Are you wanting some quality time with your significant other but are tired of the same dates? We have you covered! Date night in our home is never the same, so we wanted to share our favorites.
We made sure to focus on date nights for couples that are affordable and unique! We even included some options for an at home date that are just as fun. You won't want to skip the date night for couples game ideas too!
This post is about date nights for couples.
Date Night Ideas
Sunset Viewing
Go to a local park or beach to watch the sunset! Pack your favorite snacks or get some food from your favorite restaurant. Enjoy the pretty views and quality time with your significant other!
DIY Pizza Night
Instead of delivering your pizza, make them at home! Both of you can have a personal pan pizza with your favorite toppings. You could make the dough from scratch too, or you could buy it already made to save some time!
Drive-In Movie
If you are tired of the simple movie night at home, go to a drive-in movie! You can bring your favorite candy and enjoy a classic film!
Bookstore Date
The best date for all the bookworms! Both of you will pick out a book for each other at the bookstore. Grab a coffee and read together! You can share why each of you picked these books out for each other. This is a super relaxing date that you will both enjoy!
Food Truck Crawl
This one if for all the foodies! Grab your significant other & head to a food truck! You could each pick one for an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Sometimes there are even food trucks lined up together, so you could walk between each one!
Themed Date
If you are used to doing dinner and drinks, this is a great way to spice it up! Pick a theme for the night like Italy, Country, etc. & plan based off that. Play music that sets the tone, and try a new cocktail recipe with the theme! For dinner go to a restaurant that pairs well with the theme or cook at home!
Cooking Class
Everyone has a meal that they love but can't make! There are tons of cooking classes that you could try. I recommend picking something for both of you. This is such a fun to enjoy a dinner while also learning something new!
Escape Room
An escape room is a must if you've never tried one! There are so many different rooms to choose from. You and your significant other will need to work together to solve the clues in order for you to escape!
Amusement Park
An amusement park is one of my favorite date ideas for couples! If you both are roller coaster lovers, this is the perfect entertaining date. Everyone will be entertained for hours with this date.
Time Capsule
As you get older, it feels like time is going by so quickly. Grab some items and write a couple letters about your current life and love. Seal the time capsule, and open it in 5 or 10 years.
Wine Tasting
You won't find a better date idea for the wine lovers! Consider doing wine tasting at a local winery. You could also have some appetizers there. If going to the winery isn't in the budget, you could consider doing a wine tasting at home. Here is our fully planned wine tasting at home date!
Dance Class
Step out of your comfort zone and try something new! There are lots of dance classes out there, but try one that both of you are excited about! You could even have a cocktail before at home. Consider a dance class if you want to completely switch it up!
Looking for something else?
Picnic
A picnic is one of my favorite affordable date nights for couples! Pack all your favorite snacks and sandwiches, or pick up something from a favorite restaurant. Head to one of your favorite parks, and enjoy the food, your significant other, and the view!
Thrift Store Challenge
Set a price limit and shop for each other! I love the idea of picking out outfits for each other. If you aren't big thrifters, you could go to Target or a store like that. Either way you both have a limit and will surprise each other with an outfit or gift!
