Couple's Halloween costumes, suggestions please!

Just as the title suggests...

I'm looking for ideas for my boyfriend and I.  We don't have to do a matching thing but if there's something that's unique or funny enough, I'd like to.  Last year I was Kevin Federline and my boyfriend went as crazy Britney with the shaved head and broken umbrella.

A few things to note:

1. we do not have kids so we don't need a costume involving them

2. I'd prefer no really overdone ones.  For instance, I will not be a cheerleader and he will not be a football player.

Thanks in advance!

Here are a few I have seen in the past...an electric plug and the light socket...mustard and ketchup...salt and pepper...cigarette and lighter...warden and prisoner...princess and the pirate...queen and king...Hillary and Bill Clinton...just a few ideas...have fun!

Here's a good list to get you started.  I like the idea of a zookeeper and a wild animal, not sure how to pull off the zoo keeper though.  A beekeeper would be easier if you could find one of those netted masks.

Awesome ideas guys, thanks! cait, I really like that list.  If I can't find something on there then I won't find anything lol.

My friend did a really cute thing last year that I was upset I didn't think of it first!  Her boyfriend was Howie Mandel from "Deal or No Deal" and she was one of the models with a numbered briefcase... it opened and everything!  She just glammed herself up and crafted herself a nice case.  Her boyfriend's sister even was a model and the three of them walked around together all night, but I'm sure that just as a couple, it would work out very well too!

Janis Joplin & Jim Morrison.  No, they weren't a couple, but from the same genre...

Just don't do what an aquaintance of mine told me.....Her boyfriend actually wanted to go as Chester the Molester and wanted her to go as a 10 year old girl.

Yuck!!!

I am in the same situtation as you. My boyfriend and me have been invited to a costume party so we will be dressing up this year (he hates this). We have talked about a lot of ideas, and I think we are going to be gangsters (think 1920's style) kind of like Bonnie and Clyde. I found a great website for costume ideas:

I have friends who went as trees with a hammock tied between them.  But maybe that's too cute-sy for you.

I also had friends come dressed to a party as my husband and I!  She borrowed a jacket like mine, and he borrowed some glasses and stuff--it was pretty cute.  If you're going to a party where your host or another couple is easily distinguished by hair or clothing, that could be kind of fun.

Hubby and I are going to a Halloween wedding! ALways wanted to do that - I will wear my belly dancing costume (I belly dance) and he will wear pj bottoms (will buy some cheap ones at WM) and a  scarf around his waist for belt and a dagger.  He will be my drummer.

Saw this at a party of mine -  he's a bee and she's a honey pot. - could be a flower...   OR she's a bee and he's a bee keeper. 

A rabbit and a Carrot

M&MS

A slice of pizza and a delivery person

A devil and an Angel

A screw driver and a screw

A pair of dice

How about a tissue and a runny nose. I think that could be funny if you can pull of the tissue. Maybe a tissue box. 

I've always thought that the combo suits were interesting where each person is a half of a whole, but some of them are overdone or just goofy. If you have artistic friends, they could paint you as two parts of a picture so when you stand next to each other you form the completed work of art.

Lock and key (this may have already been suggested)

If you want something a little more risque you could go as a dirty farmer and a nervous sheep ;) It's wrong on a couple of levels.
