The four-bar test: can you walk a mile, use a restroom solo, get through a crowd, and store your stuff? Skip full masks, which most bars make you remove for ID anyway, and giant props that need babysitting the moment you get a drink. Pocketed costumes beat carrying a bag, and comfortable shoes outrank accurate ones by hour three.
Assume every bar makes you drop the mask at the door for ID and security, and many ban prop weapons outright, even obvious toys; door staff won't debate realism at midnight. Use coat check where it exists, a few dollars per item, cash helps, and design your costume so removable pieces fit in a pocket. Anything you'd cry about losing stays home.
Pick concepts that survive separation: each half must read alone, because you will drift apart at a party, and the pair joke should bonus, not carry. Avoid tethered or shared costumes at crowded venues, ban any piece that occupies both hands, and match the effort level within the pair, since one elaborate half plus one t-shirt half reads as a hostage situation.
