7 at home date ideas

Whether its a cosy night in, or a special day like Valentine's Day, staying in together, to enjoy each others company can be great. You can still have fun with your special someone at home.⠀This is the perfect time to do things together and deepen your relationship. So here are 7 at home date night ideas for you to try and you might even learn something new about each other!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1. Make a meal of it!

Make a new meal together, then get dressed up, light some candles, play some lovely background music and dine in style.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2. Cocktail date night (at home)

Whether it’s an alcoholic cocktail or a mocktail see what’s in your drinks cupboard and get mixing together. Head to https://makemeacocktail.com/mybar/ for ideas, or research cocktail options online or sign up for an online cocktail making class.

3. Lucky Dip

Write down all your ideas on little bits of paper of fun things you can do together and then put them in bowl or box. Pick one at random each month when you’re feeling blah or just need a break from planning!


4. Get dancing

Try an online dance class together! Or try and learn a new TIC TOC routine!



5. Discover your personality

Take a personality test and compare your results! This is always makes for interesting discussion!⠀Or if you want to learn more specifically about how you communicate, read the book the 5 love languages together. My hubby and I read this together a few years ago, it was eye opening!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


6. Create a bucket list

Spend time dreaming up all the things you both want to do.⠀Write them down and then work through how you can start making those dreams a reality.


7. Write your love story

Love letters in white surrounded by pink and cream rose petals

Both of you write down some details about when you met and then share your notes and see who can remember the most details!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀


I hope this gives you some great inspiration for romantic at home date ideas. I am sure you can come up with some more ideas for date night too. Enjoy!
