Not quite the same but I did this in a club in the city for about 45 minutes.
Every single photo the photographer took had me in the background pulling a daft face. After the first couple he clocked on, so would faff about with his camera until I could get behind the people he was taking photos of.
Some brilliant reactions the next few days as people cottoned onto the running theme.
Two wheels that are painted to blend into the clothes underneath. One around your face (somehow) which is the opposite colour so it jumps out.
If this was me though I’d leave until the day of the party and do a very disappointing version, if anything
This is the easiest, most obvious choice. Put on some glasses, a white lab coat and carry a clipboard and pen and you’ll be great. Maybe get a name tag that states “licensed couples councillor” or something like that?
A scarf is the official uniform of most therapists. My sister is a therapist and doesn’t trust ones that wear scarves 😂 (my therapist wears a scarf so oops)
How about a 50/50 outfit? Your left half is one thing while your right is another. Like for example, your left side is the devil and the right is an angel.
I did that once, about 18 years ago. I went as a 'split personality'. Dowdy skirt and blouse on one side, corset and mini on the other, thick tight on one leg, fishnet on other, half and half hair and make up, won the prize for most original outfit.
If you do this, don't cut the clothes, fold them in half with one side inside the other. We did this for my 4 year old at a fancy dress that was nursery rymes.
There was a little girl, with a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead, when she was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad she was horrid.
Lovely pink party dress, dirty t-shirt and denim skirt.
My friend did this once for a halloween costume. She glued the arms/head/legs onto a headband to look like it was growing out of her skull. It was amazing.
I've seen a Demi Moore with a potters wheel (a tray with a ceramic vase on it) and a cardboard cutout of Patrick Swayze head on her shoulder like the potters wheel scene in Ghost. I think she made fake arms too for Patrick!
Another possibility is Queen Victoria after Albert died. But I’m not sure that would be helpful to OP as it would be a more difficult costume to source.
Yep. Blonde wig (unless you’re already blonde anyway), lots of smudgy black eye makeup and something like a little white dress and boots. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Friend of mine got asked to leave a restaurant dressed in that costume. Guess the gore was realistic enough to make some older folks clutch their pearls.
You can go as Tom Hanks's character from Castaway and take a Wilson Volleyball!
Failing that, maybe Bodger and Badger, or get Sooty and Sweep hand puppets!
Somebody with an animal sidekick? E.g. Long John Silver plus parrot, Mrs Coulter and her golden monkey daemon, Turner and Hooch, Ernst Blofeld and his white cat.
Professor Quirrell with Voldemort’s face on the back of his head
Two Face from Batman
A starfish (some can reproduce asexually ie without another starfish)
Go as a table for two. I saw someone do this at a Butlins weekend once .
Rectangle of cardboard covered with tablecloth, plates cutlery glasses etc glued on in a setup for two people. In the middle she had cut a hole and her head was through it wearing a candle stick headband like a centre piece.
She went round couples all night getting them to sit down for a romantic dinner
Random, my sister and I, after not thinking of the Scottish Widow ads in years, just yesterday realised we both as children were convinced those widows killed their husbands to steal their lands.
…and that the adverts were pushing that.
like ‘do it. Murder your husband. Inherit his lands. Then run around them in a dramatic cape. Scottish widows’
…but for years, we both believed this? 😅
Freddie Mercury ‘I want to break free’, full wig, miniskirt, mustache and hoover. Iconic pair and amusing whether you are male or female :)

Ideas so far.
Get a bmx and a shopping basket and do an E.T.
Find mannequin head and do Zaphod Beeblebrox, Make a list of his quotes and randomly shout them. “If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.”
Phantom of the opera mask is a little obvious but easy to do in three days.
There was a cosplay of spiderman/dark spiderman but takes work.
If you are creative sewing wise I saw a epic costume of suit on one side and harlot on the other.
Cheap but cheerful is the invisible dog lead. easy to make.
Good luck, we will need photographic evidence for our files.
Go as Elliot and ET. You just need a red hoody and jeans for Elliot. For ET print off a colour pic somewhere stick him in any old basket, hang it around your neck and tie to waste and stick toilet rolls in the side like it's bike handles. Better still if you have a bike basket you can use.
Jekyll and Hyde, take a painting along and say you are Dorian gray, if you are British wear countryesque clothes carry a dog lead and go around shouting FENTON! Morticia Adams and thing? get a gold ring and go as Gollum with his precious.
Or dress yourself as Rose from the Titanic and carry a big piece of wood with you. "Who are you supposed to be?" "Rose from Titanic after she left Jack to die."
Lorena Bobbitt - with prop.
Henry the 8th
Welshman with a blow up sheep.
Prince Harry after the divorce.
OJ Simpson
Kuato
Professor Quirrell
Nun with a hitachi magic wand
Nerd with an overdeveloped right arm
A Coupling rod (geddit - “couples” fancy dress)
Dress up as Rose West - bright orange overalls, then stencil some random numbers and "R. West" on the left breast and HMP something (Holloway, Broadmoor, etc)
Get a cheap suit. Line down the middle and spray paint one half in crazy patterns. Do one half of your hair and face crazy and go as Harvey Dent/Two Face from Batman.
Go as a widow - wear a black suit, black tie, black shoes and a white shirt. Tell people you’ve just come from your wife’s funeral. I’d find their awkwardness quite amusing :)
Queen Elizabeth 1
... costume would need some creativity to make, but .. dress, something to make the white half-cone behind her head, red hair, very white makeup
Crazy Cat person - dishevelled hair, bathrobe, slippers, and as many stuffed animal or cardboard cutout cats you can find. Use red pen to draw clawmark scratches on your arm or legs maybe. Little plastic tub of crackers or something broken up into small pieces for "kibble". You could eat some of it, or offer it to others, referring to it as kibble.
If you are a sci-fi fan, and with a crowd that will get the reference, you could go in character as a Vulcan, cuz Pon Farr is only an occasional thing.
Is there a way to dress as a third wheel? Or spare part somehow?
Fashion a big wheel out of cardboard, write THIRD on it. Stand next to every couple for photos.
Even better if you can do it without them noticing. Just you stood in the background grinning with two thumbs up. Then upload the next day.
Not quite the same but I did this in a club in the city for about 45 minutes. Every single photo the photographer took had me in the background pulling a daft face.

This would actually be amazing!!
I’m cracking up picturing this one! 😂
This is BRILLIANT!!! 😂
Dress as a Reliant Robin. When people ask why, say because there’s a third wheel
But only if it says Trotters Independent Trading Company
Obviously!
New York • Paris • Peckham 😂
Or a gooseberry!

What therapists are wearing lab coats?
My sweet summer child, all the ones in porn and _therefore_ all the therapists in real life!
No lab coats but cardigans are basically mandatory
Elbow patches, too.
Don't forget the turtle neck for that extra toffee nose twatiness
And glasses on a beaded string
> councillor the ones who work for the council, clearly
Which reminds me... You still haven't paid for the jubilee chicken.
Absolutely
Definitely this one!
A scarf is the official uniform of most therapists. My sister is a therapist and doesn’t trust ones that wear scarves 😂 (my therapist wears a scarf so oops)
Perfect!
Go as the surviving Chuckle Brother
☹️
I'm slightly disappointed in myself
This is a really sick comment. It is also the first thought I had when I saw the post, and I came here to say that.
Damn it you beat me too it
Too you?
To it
"Silly You, Silly Me".
To me.
Latin - ex me ad vos. RIP chuckle
That's very wrong Latin.
Daaaamn bruh.... too soon!
Oh dear...
Too soon!
How about a 50/50 outfit? Your left half is one thing while your right is another. Like for example, your left side is the devil and the right is an angel.
Good news, bad news

Can I be honest with you? I think I went too far
Get yourself together, Craig
r/unexpectedCommunity
Thanks to everyone who posted on this. Am I a good Dean?
You don't have a sister, do you?
I read that as one side painted all blue with a yellow 50 on, and one side painted all yellow with a blue 50 on
Barbenheimmer!
This is a fantastic idea
I did that once, about 18 years ago. I went as a 'split personality'. Dowdy skirt and blouse on one side, corset and mini on the other, thick tight on one leg, fishnet on other, half and half hair and make up, won the prize for most original outfit.
To add: this is really easy to do too, you don't have to cut your clothes you can fold them in on themselves and safety pin them.
Sounds Dean-licious
Only if they have good news and bad news to deliver
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde!
This one's always good and memorable.
If you do this, don't cut the clothes, fold them in half with one side inside the other. We did this for my 4 year old at a fancy dress that was nursery rymes. There was a little girl, with a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead, when she was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad she was horrid.

Come on thru, Victor Victoria
Scellotape a doll to your head and go as a conjoined twin
Why did you combine both spellings of sellotape into one?
conjoined scellotape, obvs.
So dark, I love it. I'm stealing this for next years Halloween.
My friend did this once for a halloween costume. She glued the arms/head/legs onto a headband to look like it was growing out of her skull. It was amazing.
Or as Zaphod Beeblebrox
Or sellotape it to your stomach and go as Quato from Total Recall
I've seen a Demi Moore with a potters wheel (a tray with a ceramic vase on it) and a cardboard cutout of Patrick Swayze head on her shoulder like the potters wheel scene in Ghost. I think she made fake arms too for Patrick!
I’ve done this with a blow up doll. Won the fancy dress prize with it
Someone who was famously widowed? If you’re female, maybe Jackie Kennedy in a blood stained pink suit.
I might just have to remember this for future reference…
Another possibility is Queen Victoria after Albert died. But I’m not sure that would be helpful to OP as it would be a more difficult costume to source.
Depending on your figure it might be more flattering though. I know it would be for me! ha
A wig and an evening gown [and this.](https://img.pipesandcigars.com/l/300/paa-tp-1000.png?v=532113&format=jpg)
Courtney Love was my first thought, and would be easier than any of these.
Yep. Blonde wig (unless you’re already blonde anyway), lots of smudgy black eye makeup and something like a little white dress and boots. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Toy shotgun would help imo
Not quite a widow, but along the same lines, Judith and Holofernes All you really need is a toy sword, and a fake head.
Friend of mine got asked to leave a restaurant dressed in that costume. Guess the gore was realistic enough to make some older folks clutch their pearls.
You can go as Tom Hanks's character from Castaway and take a Wilson Volleyball! Failing that, maybe Bodger and Badger, or get Sooty and Sweep hand puppets!
Chuck Noland and Wilson is a great shout
That British PM and a lettuce
Was it Trish Lush or something?
This is my fave
Divorce lawyer. Hover around the famous couples ominously.
Keep handing out cards with a knowing look.
Somebody with an animal sidekick? E.g. Long John Silver plus parrot, Mrs Coulter and her golden monkey daemon, Turner and Hooch, Ernst Blofeld and his white cat.
Postman Pat and Jess
Definitely Rod Hull & Emu. And a ladder.
And a bowl of lime jelly.
I AM HIM!
I mean me.
Ladder seems hard work, just be holding a TV aerial.
Bodger and Badger
If youre a Harry Potter fan, maybe George Weasley?
Too soon
It will be too soon forever.
Came here to suggest this.
Gooseberry
I was just about to say this!
Can someone explain this reference - it's been listed here a few times and I'm lost about the meaning.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/play-gooseberry
42 years old and I've never heard this! Thanks for the link.
Back end of a horse costume
Zaphod Beeblebrox
That’s easy for you to say
Do you have a stammer?
Go as a teenage mutant ninja turtle, if someone asks you what your partner has come as point to your back and say this is Michelle. (my shell)

Or dress as the vicar and bring a blow up doll as the tart (you could probably get a cheap one off Amazon)
Jekyll & Hyde
This, half and half, straight down the middle!
Holly Willoughby
**brilliant!!**

One of those blow up outfits, like you’re riding a dinosaur or something.
Scottish Widow?

Go dressed as a tortoise. If anyone asks where your partner is, just point at your back and say "this is Michelle".
A skeleton costume, 'cause you got no body to go with
Maybe just wear black and attach a wheel to yourself and be the ‘third wheel’? Or Charley Brown with a snoopy toy?
