So, I will not tell a little wife lie, I am planning my first Halloween Party (as a wife)! This confession is the exact reason why my posts have been lacking. Shame on me! I should be good at multi-tasking but this week, I am not.
However, I still am feeling the Halloween inspiration and even if you are not planning a Halloween Party, you just might have a few trick-or-treaters. So, do you need some fast costume ideas? Here are a few quickie wife costumes that will make it look like you spent hours but maybe only minutes!
1) Miss “Whatever State You Live In” This is such an easy costume. We all have those old bridesmaid dresses or maybe even prom dresses tucked away in our closets somewhere. Or you might have a second-hand wedding or formal dress shop near your home. So put on a pretty dress (which any wife would love to do), drag out the bottles of hairspray, and move into “MISS USA” mode! Purchases can be minimal, just some simply silky white fabric for a sash, some puffy paint (black) to write your state of choice and BAM! Instant Costume. You can really dress it up by carrying a dozen roses and putting on a TIARA to let everyone know you won! 
2) A Princess Bride!Okay, every little girl will think you are amazing if you answer your door in a REAL wedding dress and tell them you are the PRINCESS BRIDE! First of all, as a NEW WIFE you will more than likely already have the dress, shoes, veil and jewelry. All you need is a little make-up and up-do! Perfect Princess Bride!
3) A Pastry Chef! Most wives will have a fresh new apron (from all the showers), a cookbook, and possibly some crisp clean new towels to make this costume complete. Wear your everyday, add the apron, carry the cookbook, throw the towel over your shoulder, add a couple of smudges of flour on your cheeks and if your really want to go over the top, mix up a quick bowl of your favorite cookie to have in your arms (freshly mixed and ready to bake)!
Whatever you decide to be, have fun! You know, you could always just go as “the wife”!
