2009 Halloween Costume Ideas for Couples

I love dressing up for Halloween!  This year I have been a little disappointed with myself because I haven’t come up with the absolute perfect idea.  Usually I spend about 11 months concocting something, but this year I might just be a little more boring than usual and use a costume that is stashed away in my closet…

Dressing up as a pair is always fun.  If you are lucky enough to have a significant other or friend to pair with who also enjoys dressing up, there are lots of ideas out there for couples.  You can buy one of the packaged deals at your local costume store that come with a complete costume for each of you like Cinderella and Prince Charming, nun and priest, or Devil couple…OR you could try one of my 2009 pop culture Halloween costume ideas for couples that are hopefully a little bit more unique.
