20 Halloween Costumes For The Third Wheel In Your Life (It’s You)
Halloween can be the loneliest time of year. I know people want you to believe it's like Christmas and Valentine's Day, but I have to respectfully disagree. There is nothing sadder than walking around Party City and your local thrift store dreaming up the greatest couples' costumes knowing that it will be another Halloween of unrealized dreams.
But, hope isn't lost. There are some great costume ideas you can pitch to your couple friends since that will make you feel like the luckiest third wheel around.
Lock, Shock, And Barrel From The Nightmare Before Christmas.
How could you go wrong with this classic look? The best part about this ensemble? The third wheel isn't completely apparent right away. Aside from the masks, it would be a pretty easy costume to pull off.
Netflix, Chill, And Popcorn.
This is brilliant. Popcorn should always be invited to Netflix and Chill, even if it's only as your third wheel to a Halloween party. No one is going to question it.
Snap, Crackle, And Pop.
Everyone loves Rice Krispies and with you, bae, and your third wheel rocking this costume, everyone is going to love you guys. It's a costume for the ages that will be talked about for Halloweens to come.
A Couple Of Cats And A Litter Box.
Now here is a real winner of a Halloween costume. It's perfect, all you have to do is convince someone in your crew to be the litter box. What do you think the poop is made of?
Fauna, Flora, and Merryweather.
Anyone with taste is going to remember watching Sleeping Beauty as a child and have fond memories of those helpful little faeries. Besides, they were all so sassy, so that is definitely going to be a good time.
Captain Hook, Peter Pan, And Tinker Bell.
If you're part of a threesome that likes to go all out then this is the costume for you! Good luck deciding who will be who, though, because clearly the best costume here is Captain Hook.
Russell, Carl And The Floating House From Up.
This is, of course, a modern Halloween classic. Up will go down in history as one of the cutest movies of all time and it's a great idea to take advantage of that.
Jessie, Woody, And Buzz From Toy Story.
Why not dress up your third wheel as a third wheel?! Real talk, we all wanted Buzz and Jessie to get together so why not make that fantasy a reality?
Rock And Roll Royalty.
Why not go out dressed up like some classic Halloween favorites — Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, and Elton John? With this group costume, you won't be able to tell who the third wheel is!
Lizzie McGuire, Isabella Parigi, And Paolo Valisari.
Who doesn't love the Lizzie McGuire movie? Why not take yourself, your bf and your third-wheeling friend for a stroll down memory lane? Take the role of Lizzie for yourself, it's your time to shine.
Why Not Get A Little Spooky?
If you can't think of some clever trio, then go and make your own! Go as a matched up group of Halloween characters like these two gravediggers and their creepy doll.
Bed, Bath, And Beyond.
Ok, I've got to give it up, this is pretty genius. Bed, Bath and Beyond is the best, and this is very punny. What goes better with Halloween than puns?
Dorothy, The Wicked Witch, And Glinda.
Why not bust out this old classic so your third wheel can join in on the Halloween fun? You can't go wrong with The Wizard of Oz. Bonus points if you can find someone to play Toto.
Charlie Brown, Linus, And Lucy.
Here's another easy three-person costume you can put together in no time. I think The Peanuts gang has been overlooked these last few Halloweens. It's time to bring them back.
Wanda, Cosmo, And Timmy.
This is a trio anyone can stand behind. You and your Cosmo would be nothing without a Timmy to look after so go ahead and get that third wheel under your spell.
Ariel, Ursula, And King Triton.
Another classic Disney Halloween win. The Little Mermaid will never go out of style. You can be Ariel and your man and best friend can battle it out for who wins your favor.
Scooby, Velma And Shaggy.
Why not get the gang together for this Halloween costume that's always a win. You can spend your whole Halloween exposing baddies and eating everything in sight. Sounds like a win to me.
Just A Bunch Of Cupcakes.
You don't always have to go as a famous trio. Go as a group of something that we can never get enough of, like cupcakes. Who doesn't love something (or someone) covered in frosting?
Harry, Ron, And Hermoine.
Going out for Halloween as a character from Harry Potter is like a rite of passage. We all have to do it at least once, so why not now? It's your time.
A Couple Of American Gladiators.
When in doubt, go with something easy that is fun but also a little sexy. Bust out your work out finest and throw a few sparkles on and you're ready to go.
Squid Game Characters
It might be a tossup to which of these characters had it the worst in Squid Game but they still makes for a great three person Halloween costume! One person can be a contestant, another a guard, and the third person can be the game master!
