Need couples costume idea-fast!
Need couples costume idea-fast!
Hi,
We are invited to two parties, I have been under the weather for about a week now and have not been wanting to deal with it.
Does anyone have any good couples costume ideas?
Requirements-
has to be fairly "clean" as kids are invited to these parties
no sexy or short skirt, strapless because as always, I need to lose 10 pounds
The more coverage, the better
Preferably one we don't have to buy but whatever at this point.
The best I have come up with so far is Charlie Brown and Lucy...but I would probably have to sew that as we don't have time to order unless I do express delievery which I am not really willing to pay for...
I had suggested a hot dog and a bun, but then my 7th grader clued in and said it is totally inappropriate and embarrassing. I thought it would go over her head, but noooooo!

We attend a costume party every year. This year I am a jelly fish and hubby is a snorkler. I will have a clear dome umbrella which I have added streamers of bubble wrap and various "Sea colored" celophane and ribbon streamers to the floor. Very figure friendly. Hubby "who is still a fit hard body at 50 +" will wear rash guard shirt and rashguard long pants, his mask and snorkle, and flippers. To make this more interesting, we are dancers and this is a costume dance. I can't wait to see him try to dance in his flippers. He'll definately have to be the one going backward.
dee jay jay- cute idea! like that!
We just got back from the store. Ned wanted to get it over with
. We ended up getting pig snouts, tails and then pink sweatshirts and pink sweatpants from Kmart- they are quite funny because they are really thick and they are the perfect color pink. I had a good laugh with Ned in the dressing room!
We are going to get a giant thermometer and then we are going to get some big Campbells chicken noodle soup cans, take off the labels, run thru the dishwasher and then glue the labels back on and drink out of them. We also got surgical masks.
We might paint our face pink and then put those black "plus sign" marks over our eyes to make us look sick like in the cartoons. Not sure if we will do that or not.
Anyways, we are committed! Ned's biggest fear is that I actually get sick and he has to go alone as a ridiculous pig!
That snout stinks though. UGH.

I keep seeing people going as Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth, and I think that is the funniest costume ever, but probably not the vibe you are looking for.
I like the swine flu idea. I need to go get my scarf to complete my pirate costume (complete with pirate flask), but I still don't have anywhere to wear it yet.
