds rolling through your living room. Le sigh. Finding the perfect couples’ costume is a tricky business. You want costumes that are as unique and fun as you are — and we’ve got just the ticket.
1. Pacman and Miss Pacman
These first few costume ideas are all DIY, and all by Julie Ann Art. I couldn’t decide on which one was my fave — all are adorable. First up is Pacman and Miss Pacman, a game I totally sucked at as a kid, and these costumes have helped me let go of the pent up resentment.
2. Bolt of lightning
He’s the bolt of lightning, while she’s the poor muffin who was electrocuted.
3. Bank robber and bag of money
He’s the bag of money and she’s the bank robber (the first pic left me in some serious stitches).
4. Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Why not dress as the Stone Age’s hottest couple?
5. SNL Spartan cheerleaders

Better practice your cheers! Guaranteed, your friends will want to see you two in action.
6. Walt and Jesse
OK, so they’ve got this love/hate thing going on Breaking Bad, but that doesn’t mean you have to follow suit — no pun intended.
7. Sesame Street Martians
Yip yip yip yip yip…
8. Google Maps
Seriously, it can be a thing if you want it to be.
9. Piper Chapman and Pornstache
What guy wouldn’t want to be Pornstache for Halloween? Talk about a slam dunk.
10. Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf
You’ve always wanted to sleep with Chuck Bass, and now you get to… you know, minus all the guilt.
11. Nerds
Will he be grape and you the strawberry nerds, or…
12. Juno and Bleeker
He is the cheese to your macaroni, after all.
13. Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone
Sixty percent of the time it’ll work. Every time.
14. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head
Dress as the most powerful couple in your pantry.
15. Bacon and eggs

I wish I was joking.
16. American Gothic
Out of all 48 couples’ costumes, this one’s my favorite.
17. Chuck Noland and Wilson
Wilson! Wilsooon!
18. Silent film stars
Perfect for if you’re not really into parties.
19. Magician and a rabbit
Just don’t let him turn into a bossy pants with that wand. Well, unless you like that sort of thing.
20. Soap and a loofah

You’ll both be so fresh and so clean, clean.
21. Mary Katherine Gallagher and Mr. Peepers
I mean, he’s probably going to be chewing and spitting at people anyway, amiright?
22. M&M’S
Check them out!
23. Waldo and Wenda
24. Bert and Ernie
C’mon, buy a rubber ducky and live a little.
25. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf
26. Roger and Jessica Rabbit
You can decide who’s going to play what part.
27. Mac and PC
If your beau is being difficult about Halloween, make it easy on him by reenacting the Mac and PC commercial as your couples’ costume. Bam. Done.
28. Harry and Lloyd
Since you’re both ecstatic about the Dumb & Dumber sequel, why not celebrate with a nice bottle of chianti?
29. Austin Powers and Fembot
Unfortunately for Austin, machine gun boobs sold separately.
30. Mary Poppins and Bert
Genius, no?
31. Mario and Luigi
What a great pair, right?
32. Crayons
Maybe later, blue crayon and pink crayon can color outside the lines, wink wink.
33. Angry Birds
These his and hers Angry Birds costumes are totally adorable, so you’re going to have to amp up the angry.
34. Kermit and Miss Piggy
OK, so it ain’t easy being green, but I think Kermit will get over it once he sees your Miss Piggy outfit.
35. Garfield and Otie
All you have to do is talk someone into making you lasagna to go with your Garfield costume, and you’re good to go… for a nap. (And I bet your beau would make an adorable Otie. Just sayin’.)
36. Alice and the Mad Hatter
For the quirky folks out there.
37. Bee and a Flower
38. Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler
Bazinga!

48. A dentist and a tooth fairy
Admit it: If your dentist looked like your sig-o, you’d maintain your teeth way more often.
49. A rock star and a groupie
Tell him to dress as Slash (or enter your fave rock star here) and insinuate you’ll make it worth his while. Win/win.
50. Hugh Hefner and a Playboy Bunny
You knew I had to go there.
