Couple and Group Costume Ideas

When Halloween rolls around and you're trying to decide what character you want to be, sometimes that decision can be troublesome - especially when you're attending an event with others. For example, you don't want to show up in a Tina Turner outfit only to discover your date is Frankenstein rather than in an Ike Turner costume! Besides, it's often more fun to coordinate your costumes instead of each of you going as independent characters.

If you need help coming up with good couple's Halloween costumes or group outfits for your next themed party, you've come to the right place. When Candy Apple Costumes had a brick and mortar store, one of our most frequent requests was for creative couple costumes and group costume ideas. Thus, we have years of experience helping customers figure out the best matching couple, family and friend costumes. To help your decision, we've compiled this list of ideas for combining costumes and accessories to help you make a statement - whether alone, as a couple or in a group.

Are you and your partner feeling a little country? Try a Kenny Rodgers costume and Dolly Parton outfit. Do you love classic detective stories? Check out our Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson attire. Our costumes for couple's ideas will point you in the right direction to dress up as your favorite cartoon characters, Shakespearian royalty, World War II soldiers or famous explorers. Check out more ideas and tips on our Fresh Picks Costume Blog!

If an idea isn't linked to a specific product or section on our site, try searching the Costume Accessories section to build your own costume with accessories, wigs, hats and hosiery. As you ponder couples Halloween costumes, group costume ideas and more, just know you can find whatever you decide upon here at Candy Apple Costumes.
