It’s almost Halloween, which means you better start preparing for the festivities ASAP. And, if you’re in a relationship, that means deciding what spooky costume you and the significant other will be donning on October 31. But making that Halloween couples costume decision together isn’t always an easy one. For starters, you definitely want to be original — no one wants to be just another Popeye and Olive Oyl at the party. Awkward.

And at the same time, you and your partner have to both agree on the costume. This is where Halloween can start to feel like work, because usually one person in the relationship is way more excited about the couples costume than the other. (Whomp whomp.)

The best way to get into the spooktacular Halloween spirit is to agree upon a couples costume that works for both of you. Whether it’s gory, funny or a pop culture hit — the costume should express both of your unique personalities and interests.

To make this easier, I’ve  scoured the internet and compiled some of the best couples costume ideas that I’ve seen. Let us know your couples costume ideas in the comments below.
