Halloween
Possibly the kids, since they are after all the Rebel Black Dot Society, a cohesive group, could all share a common theme. You see, the problem with horrible theme costumes is not that they are themed, but that the horrible people selecting the themes make horrible decisions. An example: boyfriends and girlfriends going as T-Birds and Pink Ladies from fucking Grease. (Anything Grease related is clearly a terrible idea.) On the other hand, two people (not one, not three) are required to go as Joliet Jake and Elwood, the Blues Brothers.

Excellent costumes for couples include (but are not limited to): Nick and Nora Charles (the classic), Han Solo and Princess Leia, Margot and Richie Tenenbaum, Sid and Nancy, or Tyler Durden and Marla Singer.

Excellent costumes for groups include (but are not limited to): the Blue Monday kids, the Hopeless-Savages, the Justice League of America, the Reagan Administration, or the cast of Cheers.

The Rebel Black Dot Society might go as...

Roger Smith (Parker Peppard)

Clover Connelly (Mary Peppard)
Victor Gomez (Parker Peppard)
