hey there

In a time of uncertainty and stress, keeping your love alive and feeling connected is more important now than ever. Many couples are having the added stress of having to postpone their wedding date too! You will get through this! 

Below are date night ideas to get you through this self-isolation time in our lives. They are safe and ways to keep the spark alive - instead of letting stress get the best of you. 

Here are the Top 18 Date Nights During Self-Isolation:

1. BOARD GAMES: 

Jenga, Yahtzee, Chess, UNO, Who Sunk My Battleship? … you name it. Why don’t you get to know each other more and play each others favorite game.

2. TAKE A WALK/HIKE:

Many State Parks are eliminating the entrance fee during the quarantine period to help ease people’s mental health. It is a proven fact that your body only needs 10 minutes of fresh air to improve your serotonin levels.

3. START A HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT:

Have you been holding off on revamping your dream pantry? Now is the perfect time to do it! Maybe you started a project and haven’t finished it. 

4. SPRING CLEAN:

Nothing like de-stressing yourself like a good home cleanse. Having extra hands and tackling it together is the best. 

5. COOK DINNER + DESSERT TOGETHER:

Make it a theme - Mexican, Italian, Chinese night! 

6. MOVIE MARATHON:

Grab the popcorn and watch Star Wars series from start to finish!

7. PLANT A GARDEN:

Have you been holding back on starting this due to lack of time? 

8. MAKE A CRAFT TOGETHER:

Make candles, DIY paint night, etc. 

9. DO A YOUTUBE YOGA CLASS:

They say that a “couple that works out together, stays together.” 

10. DO A PUZZLE:

This is a great teamwork task. 

11. WRITE A COUPLES BUCKET LIST:

We will get through this! Make a list of things you two would love to do together! More traveling? Start a business? Camp at a new spot?

12. CREATE A SCAVENGER HUNT:

This is an awesome way to hike. Make a list of random items you may find on a hike (someones missing shoes, an alcoholic nip bottle, etc). 

13. RECREATE YOUR FIRST DATE:

You may have to get creative with this. But isn’t this the point? Was bowling your first date? Grab some bottles and your sons ball! 

14. BUILD A FORT:

Nothing screams being a kid more than this! 

15. BLIND TASTING:

Each of you grab 3 items and blind fold the other. And take a wild guess as to what it is! You maybe shocked how textures freak you out!

16. STREAM A CONCERT ONLINE:

Many musicians are now resourcing to streaming a concert online to help us all get through this tough time. Get some beer, neon glow sticks and it will be the best time ever!

17. GO ON A BIKE RIDE:

Don’t forget your bells - ding ding!

18. WATCH THE SUNSET:

Maybe go for a ride and try a new location to watch the sunset together. 

Don’t forget to take pictures! Create a little album for this time in your lives. In 5 years, this is going to be a time you loved getting creative, spending time together, creating memories and realizing you did it from little to nothing resources.
