FAQs

What to look for when choosing the best couple’s costume

The most important thing about a couple’s costume is dressing up as something you both agree on! Each of you has your own sense of humor and different requirements for what’s comfortable. You might not want to wear a costume that requires standing around a Halloween party in high heels all night or something made of itchy fabrics. Choosing a couple’s costume is a decision that needs to be made as a couple, so talk it out first.
