Inexpensive Date Ideas

I wanted to share what I found whenever I researched inexpensive date nights. I am always up for a good date night. Tyler and I usually spend way too much money when we do though. Here are some ideas that I found. I hope that you try some of these out.

1. Take a walk through a park holding hands and talking about the things you see.  Remember to swing on the swings.
2. Create a picnic in your den floor, if it's winter make it in front of the fireplace.  Turn off the TV, turn on some music, and light the candles
3. Watch a movie and have popcorn.  Turn off the lights and turn the volume up just like at the theaters.
4. Bake a cake, cookies, or brownies together.  Get messy and have fun.
5. Set up a treasure hunt.  Get in the car and let your sweetheart figure out your clues.  Visit some places you know he/she will like.
6. Take a bubble bath together and have conversation about your favorite childhood memories.
7. Place a blanket in the back yard one night, cuddle, and count your lucky stars and discuss whatever comes up.
8. Wake your spouse up before sunrise one morning and watch the sun come up over your favorite morning breakfast.
9. Take a walk on a nature trail.
10. Play games together…rummy, charades, puzzles, or a board game can last for hours.
11. Have a photo shoot of each other.  Change outfits a couple of times.
