I recently bought a newlywed couple these date night dice off of etsy. 3 Dice that you roll to determine a food to eat, an activity to do and what your post-activity plans are. Sort of a date night a la “the dice has spoken”. Now, usually, in parent-life, I think of date night as just the activity. But the reality is that we do need to eat, and we usually do some sort of wind-down routine after a date night activity as well, so why not be intentional about all 3?
When I was making monthly activity calendars, my husband and I loved having all of our date nights planned out ahead of time. I have really missed that and we have sort of gotten into a tired, date night slump, so here’s a little Food, Activity, and After Plans to create a month of date night fun for June. You and your spouse can just pick one from each category, or (for extra fun) you print them from here, cut them into slips of paper and randomly select one from each category (sort of like make-shift dice). Here’s to forever dating our spouses!
Date Night Ideas for June (pick one from each category):
Food: (you can go to a restaurant, dine alfresco, order take-out, or have a picnic in your backyard. How you do it is up to you!)
- New restaurant
- Old favorite restaurant
- Her choice
- His choice
- Something adventurous
- Something comforting
Activity:
- Take a romantic walk outside together or sit on your porch/back patio (even with the baby monitors!) to reconnect.
- Watch (or go see) a new-to-both-of-you movie.
- Try something a bit more planned one time this month by looking up outdoor movies or concerts near you. You could also go to a baseball game or a performance by a local theater–make plans to hire a babysitter and go do something special once this month.
- Get active in some way–play basketball together, do some yoga in your living room, try a workout video on YouTube or have a dance party.
- Create something together–paint, make music (if instruments are your thing) or make a delicious dessert to share afterward.
After:
- Have a special dessert
- Snuggle at home
- Read together or to each other
- Have a yummy drink
- Spend some intentional time praying together
- Do something pampering like face masks
Alright! 3 categories for date night. Pull 1 idea from each and see how much fun the month of June can be! Happy dating! 🙂
