Ideas for Couple's Cosplay

I've never actually cosplayed before. Okay, that's a lie. For my video game themed birthday party, my mom made me a Wind Waker Princess Zelda costume herself. I bought a horrible wig and elf ears from the Halloween store. Too bad I don't have any pictures of me in that costume. At the time, I thought I was the epitome of cool...I wasn't. Now that I'm a bit older and a bit wiser, I might be able to make a better looking cosplay that would be worthy to show off at conventions.

After I got a little bit of experience, I would love to cosplay with my boyfriend! After some bribing and coaxing, I might be able to snag him in a costume to take him around some local conventions. Yeah, that would take a lot of convincing on my part if I ever wanted him in cosplay. In case my dream becomes reality, and you just happen to be looking for some ideas as well, here's my couple's cosplay wish list!


1. Luna and Gill from Harvest Moon: Animal Parade

The entire point of the Harvest Moon video games is to, take care of a farm, marry a cute guy/girl, and have children. There are so many couples that you can choose from different games across the ages, it's almost too difficult to pick! For me, I love Luna and Gill because of how cute they look. I already own a light purple wig that would be pretty close to what Luna wears; and the outfits they wear aren't too difficult to construct. It would be perfect as a beginning couples cosplay.

2. Finn and Princess Bubblegum / Fionna and Prince Gumball from Adventure Time

I love Adventure Time but I haven't had the time to catch up with the series. I've been watching it periodically on Netflix when I have the chance. I really love the show, especially the Fionna and Cake episode! I'm not exactly sure if I could convince my boyfriend to "think pink" for a day and be Prince Gumball. (Maybe telling him that his idol, Neil Patrick Harris, voiced the character would do the trick!) If I were to be Princess Bubblegum, I think I would have to cosplay her as a child, since I'm much shorter than my boyfriend. Either way, these couples are just too cute!

3. Chihiro and Haku from Spirited Away

We both love Spirited Away so so so much. This is personally my favorite movie of all time. I would love to become Chihiro and I would love to see my boyfriend as Haku. Out of the three cosplays I picked out, this is one I can actually see happening sometime soon! (Only because he really enjoyed the movie. If he didn't know what his was, well, this would take some explaining...)  

4. Link and Zelda from Skyward Sword

I already have a MAJOR crush on these character designs for Link and Zelda. I was throwing around the idea of cosplaying as Zelda by myself, but really, wouldn't it be more fun if I had Link with me as well? My boyfriend knows I'm a huge Zelda fan, so if I mentioned this one to him, it wouldn't be a surprise. There are so many different parts to the costume, and so many props that would have to be made!

Of course, there are plenty of cosplays out there for couples to do. The possibilities are endless! I have so many more ideas in my head, but I kept it to just these four for now. Maybe in the future, I'll make another post of couple's cosplay ideas! Let me know who you would cosplay as with your significant other! I would love to hear what your ideas are! Thanks for reading!
