These super quick and easy ideas can be thrown together in minutes and will get you points for being creative, too!

* Queen Of Hearts
Pair this easy-to-make custom collar with a red dress and red lipstick for an instant Alice in Wonderland-inspired costume.

Then, staple cards from a deck all around the paper collar, layering them for a fanned-out effect.

* Men In Black
Couples and BFFs can easily recreate the iconic movie look with suits, ties, and a pair of sunglasses!
* Old Married Couple
There's something fun about being young and trying to age yourself forty (or more) years in the future. Show up to the party looking like you're ready for bed, so that you can crash as soon as you get home. Best costume ever.
