The hardest decisions we used to have when it came to date night were what restaurant to eat at or what movie to see. But thanks to the big C word many people have been forced to get a little more creative when it comes to date night. Just because you are having date night at home doesn’t mean it can’t still be romantic and fun. Here are a few stunning date night ideas you can enjoy at home.
Movie Night
You can’t go wrong with an old classic but don’t be afraid to change it up a little. Instead of sitting on the couch watching TV, take it outside. There are so many more options nowadays thanks to smart TV and projectors you can even project a movie from some phones. Bring out a few blankets and pillows or set up some chairs. Light some candles or you can get twinkly lights and hang them up. Depending on the time of year you may want to grab some bug spray or citronella candles. There is nothing romantic about getting covered in mosquito bites.
Virtual Cooking Classes
One benefit of the big C word is virtual classes. You can take a class online for almost anything nowadays. Take a couple’s cooking class, how fun would it be to learn how to make some of the recipes you normally get at your favorite restaurants. Some places offer a single class, and some offer a 4-week class so you can even make this a weekly thing.
If you live in a big city like London, you don’t have to worry about messing up the whole cooking part. Services and delivery provided at London Pizza Depot will give you an idea of what a proper service should provide. And get your order before you even finish cleaning up your kitchen! Do not focus on the output of the night instead enjoy your time together.
Game Night
A little competition never hurts. Going to a bowling alley or playing a round of mini-golf may be a little difficult right now but with gaming systems like the Nintendo Switch, you can bring the bowling alley to your living room. The best part is you can wear your own shoes or no shoes at all. If video games aren’t your thing get a few classic games like Twister, Jenga, and Yahtzee.
Go Down Memory Lane
Bring out all the old photos. Baby pictures, high school pictures, pictures from when you first started dating, and if you’re married then pictures from your wedding. Relive all the memories, tell stories from years ago and fall in love all over again.
Date night is so important for couples no matter what stage your relationship is in. You need time to connect and show each other that you care. Going out to fancy restaurants and playing real mini golf is fun but taking the time to plan a romantic night at home can make a night 10 x more memorable than eating an overpriced steak in a dark, loud restaurant. I hope you give these stunning date night ideas that you can do at home a chance and remember it’s the thought that counts so don’t stress about it too much.
