Halloween by yourself is fun -- but Halloween with a fantastic partner can be even better. After all, when else do you get to dress up and be ridiculous for an entire night?
Of course, finding a good Halloween costume for both of you can be a challenge. Check out the list below for some fun and funky ideas.
6 College Halloween Costumes for Couples in 2011
1. Prince William and Kate Middleton. It wasn't called the "wedding of the century" for nothing. Spruce yourselves up for some fun -- and adopt a fake English accent if you're feeling particularly fancy.
2. Famous couples in the news. Fortunately, a quick glance of the 2011 gossip headlines can provide a lot of material for Halloween costume ideas. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were in the news for their twins. Kate Hudson found love with Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez made headlines because, well, they're dating. Beyonce and Jay-Z made headlines because, well, they're great musicians -- and expecting a baby. Other couples, like Jane Lynch and wife Dr. Lara Embry, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, and Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka, made headlines because they're funny, entertaining people who also just seem like nice, regular folks.
3. Couples who got married/are engaged. Dressing as a couple who got married in 2011 -- especially if their wedding was a bit over the top -- can be an easy way to find an instant and memorable Halloween costume. Consider dressing as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, or Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig. Don't forget your huge wedding ring, too, of course! (Added benefit: try heading to a thrift store to find a cheap dress/suit/accessories that could easily be substituted for wedding material.) If you feel like going the creepy route, you can also dress as 51-year-old actor Doug Anthony Hutchison and his 16-year-old bride/aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden.
4. Character couples from a certain era. Alright, so you like the couple idea but want to jazz it up a bit. Look to the past decades for some ideas, like Sonny and Cher, Madonna and Sean Penn, Paula Abdul and Emilio Estevez, John and Jackie Kennedy, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, or Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. You can have some fun with celebrities while also getting a little crazy with costumes and hair.
5. Madonna and her current boyfriend-of-the-season. Although she was married to Guy Ritchie for several years, Madonna seems to make headlines with whatever young, handsome boyfriend she currently has. A quick Google search will help you figure out who her current beau is -- and how you both can dress up to look like the famous couple.
6. The Obamas. Barack and Michelle Obama are one of the best-recognized and most well-known couples in the world. Why not copy the outfits they wore for one of their famous events (try Inauguration Night for outfits everyone will recognize) and have a little fun acting presidential?
