5 date night ideas for newlyweds

 

Back in the day I reckon my parents were lucky if they got out alone together once a year.And even at that is was probably to attend a school function.But now, the world over, date night is seen as a staple of any solid relationship.

Whether it’s a candlelit dinner, a night at the movies, or something a little more creative, couples are advised to step away from work stresses/ family life / the TV, for a night in order to make time for one another and reconnect.

Many of the guests get stumped, so you might end up with ten suggestions for bowling, and none at all for a moonlit picnic out the back garden (you can have that one for free!).

So whether you’re a guest in a tizzy, or a couple looking for ideas for date night to help you with your post-wedding slump, here’s some of ours to get you through the first few months of marriage.

 

1. Movie Night

We’re not just talking any old movie night, we’re talking, phones off, laptops away, blankets and pillows on the floor, sodas in the fridge, and an abundant supply of Maltesers and popcorn. Both of you each get to pick a flick and you have yourselves a cosy double bill.

2. Road Trip

So this one could work for a day date, a date night, or heck, even a date weekend. Get away from it all with your other half and just hit the road. It doesn’t matter where you go as long as the views are good, and the playlist is awesome.

3. Volunteer

Okay so this might not sound like the most romantic way to spend your time, but helping other people is a great way to bring two people together. Whether you’re playing with kids at camp, or prepping food in a shelter, share the love outside your relationship, and you’ll enhance the love within it.

4. Dinner Outside

My other half and I love doing this one – and we don’t have a garden, so it’s even more of an adventure! We’ll cook up our dinner, (or sometimes, if it’s the weekend, our breakfast), pop it into some wooden bowls, grab a blanket, and take a stroll up to our nearest park. It’s such a novelty, after a day at work, to flake out together with some food. And so much nicer than sitting at home after dinner with the telly on.

5. Climb a Skyscraper

Not everyone will live near a skyscraper, but look for the tallest building in your city, and race your partner to the top. Skip the lift, and see how long it takes you to make it up 40 flights of stairs. Getting to the top is even better when you’ve been put out of breath trying to get there. And is there anything more romantic than a roof with a view?

6. Play with Animals

Depending on where you live you might have access to a farm, a petting zoo, a city zoo – or maybe even a safari park. Spending a day among cute furry creatures and big scary beasts, is not just romantic, it’s a lot of fun too.
