Hi ladies! I need some Halloween costume ideas! I want it to be something that is not too difficult, that I don't have to sew, etc I would like something different, something ironic, something that mocks something, etc. For example, last year my husband was a "Chick Magnet" and wore all black and pinned Barbie dolls all over him. Another example would be if my husband wore camo and was a hunter, I would wear Deer ears and all brown with a sign on my chest that says, "His rack"....I love that one but he doesn't want to be a hunter. :( Something along those lines....I only have a week left until a party so I need to act fast!!
Thanks in advance for your help!!
keep 'em coming ladies! So far I am thinking: A box around me painted to look like a Night Stand with a sign that says, "one night stand"...or wear all one color with Dixie cups glued to me saying "Dixie Chick" or my favorite....wear a football jersey and pants, black eye makeup under my eyes, and "tight end" on my back.... Kinda like something a bit sexy....
Keep the ideas coming! I love hearing them!
When I was a teenager, I wore all black and went to the toy store and bought a big bag of plastic bugs. I glued them all over me, some in "interesting" positions. I also found a battery-pack operated string of blue christmas lights. I cut holes in the shirt and ran the blue lights all through the shirt. Total costume = Bug light. It was great!
Last minute costume for me a few years back... painted black rings around my eyes and taped various sizes of the letter "P" all over my shirt and pants = Black Eyed Peas.
You could go as a woman in a binder. Would just take a couple big sheets of cardboard.
Some of mine from years past:
I wore a negligée with a sign around my neck (read Freudian). As a Freudian slip.
Another 'sign' costume was "Honey? Does this make me look fat?" (Won a couples contest for scariest costume. Really requires husbands. Single guys don't get it)
Furry costume. LOTS of pushed up cleavage in cutout neckline, and big blonde wig = Dahli Lama (Dolly Parton on top, llama bottom). Great for cold climates.
Silver Sequin dress + red ribbon & heels+ sharpie drawn 'tattoos' = etch-a-sketch
CHEATER costume : Sweats & sneakers = "Comfortable"
I went as Braille, once, for a non-Halloween party. Also kind of a cheat.. Because if you can see the dots, you don't get to touch them
Couples Costume = 1 straight jacket, 2 people (one arm each). We're a committed relationship.
Google "play on words costumes" and hit "images" - I just looked and there was one with a slinky attached to a dress = "slinky" dress
another was a woman with a sign that said "I love ceilings", and her shirt said "ceilings #1" = she was a "ceiling fan"
there were more...http://www.graydonkey.com/pun-costumes/ has some pictures
Definitely be a woman in a binder and your husband can be Mitt Rob-me!
We usually go to a Halloween party every year, with my cousins, and one year, he was going to wrap himself up like a present, and put a tag on himself that said "God's gift to women". I can't remember what his wife was going as, but I'm sure it was something related to the gift. Anyway I thought it was cute. Hope you have fun!!
Static cling...
I safety pinned laundry too me last year with a dryer sheet.
Binder! I thought of this while the debate was still on.
You be a brick and he is a brick layer. Not sure if that fits with the party but it's fun!
If you have instagram you can search costumes and there are tons them!!
I tend to put on a hat and say I'm Othniel Marsh...but that's not really funny, though in theory, he could go as Cope and you could run around destroying each others plates of food (or something) all evening. The Bone Wars are probably an obscure reference if it's not a bunch of paleontologists though. Hmmm.....
In college, I had a friend who simply wore a name-tag that said "God" to a party.
Sorry...I'm no help, am I? Have fun - let us know what you choose!
Once I saw someone who glued a potato chip to his shoulder. "I've got a chip on my shoulder".
OMG Riley J., FAB ideas!
You rock!
I know someone who wore all black and glued candy wrappers, popcorn and a soda cup with lid and straw all over her. She was a Movie Theater Floor! LOL
I used to go to a Witch themed Halloween party every year and one year I went as a Witch Doctor. I wore a black dress, bought a large white men's blazer from goodwill, wore a dollar tree witch hat, got a fake stethoscope, and wore Halloween tights. I also made a name badge that stated a silly witch hospital name.
My husband and I really want to do the biker idea from Super Troopers movie for the next grown up party we go to. You can wear biker chick clothes and he can wear tights and a bicycle helmet. "Oh, that kind of biker!"
Have fun!
