For many couples, one of the most fun aspects of Halloween is coming up with the perfect couple's Halloween costume. This guide will give you tips and advice on how to make couple's Halloween costumes.

• Think about couples that have been in the spotlight this year.

• Consider ideas that compliment each other like peanut butter and jelly

• Be original. Try to create a costume that no one else has.

Creating the perfect couples Halloween costume is easy when you know how to go about doing so. To make a great couples costume, you need to brainstorm a list of possible costumes, list out what you need to make that costume and then actually make the costume.

The first step to determining your perfect couples costume is to figure out all of the possibilities.

1. Ideally you and your partner should brainstorm together as both of you have to approve of the final decision.
2. Be sure to consider:
   1. Old movie couples (e.g. Rhett and Scarlett)
   2. Current pop culture icons and their significant other (e.g. Sarah and Todd Palin)
   3. Current film or television couples (e.g. Bill and Sookie from True Blood)
   4. Cartoon or comic strip characters (e.g. Fred and Wilma Flintstone)
   5. Paired items (e.g. salt and pepper)
   6. Items that complement each other (e.g. hot dog and bun)
   7. Items that oppose (e.g. yin and yang)http://www.howtodothings.com/fashion-and-personal-care/a4478-how-to-make-couples-halloween-costumes.html

Once you and your partner decide what you want to be on Halloween night, you need to figure out what you need to create your costume.

1. Do you need masks?
2. Do you need make-up?
3. What is needed for your actual outfits?
4. What is the proper footwear?

Make sure you keep in mind your plans for celebrating the holiday festivities. You want to make sure that you choose and construct a couples costume that will allow you both to be comfortable with whatever your activities might be.

Once you list out the various elements of your costume, you need to start building your costume.

1. Look around your house to see if there is anything you already have that you can use.
2. Shop your local thrift stores, garage sales and surplus stores for inexpensive pieces.
3. Fill in as needed with items from specialty costume stores.
