6 Fun and Romantic Ways to Have Date Night in Quarantine
At-home date nights, are they truly just as fun as going out on the town?
Despite being stuck in the house for the foreseeable future, date nights don’t have to be boring with a rotation of local take-out and the latest movie on television. It’s important that during this time you continue to spend quality time with your partner and put effort into your weekly date nights. Now, we’re not saying you have to change out of your very comfortable sweatpants - although dressing up is a good way to feel like you’re going out (we love to play dress-up). Creating fun scenarios you can take part in while at home is a good way to get out of the normal routine you might have established during this quarantine. If you need some inspiration, we’ve listed six different ways you can have a romantic date night with your partner from the comfort of your own home!
Game Night
If you’re not afraid of a little friendly competition, host a game night with your partner. You could even make it into a double date by video chatting with some of your close couple friends. Whether you’re breaking out a triple word score in Scrabble or buying up all the properties in Monopoly, you can choose games you loved as kids for an added nostalgia factor. Tired of board games? Try having a lego building or puzzle competition, first to finish won’t have to cook dinner!

Wine or Beer Tasting

Maybe your typical date night consists of visiting a local brewery or winery for a late-night drink? If so, you can still keep up your date night ritual by bringing the crafted drinks to your home. Order a few bottles of your favorite beer or wine, maybe throw in a few brands you’ve never tried before, for contact-free delivery and have a tasting in your kitchen. Who knows you might discover your new favorite wine or beer to add to your reception bar!
Music Under The Stars
There’s nothing quite like a night under the stars listening to some of your favorite music. With a lot of musical artists hosting at-home concerts on their social media, you can put on one of their live streams for a concert feel. Set up a blanket and pillows in your yard and put together a snack bar. If you’d rather listen to some of your favorite tracks, curate a playlist for the night or play some music yourself if you happen to play an instrument.

Even before COVID-19, there was a delivery service for just about anything and that includes date night. Subscription services like DateBox Club and Crated With Love deliver date night essentials right to your door. Monthly plans offer a different themed box every month, so for those couples who aren’t big on planning, this is a perfect solution to your at-home boredom and gives you something fun to do with your partner.
Take A Virtual Vacation
With honeymoon plans on the backburner and being confined to your home for the past month, you might be itching to go somewhere. While leaving your house isn’t an option, you can take a virtual vacation with your partner. Tons of resorts and amusement parks offer virtual tours of their properties, so you can feel like you’re on the beach in the Bahamas or riding Space Mountain at Disneyland. For added fun, you can cook a location-appropriate meal or dress up like you’re headed out for a day trip.

You can finally go through the entire Harry Potter series like you’ve been planning to do for years or rewatch one of your all-time favorite TV shows with your partner. Throw in some butter popcorn and a few candy options, you can make it feel like you’re in a theater right from the comfort of your couch!
