Ideas for a Romantic Night in
It’s not always easy to find the time and money to go on a romantic date, but that doesn’t mean the flame has to stop burning. If you and your other half haven’t been on a date in a while and are struggling to fit it in, then it would be a good idea to have one in the comfort of your own home. This doesn’t mean it has to be boring – you could even dress up just like you would if you were going out! Keep your love life alive with these exciting date ideas for a romantic night in.
Movie Night
Watching a movie on a Saturday night isn’t exactly unusual business, but a fun idea would be to take the time for a full-blown weekend movie marathon. You could even make choosing the films part of the fun by each writing down your movie picks and placing them into a hat to pick out. Once you’ve picked your movie schedule, get comfy together on the sofa, get some wine and chocolate, and enjoy watching the stories unfold. It’s small, intimate moments like these that can be the most special.
Board Games
Get your competitive head-on and challenge your other half to a night of board games! Board games aren’t just reserved for family night, as there are plenty that you can play with two players. Put some music on in the background and enjoy beating each other and laughing about silly mistakes.
Cook and Bake Together
Get yourself in the kitchen and work together to create a delicious three-course meal. One of you may have a special starter up your sleeve, while the other has been waiting to test out a trifle recipe for a while. The best part is the cooking will be just as much fun as the eating! You’ll be spending quality time together and showing off your skills, and once you’ve finished, you’ll both be pleased knowing you’ve put in the same amount of effort. Enjoy your meal with a bottle of red and enjoy the hard work (and hard fun!) that went into making your night.
Bring the Spa Home
Give each other a little luxury by bringing the spa to your home. Get the essential oils out and give each other slow massages, laugh at each-others funny looking face masks and you could even end by sharing a bath with a glass of wine! This intimate night will allow you to spend quality one on one time while indulging in pure relaxation.
Go Through Old Memories
One of the best ways of sparking an old flame is to remember all the best times you have shared. Take out the dusty old boxes and laugh your way through the old pictures, letters and funny little trinkets bought on holiday. By the end of the night, you will have been on a journey from the beginning of your relationship to now and you will remember just how much you love each other.
