Great Date-Night Ideas
Because I’m about to be a newlywed, and want to relish in the wedded bliss for as long as possible, I’ve set a goal to have a date-night once a month to “keep the romance alive”. Or whatever.
So I’m trying to collect great (and cheap!) ideas for some unique date nights (or days).
This is what I’ve come up with so far – I’d love some comments to help me come up with other ideas.
Dinner and a movie – yes, it’s classic, timeless, and probably pretty boring. But we do this at home, with take-out pizza and a good (or terrible, depending on Netflix) action flick to keep us entertained. We’re actually doing this a few days after our wedding, and I’m considering it our first official married persons date.
Morning at the farmer’s market – okay, so not technically a date “night”, but I’m pretty excited to bust this one out once the Farmer’s Market hits it’s stride. We’ll be able to pick up some locally-grown foods, and enjoy the people watching and the sunshine. All that’s missing is a dog on a leash and some cutesy kissing.
College game day – we’ve got a pretty popular college football team within an hour’s drive of us, and we try to get to a game at least once a year. This fall, I’m definitely going to count it as a date, as we go just the two of us and have such a great, coupley time whenever we’re there.
Ice skating – once the weather gets cold, I want to go rent some skates and hit up one of our city park’s skating rinks. I haven’t been on skates in YEARS, and I think it would be a great way to get some good quality (butt) time in!
And that’s where my creativity runs dry. What are some other great date night suggestions?!

you are so right creativity runs dry quick! I found that communication runs dry fast as well, not a creative idea for a date but also helps to keep the couple creativity flowing, I found this article: http://expectingwords.com/category/verbal-communication
