There are a good many ideas when it comes to couple's costumes. You can always arrive at a party dressed as a gangster and his girlfriend such as Bonnie and Clyde. Persons who are old-time comedic movie buffs may want to try Laurel and Hardy outfits especially if they enjoy performing a little comedy themselves. Also you may wish to try dressing up as regular table items such as ketchup and mustard. Certainly Frankenstein and his (lovely) bride comes to mind. Any duo that makes an impact on the celebration will be certain to amuse the other costumed guests.
The romantics at heart may wish to go as Romeo and Juliet just as long as the two aren't as passionate as the couple in the story. Also detective buffs may enjoy dressing up as Sherlock Holmes and faithful partner Watson. How about portraying a couple from a by-gone era such as Lucy and Desi. If you are doubling with another couple they can arrive alongside as Fred and Ethel—that is as long as the other guests are familiar with the famous retro sitcom. Other retro-style sitcom suggestions include Mary and Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore Show; Lucy and Mr Mooney, and Perry Mason and his assistant Della. Also there is Ralph and Norton from The Honeymooners and their respective wives; and Samantha and Darrin from Bewitched.
Also you could include Louise and Larry Tate to double alongside
Samantha and Darrin or Samantha's mother and uncle. Gilligan and
Mary Ann, the Move Star and Professor are also other old-time TV
ideas as far as couple costumes. If you want to come up with
creative couple costume ideas you may try reviewing old television
shows. Certainly the musician at heart may wish to put together a
look such as Simon and Garfunkel or if you are traveling in packs
of two couples you could initiate going as the Mamas and the
Papas.
