I considered keeping this a private list, then I thought, that’s selfish. What if there are other couples out there like us? We need ideas. Some of these are really cheap, cheesy, and creative. Some of them are fancier. Some of them are just silly. Some are a little crazy. This list was complied for my Date Night Draw Project. A date doesn’t necessarily mean you have to leave the house, a lot of these are cheap at home dates.

Theme Nights can be as simple or complicated as you want. My thoughts were make a dinner and watch a movie from that theme. You could go as far as attempting to speak, act, and dress like it too. Could be fun. Or totally weird. I put a few in the list, but you can make it whatever you want. Harry Potter themed, Italian themed, Land before Time themed (lol).
