How to Plan an At-Home Date Night
Ah, date night. Things might look a little different in 2020, but the sentiments of spending the evening with your significant other, rid of work or distractions, is still a beautiful thing. And besides, spending more time at home doesn’t mean we’re unable to create memorable experiences!
Here are our top tips for planning a stellar at-home date night.
- Get Dressed Up
Anyone else living in more casual attire these days? Trade the athletic attire (or pjs, no judgement) for a nice top and jeans or even a summery dress. Want to get crazy? Go glam with new makeup products or techniques!
2. Set the Mood
Turn your dining room table into a cozy restaurant with just two things: candles and a great playlist. Soft lighting and your favorite music is all it takes for incredible ambiance!
3. Go all out with food
Whether you cook at home — maybe homemade pizza or fondue?! — or grab take out and serve it on your best china, treat your night like you’re at a restaurant and enjoy an appetizer, entrees, and even dessert. Or, if you’ve taken one of our cheeseboard classes, now is the time to put your skills to the test!
4. Add a theme
Have you ever wanted to immerse yourself in a book, movie, or country? Transform your patio into a tropical oasis complete with a strawberry daiquiri or turn your living room into the grand halls of Hogwarts with Butterbeer — with a little creativity, there’s no limit to what you can do.
5. Plan An Activity
Get out those dusty board games, turn your living room into a fort, plan out a movie marathon, or take a SkillPop Anywhere class together! Planning something besides watching re-runs of The Office will start new conversations, make your time together memorable, and could even lead to a new shared passion or hobby.
What are your favorite tips for planning special evenings at home? Whatever it is, we hope you have a happy date night! ❤️
