    I just dressed up like a boxer a few days ago--wore some gym clothes and used make up I had at home to make some seriously cool looking bruises, a busted lip and wore my boxing gloves. I found instructions for the make up techniques online.

    I had considered wearing a nice dress, and making a Miss America Sash--wearing a crown and carrying flowers. That might work for your wife?

    a few years back at a different party we were prom king and queen. we don't think that is dressed up enough. as for the mermaid, i had suggested that, as i love to fish. wife thinks too cold for minimal clothing as we will likely be outside. thanks for the suggestions. anyone else?

    Here are some I've run across that i thought were pretty good:
    Shrek & Fiona
    Thing 1 & Thing 2
    Barbie and Ken (in boxes)
    Smurfs
    Pair of boobs
    One guy wore a cardboard box with things glued to the top, drew drawers on the front and wore a lampshade on his head. Had it written on the front "One Night Stand"

    All kinds of silly stuff out there.

    Have your wife wear a bathrobe and curlers and look surprised and you wear a suit and carry balloons, flowers and a giant check! Publisher's Clearinghouse winner!

    think i might just have to settle on something. waiting for it to just "hit me" but doesn't seem like it is going to happen. thanks for all the suggestions. one last ditch effort...
