Halloween is just around the corner, and you still haven't decided on a costume to do as a couple? You are lucky I got some ideas!

Halloween is my favorite holiday: everyone dressed up, kids trick-or-treating, amazing parties, cool photos, fun with friends. You cannot tell me it isn't better than Easter or Christmas. As I love Halloween, I am the perfect person to suggest costume ideas. Especially because this year I wanted to dress up with my boyfriend, and until we found something that worked for us, we reviewed every possible option. That's why I will present you with the 10 best and easiest costume ideas to do with someone else. And I will also tell you what I'm going as; maybe you can copy me if that's more your style. 

The easiest costume ideas that I found for couples were definitely Joe and Love from the show You. It's especially easy. You just need one person dressed in an apron and holding a rolling pin, and the other dressed in black with a cap, and if you want to do it creepier, you can both splash yourselves with some red paint. It's easy to do, easy to understand, and easy to clean after. You don't need any crazy things, so it's also really cheap. Another good idea that is easy is Nick and Judy from Zootopia; it's a little cliché, I will admit. But that doesn't mean that it isn't good. You can either pick stuff from your closet and make it work by adding the ears and a tail, or you can buy a costume online, which is also pretty inexpensive. 

If you can manage to do something a little bit more complicated, I would suggest doing Coraline and Wybie from Coraline. It's not that hard; the main things are the wig and the button eyes, but I get that wigs aren't for everyone. And if you are feeling like painting your whole body, I would really like to see at least one couple dress as Beast Boy and Raven from Teen Titans. It's so cool and not really that impossible. You just need to commit to the bit and paint yourself. It's not that bad. 

I left more ideas below, but just in case you are curious about what I'm wearing to Halloween, I will be dressed as Misa Amane from Death Note, and, of course, my boyfriend will be dressed as Light Yagami. Yes, I know what you may be thinking: that isn't a love story, and I know. I just found the characters really interesting, and I thought it would be original to be dressed like them. After all, the idea of Halloween isn't for the costume to be perfect. It's more important to have fun with your friends or your partner and enjoy the scariest night of the year. Halloween is great whether you are dressed like a trash bag or as some great horror movie character. You just need to have the time of your life, and that is not dependent on your costume attire.
