A Birthday, a "P" and the Answer to Everything (Second Part)

When I arrived at the party, it was immediately apparent that my costume was spot on. In fact, soon after arriving, I tried to open a door and... the handle broke! Luckily, we managed to repair it (a screw had loosened), but I was very worried.

In general, the other guests had funny costumes, too. My favourite costumes were that of a guy dressed up as a urologist and that of another guy dressed up as a bedside lamp. Very original!
During the party we ate many sweets (my friend really likes making them) and played various board games. At the end, my friend unwrapped many gifts and was very happy. My friends and I gave her a mug, some candles and some perfumes.

Thanks a lot!

My favourite costumes were that of a guy dressed up as a urologist and that of another guy dressed up as a bedside lamp.

My intuition was to make this change, and online grammar checks supported it. However, I can't explain why it works.
Online sources also offered:
"My favourite costumes were those of a guy dressed up as a urologist and of another guy dressed up as a bedside lamp." The explanation was that "costumes" is plural, so it needs to be referred to with "those."

Well done!
