Date Night Ideas

{Let's Go on a Date - Shannon Brown}

It's too easy to get into a date night rut. Mainly the rut of not having one. But a little effort goes a long way in this weekly (monthly?) routine. Sometimes all it takes is eating dinner at the table together with a lit candle and calling it "date night." Here's some of my favorite sources for date night ideas to add a little creativity to the evening.

{Date Night Ideas - Love Actually}

Love Actually is a blog of "creative ideas for romance on a budget," including dates for staying in and some dates with free printables.

{100+ Date Night Ideas - The Nest}

The Nest has 100s of ideas for dating, plus more on love and sex. The ideas are sometimes a little vague, but that's just the point: an idea to help spur your own creativity. And because of the sketchiness of Googling anything related to sex, their sex life tips are worth a look -- no shady graphic images to be found.

{The Dating Divas}

The Dating Divas is a blog all about dates and "strengthening marriages one date at a time." Lots of real life dates that people have actually done and, of course, can be personalized or turned in to whatever you want. They also have a special section for date nights at home.

{Year of Pre-Planned Dates - Shannon Brown}

This woman (Shannon Brown) gave her husband a year of pre-planned dates for Christmas. Let's Go on a Date is her collection of blogs posted after their dates.

{30 Ideas for a Date Night at Home - The Mom Crowd}

The Mom Crowd has 30 Ideas for a Date Night at Home. They're short and sweet and are a great starting point for some potentially great at-home dates. (And I thought it funny that the girl who wrote it also has a husband named Daniel.)

Hope that helps get the creative juices flowing! And, of course, I'd love to hear your date night ideas and get inspired by all your creativity.
