I think we can all agree that throwing in some unique date nights can be a great way to have a lot of fun and spice up any relationship. You know you have been dying to try out one of those cute date night ideas you’ve seen flooding the internet, so why not? After all, who doesn’t love a good date night! Here are some fun ideas that I love doing that are local and always a great time!
Trying to save a little money?
Staying at home and doing a date night in can be a great way to still have a lot of fun!
- Movie Night: If you want to do a movie night, try building a tent together! Cover the whole bedroom/living room with blankets and make a romantic tent for two! This can be a great way to share some laughs and bond! Make smores, pop lots of popcorn, and have a whole movie marathon inside your tent!
- Game Night: Time to break out the board games and go old school. Board games are interactive, challenging, and are even better with more people. Have a double date with some friends and challenge them in a board game battle! May the better couple win!
- Dinner at Home: Cooking a homemade dinner is romantic and requires teamwork! Try tacking one of those Pinterest recipes and giving it your own unique spin! Don’t forget dessert and of course sitting down together and talking about your day. Throw in some lights (no candles in the residential halls, of course) or even pack up the food, drive to a special place, and have a picnic to make it even more romantic!
