10 STAY AT HOME DATE IDEAS

We think at-home date nights can actually be some of the most fun—and certainly the most romantic. First, there’s the low-pressure of the whole situation. You’re automatically removing annoying potential stressors like finding parking near your favorite restaurant or being stuck in a crowded or noisy movie theatre. This also means you’re probably saving a ton of money. Yay! 

But we also like stay-at-home dates because they are just relaxing and fun and low-key. At home, pants are optional. Drinking is encouraged. And cuddling is constant. 

BOARDGAME NIGHT (ONE OF THE BEST AT HOME DATE NIGHT IDEAS)

This is a classic thing to do as a couple. Pull out the boardgames from the closet and challenge each other to a fun evening of competition. It’s best to have a collection of your favorite board games to make a marathon event of it, but you can also just play one or two games.

CREATE A STAY AT HOME SPA NIGHT FOR TWO

Why go to an expensive spa when you can have a similar experience at home for (practically) free?! We love doing an at-home date night at the “spa Hartle,” where we enjoy massages, facials, and lots of delicious scents, typically with some Enya playing in the background.

WATCH A CLASSIC FILM YOU’VE NEVER SEEN

There are so many classic movies to enjoy, and they are classics for a reason. Pick one that neither of you have ever seen and get watchin’.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW TOGETHER, LIKE PARTNER YOGA

With the Internet at our fingertips, an endless array of skills is available. For this stay-at-home date, you and your significant other will tune into YouTube for some instructional videos. Try learning something new together. Learning with your spouse or your partner is an amazing way to connect and create fun memories. 

SLOW DANCE TO YOUR FAVORITE ROMANTIC SONGS

You don’t need to head to the club or to a fancy party to dance together. Create a romantic playlist and have your own private dance session. We recommend the kitchen, and we suggest pairing your dance sesh with a couple glasses of champagne. Turn down the lights to set the perfect relaxing mood.

CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE COCKTAIL AS A COUPLE

Do the two of you have a go-to drink? Why not make one up? With a few basic bar ingredients (and lots of creativity) you can definitely concoct something awesome. Be sure to give the cocktail a name worthy of its greatness. 

TRY A DIY WINE AND CHEESE PARTY

 For a terrific stay at home date idea is a DIY wine and cheese tasting! 

PLAY VIDEO GAMES

Pick up those controls and show Bowser who’s boss. (Can you tell I haven’t played video games since the 90s?) For some couples, this might be a typical date night activity, but it can be even more fun if it’s something you don’t do regularly. Have fun! 

HAVE AN AT-HOME PAINT AND SIP

Have you ever attended a paint and sip event? They are always a blast! But they cost money, too. Instead, do it on your own together with your partner. 

You’ll need blank canvases, one or two bottles of wine, some paint, and you’re ready to go. Watch an instructional video to help you create your masterpiece. Bob Ross is always a good time. 

HAVE AN ICE CREAM PARTY FOR TWO

Splurge like crazy and allow yourselves to have an ice cream feast. Pick up your favorite flavors for sure, but also don’t forget to grab all the options for toppings so you can create enormous, delicious sundaes. 

DO A PUZZLE TOGETHER

Puzzles are an underrated activity for date nights. Best of all, as you work on putting together a puzzle, you can simultaneously have a great conversation or binge-watch your favorite TV show.

OK, that’s more than 10 to get you going. Enjoy!
