7 Easy, Fun, and Romantic At-Home Date Night Ideas

Planning date nights, generally speaking, is hard enough, but planning a special night that can (must… given most of our current circumstances…) be done at home is even more challenging. It’s just too easy to fall into the habit of getting take out and streaming the latest movie on Netflix. Luckily, there are lots of ways to spruce up your typical stay-at-home date night.

We’ve gathered some of our favorite unique stay-at-home date night ideas below.

Easy, Fun, and Romantic At-Home Date Night Ideas

Virtual Wine Tasting

Doable Dates You Can Do from Home

Since many people are now staying at home rather than going out, many wineries have set up virtual wine tastings you can do from the comfort of home. A sampling of wine can be sent right to your doorstep to enjoy during the virtual tasting. Plan ahead and get your favorite charcuterie board items and chocolates to complete the experience.

Online Cooking Class

Similar to the wine tastings, many chefs and restaurants are offering virtual cooking classes you can do from home. Choose your favorite restaurant and recipe and stock up on the list of grocery items while you learn to whip up an entree like the pros. Research wine pairings ahead of time so you can replicate the restaurant experience from your dining room.

Game Night

Whip up some specialty cocktails, grab your favorite snacks and sit down for a fun and competitive game night. Choose from games that are perfect for two or choose a four-player game to set-up the perfect double date you can do from home.

Spa Day

Doable Dates You Can Do from Home

Turn your house into a mini spa for the day for some quality time together without leaving your house. Treat yourself to comfy robes, fruit-infused water to sip on during the day and light snacks to get you in the mood. You can book a couples’ massage with an at-home masseuse, make your own face masks or relax in a bath for two.

Backyard Picnic

Doable Dates You Can Do from Home

Make use of the great outdoors – or at least your backyard – by setting up a picnic at twilight. Put together your favorite food and make a special date-night cocktail to enjoy while you’re watching the sunset. End the evening with a decadent dessert you can enjoy under the stars. Bonus points if you have a fire pit and can whip up some s’mores while cuddling under a blanket.

Outdoor Movie Night

Doable Dates You Can Do from Home

Depending on your space, you can get a projector to show a feature film on your backyard fence or the side of your house. Replicate the drive-in movie experience with candy, buttered popcorn and soft drinks. (Plus, you can use the projector to show kids’ movies during non-date nights, too!)

Travel Abroad Without Leaving Home

Doable Dates You Can Do from Home

Many museums and tourist attractions offer online tours, making it a great option to escape your everyday routine from the comfort of your couch. Choose from sites like the British Museum in London, Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and Machu Picchu. Step things up a notch by matching your cuisine and drink choice to the museum or attractions locale.

Life gets so busy that it’s not always easy to take a moment and think outside the box for ways to spend time together outside of your normal routines. The above ideas are just a starting point for how you can take stay-at-home date night up a notch.
