2010 Halloween Costumes for Couples: Last Minute Funny Ideas

Suggestions for DIY Homemade Couples Halloween Costumes

Darrin Atkins
Halloween is one of the greatest holidays of the year. In 2010, there will be some very interesting and funny couples' costumes. Here are some suggestions for DIY homemade Halloween costumes for couples who need last minute costume ideas.

It is one thing to simply dress up for Halloween in 2010. But it is another thing altogether to dress up with your partner in a matching or coordinated Halloween costume, especially in a theme for something that happened in the news in 2010.

Plus, not only is a themed Halloween costume for a couple a lot of fun, you may also be able to make it yourself in a DIY do-it-yourself homemade manner, using your own clothes and crafts, thus making the costume funny and fun at the same time.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James


Sandra Bullock and Jesse James were in the news a lot in 2010. Sandra Bullock achieved a major career milestone in her professional life by winning an Academy Award Oscar. But then in her personal life she lost her man, Jesse James. Mr. James made a big mistake, of course, but according to a recent ABC interview, he still loves Sandra Bullock.

If you and your partner want to dress up in a couples costume in the likeness of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, you should be able to create the costume in an easy DIY homemade manner, which is great if you decide at the last minute to do this couples costume.

It helps if you already look a little like Sandra Bullock and Jesse James. Check out these photos at etonline.com and then try to dress up in the same outfits as what they are wearing. For Jesse James, simply comb your hair back and grow or pencil on a goatee. For Sandra Bullock, keep the makeup to a minimum and just be classy and cool.

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren


If you are really brave, you and your partner could dress up as Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. Tiger Woods and his wife were in the news a lot in 2010 and people would have no trouble recognizing a couple dressed up as this famous pair on Halloween night. The New York Daily News recently ran an article about the possibility of the couple filing for divorce.

If you do not naturally look like Tiger or Elin, hopefully the female in your couple has blonde hair and, if so, make sure to add some sharp sunglasses and expensive clothes. As for Tiger Woods, check out amazon.com for some costume accessories to help you look like Tiger Woods.

Hope you have enjoyed these last minute ideas for Halloween costumes for couples. If you and your partner love spending time with each other, then Halloween and a coordinating couples costume may be just the thing you need for a fun time.

Happy Halloween 2010. Be safe out on the streets and always make sure to have a designated driver if you go out on the town or to pubs or taverns.
