A year of pre-planned date nights..
JANUARY Double date with friends. A double date can be a great way to get out of the house (meeting friends means you have to be accountable for actually going out and not cancelling because you just don’t feel like it).
FEBRUARY Coffee chat. Visit a local independent coffee house and grab a drink – just the two of you. OK grab dessert too!
MARCH Game night (board, video, card games). Many bars and restaurants have games (really). Or you can stay home and game.
APRIL Try a new activity. Rock climbing, trampoline, golf, dancing, ax throwing (yes, there is an ax throwing place in my city).
MAY Movie night. At home or in theatre.
JUNE Go see a live performance. Band, theatre, stand up comedy, second city, musical, show.
JULY Go for a walk on a beach. A free and fairly fantastic way to spend time together. If there isn’t a beach near you…walk a park…or valley.
AUGUST Walk your neighbourhood. Also, related shop local. It’s a good way to be together without having to go very far.
SEPTEMBER Sports. Play a sport, watch a sport, cheer on a sports team.
OCTOBER Make dinner together. Either at home or take a cooking class together.
NOVEMBER Visit something historical. Think: museums, art galleries, historical buildings.
DECEMBER Dinner just the two of you. At home or out on the town.
When I think date nights…I think breaking the routine. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Or be super lavish. The priority of date night is to spend time with someone special to you. And yes, this can be your couple partner, parent, child, friend, or neighbour. You deserve a date! Make it happen 🙂
SHARE: What are your favourite date night ideas?…
great ideas
Those are all fun ideas. We end up doing lots of date nights at home because honestly, by the time it’s time for the date – we are tired and don’t feel like going out.
I love this idea! We are always looking for creative stuff to do! I will defiantly keep this list handy.
This is such a great idea. A different date night for each month is such a great way to keep things interesting.
I know that we can get into a rut with what to do. This gives me lots of new ideas.
You have the idea so right, it doesn’t have to cost a lot or take a great deal of time , but you just have to show up and do it together and it will bring you closer to that person. Some of your dates are so simple but so nice!
Making dinner at home can be so much fun! It allows you to bond and enjoy something you created together.
Love this idea. It’s not always about what you do, but whom you do it with.
These are all such great ideas. I’m always looking for new date night ideas. I’ll certainly be doing some more of these.
My husband and I like to have date nights often, but neither one of us likes to spend a lot of money. We try to do something on the cheaper side. There is a great movie theater near us that plays movies for just $2.50. That’s my kind of price.
These are fantastic date night ideas. I think it is a great idea to have so many great ideas to choose from.
I am always looking for new date night ideas. Thanks for the great list. I need to choose one for Valentines day.
Fabulous ideas! Date night is so important!
This is a great idea! I love it! I’ll share this with my hubby!
Have a date night every month is a wonderful idea. I can’t remember the last time my husband and I went on a date.
These are great ideas. My husband and I like to spend time together, but seldom seem to make the time to do it. Having a chart with a type of date for each month will encourage me to actually plan a monthly date with my husband.
I love this! This is such a great gift for Valentine’s Day! Thank you!
Such fun ideas and without pre-planning nothing works well.
These are great ideas and I need to put it on the calendar each month so we follow through with them.
ok I love this! what a clever idea. My hubby and I like to do a date night once a month but it is usually going to dinner and a movie. This is such a great way to change it up a bit
Definitely a lot of fantastic suggestions, thanks for sharing these ideas. Tons to do on a date
I love the idea of actually booking dates for the whole year. That way, you can’t back out of them. At least, if they are marked on your calendar for a particular day, it makes it a little more likely to happen. Great post. Thank you.
