What are some easy last-minute BFF costumes?

Classic duos like salt and pepper (black and white t-shirts with 'S' and 'P' written on them) or a three-way plug and outlet are incredibly easy to put together last-minute.

How do we coordinate our costumes if we live far apart?

Agree on a specific color palette and purchase the same base items online, then video chat while assembling your individual props.

What if one of us wants to dress up and the other doesn't?

Try a low-effort pairing like 'Men in Black' where you both just wear black suits and sunglasses, requiring minimal costume pieces.
