Halloween Party for Two - Timeless Couples Costumes

If you’re planning to go to a Halloween party as a couple, check out some of these timeless themed costume ideas, both from history and from the imagination.

Roman theme - Antony & Cleopatra

A Roman warrior falling for a resplendent queen dressed in white robes with gold trim. Add a wreath of basil or ivy on your head and wear a lot of gold jewelry, and you’ll be Anthony and Cleopatra. Strappy leather sandals and a short black haircut (or wig) complete the look. Antony was a Roman general fighting against Octavian (later Augustus) for the Roman throne. Cleopatra was the Queen of Egypt but their love, as told by Shakespeare, transcended space and time. Antony said that other women may satisfy him, but Cleopatra left him thirsty for more. It’s no wonder the Italians have such an amorous reputation!

Greek theme - Zeus and Hera

Ancient Greece’s Mythological god and ...

Going as Beauty and the Beast on Halloween

When Disney remade the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, parents enjoyed the film just as much as children did. The base of the story strikes a chord that resonates within all of us. Everyone has a dark fairy tale side. First, there’s the part about seeing beauty within someone that looks like a beast. Everyone in the world is seeing something horrible in this person, and you are the lucky girl who sees a treasure inside. That one factor could possibly be the base of a large percentage of dysfunctional relationships. Falling in love with someone who’s not quite perfect is definitely not a new phenomenon. The twist that makes Beauty and the Beast so alluring is that the Beast falls for the girl and tries, with all his might, to suppress his animal instincts and become a prince for her. In Disney’s ...

Be Generous this Halloween - Dress as Robin Hood

Whether he was real or imaginary, Robin Hood left an imprint on society, both in the medieval area and today’s contemporary culture. Maybe it’s the idea that this merry man and his band of equally merry men were able to do so much for so many, or maybe it’s the lore of a happy band of guys running through the country creating justice and doing away with tyranny. Whatever the appeal, it’s something that endures today. That means that Robin Hood is a popular costume choice for Halloween. In costume, you can add merriment to the party and enjoy sparking fun and excitement by creating a fun environment for all. Interested in bring Robin Hood to life this Halloween? It’s not too difficult to do, if you understand the character.

Robin Hood was thought to be an outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He ...

Antony and Cleopatra Costumes this Halloween

If you want to bring a little tragedy and a little romance to this Halloween consider a couples costume. And what couple spells tragedy and romance better than Anthony and Cleopatra? The story of Mark Antony and Cleopatra is all about power, desire and, ultimately, tragedy. Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, puts Roman Anthony under her spell and – in a twist similar to that of Romeo and Juliet – both end up dead, having killed themselves in order to be together. Yes, it’s a bit sad, but there’s lore about Antony and Cleopatra that makes them interesting (and quintessentially sexy) characters. To get into the character of the beguiling leader Cleopatra and the besotted, yet powerful and forceful, Anthony, is a worthwhile Halloween cause.

Antony and Cleopatra Costumes

To start, you need to think about the kind of Antony and Cleopatra you want to be. That is, you can be Cleopatra in a ...

How to Get a Date with a Gladiator

Gladiator Costumes For Your Man

Dust off your grittiest toga and leather sandals and treat yourself to a day at the spa. Women in ancient Rome spent hours at the public bath to prepare for their men, so it’s only right that you spend a day at the spa. Imagine, as you’re being pampered, that your man is working out in preparation for battle. You might be able to whip him into shape by handing him a gladiator workout video a few months before your Halloween party. Make sure he knows how sexy you find a good old-fashioned Spartan man. Offer to do the workout with him, just so you can watch his muscles ripple. Or better yet, sit down with a glass of Italian wine and watch the workout video. You can do that with or without him. To get in the ...

Sexy couples and Unique Costume Ideas

There are certainly many “expected” costumes you can choose this Halloween, but it’s always good to do things in an unexpected way. For couples, there are many sexy choices, those that will raise a few eyebrows and create a few laughs. First, when attending a costume party as a couple, it’s necessary to consider how the male and female costumes work together. Going as a cowboy and cowgirl makes sense. Going as a cowboy and a ghost? It doesn’t work as well. Once you know you’re doing couples costumes, have some fun with it. Make it silly sexy, funny sexy, or goofy sexy. It is Halloween, after all. Let’s look at some unique costume ideas:

Zorro and Senorita

Make sure Zoro gets his girl this Halloween. He dresses in all black – black pants, black shirt, black cape. Add a mask and sword and he’s ready to lasso his sexy senorita. That sexy senorita, ...

Joining the Mile-High Club - In Costume

Have you ever dreamed of getting off after taking off? You’re not alone - the lore of the Mile High club is alive and healthy, as more and more people take the risk of doing it at 30,000 feet. You can keep your feet on the ground (or however you prefer to do it) and still get the effect of the sky high fun. How? Costumes and roleplay, that’s how. Let’s look at some ideas. First, it’s important to keep a few things in mind when you recreate a Mile High experience at home. When doing it on a plane there’s an element of danger and excitement about possibly being discovered, getting away with it or, best of all, getting away with it while some passengers know you did it but are either too embarrassed or two jealous to say anything! The space in which you join the Mile High club ...

Giddy Up! Cowboy and Cowgirl Costumes

If you have an adventurous spirit that might enjoy a little lasso, a little handcuff, and a little law and order play, cowboy and cowgirl costumes are just the thing. "Whoa, Nelly!" you might say. A cowgirl? A cowboy? This sounds a little bit like 2nd grade Halloween costumes. But you just hold on. We’re talking about sexy costumes, those that get your mate to paw the ground and charge right toward you. Let’s consider: Cowgirls can wear pink, or black, or a combination. She might wear thigh high boots with her pink cowgirl dress, or she might be wearing chaps over tiny black shorts. This is hardly 2nd grade Halloween we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is more, ahem, naughty in nature. If you always enjoyed playing the sheriff, you can add the sexy bad cowgirl to the mix (you will certainly have to rein her in, right)? Perhaps ...

Renaissance Faire Costume Ideas

If you and your partner enjoy the medieval period, chances are you know about Renaissance Faires. During the spring, summer and fall, various locations within the U.S. and Canada host some sort of festival, complete with jousting, crafts and good fun. Roleplay and dressing in costume is not mandatory when going to these outdoor gatherings, but it is certainly recommended if you want to get into a festive mood. Renaissance costumes have exploded in popularity in recent years as more and more people discover the allure of Renaissance faires, at which people enjoy activities like juggling, jousting and other things that are relevant to the Renaissance period. Most take place in the reign of Queen Elizabeth the First, but others take place in different time periods. These faires can be simple, and relatively small, or large drawn-out affairs that feel a bit like an amusement park. Visitors enjoy food, decorations and ...
