With Valentine’s Day only one month away, now is the perfect time to start thinking about how you want to celebrate with your spouse.

You don’t have to have a lot of money to have a memorable date night.

Here are a few ideas to get you started…

Top 10 Stay-at-Home Date Night Ideas:

1. Living Room Picnic.

Put a blanket on the floor of your living room and enjoy a picnic together. Finish the night off by watching a sunset together.

2. Cook-off Challenge. 

Each of you choose a new recipe you would love to try. Then cook for each other and see whose dish tastes the best.

3. Virtual Vacation. 

No money? No vacation time? No big deal. Have fun planning your dream vacation. Who knows? Maybe someday you’ll be able to actually go!

4. Movie Marathon.

Pull out some of your favorite movies, and enjoy a night of movies from the comfort of your own home.

5. Game Night.

Scrabble anyone? Or Monopoly or Yahtzee? If you’re married and want to add a little spice to the night, you might want to pull out Twister 🙂

6. Dinner by candlelight. 

Bring the romance to your dinner table by eating by candlelight.

7. DIY Photo Booth.

Make your very own photo booth and then take turns posing for the camera with silly glasses, hats, etc.

8. Relive the Magic.

Watch your wedding video or look through photo albums from your wedding, dating years, or honeymoon.

9. DIY Fun.

Pull up one of those DIY home projects on Pinterest and tackle it together. Or give a room in your home a new coat of paint.

10. Get lost in discussion. 

Take a look at my post last week and dig in to some of the discussion starters. See what new things you can learn about your spouse.

Let’s talk: what are some of your favorite stay-at-home date night ideas?
