Couples Party Invitations
Instead of invitations …
Simply present your date with a pack of Doublemint gum. And if you you want to make a big splash to attract a great crowd, throw bags and bags of Dubble Bubble on your favorite fraternity and sorority lawns — a fun and clever way to remind everyone to line up their “double,” pick out their costumes, and get ready to party!

We have broken down this post into the following categories:
- Couples Costumes
Costumes that work for most people with many also available in plus sizes. Click on the links or pictures for details but remember, the photos below just give you the overall look. Quite often you can choose from a variety of options ranging from almost dowdy to quite sexy, so be sure to click on the “see more” links option when you visit the costume site. Some of the couples costumes in this category range from King Kong and Anne Darrow to Adam and Eve to Sugar Daddy and his Sugar Baby (my favorite!)
- Superhero and Supervillain
Any combination will work!
- Formal Costumes
This style costume works for any event but is pretty much your only option if you are attending a formal event or wedding. Yes, this year there seem to be quite a few of you who have opted for a festive Halloween wedding but prefer your guests maintain the formality typically associated with a wedding.
- Cute for her. Wearable for him.
These couple costume ideas are designed around the guy who is uncomfortable wearing costumes. They are easy to wear and not too complicated or fussy.
- Sexy for her. Sexy for him.
No further explanation needed.
- Silly costumes
Just for the fun of it.
- Simple. Cheap.
And finally, we have included a section for those of you who are begrudgingly being dragged to a couples costume party but would prefer not to dress up and certainly have no desire to spend a lot of money.
- Same Sex Couples / Buddies / Duos
…
We want to encourage all of you to enjoy the search. Choosing your costume and getting ready for the big night is at least half of the fun! We will continue to add new couples costumes as they arrive in the stores, so keep checking back! We have also made the pictures a little larger than usual so you can pretty much see what the costumes look like without clicking back and forth so much.

Charlie Sheen Adult Costume Kit

Another option for Charlie would be to pair any bowling shirt
Frisky French Maid Adult Costume
For the goddess, just about any sexy dress or costume will work but we thought this french maid costume was especially appropriate because in addition to the amusing symbolism, it reminds us of the dress one of Charlie’s goddesses wore to a charity fundraiser.
…
Butterfly & Butterfly Catcher
I like the butterfly catcher idea so much did a bit of research and basically found no off the rack costumes except this bushman costume in very limited sizes
So even better — create your own butterfly catcher costume. Have your man wear a khaki shirt and/or safari vest, khaki shorts, safari, bushman hat or boonie hat, hiking boots, and carry a butterfly net. If you don’t care for this butterfly costume, there are lots more options to choose from!

Any Disney Princess and Handsome Prince
Just a note of caution: Unless you go with a fairly sexy looking princess costume, this concept can go bad quickly. An adult in a princess costume can end up looking silly rather than stunning.
…
If your date prefers an even simpler look, he can wear a purple or wine colored cape over black slacks/jeans and a white or black collared shirt. Now add a crown

For this guy look, a simple cowboy hat worn with jeans, a t-shirt or collared long sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled, and a bandana will work just fine. He can even skip the bandanna.

Ancient Roman or Grecian Costumes
The classic toga
Rather than a sheet, it is best to go to a fabric store and buy real fabric — solid white is traditional, but any color, any pattern will work if you just want to have fun with the whole toga concept and want to stand out from the crowd. Generally, fabric is less expensive than sheets and is a better shape for wrapping around your body. TogaBoy suggests buying 4-6 yards of fabric.

Not so into the toga thing? How about one of these t-shirt designs? They come in a variety of styles and colors. If you happen to be on a college campus and want to generate excitement for your party, consider shooting t-shirts into a crowded quad or cafeteria like they do at ballgames.

Graffiti Costumes …
A simple white unisex t-shirt worn either with jeans or with white shorts or sweatpants work as a simple fashion forward costume. Just take fabric markers or even cans of spray paint (the shirts will be a little stiff if you spray them) and “tag” the shirts with just about anything you like.

Jewelry
If you really want to go way, way over the top consider renting real diamond jewelry. I am fascinated by this concept. Adorn Brides actually leases fine elegant genuine jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the price it would cost to buy it. How much more glamorous can you get than wearing tens of thousand of dollars worth of jewels!
