Summer is here & it’s flying by quick! Here is a list of 10 fun Summer Date Ideas – which one will you do first?
Sweet, sweet summer time. Ah, I love Summer so much and all of the fun that comes along with it. There’s just something about this season and that warm sunshine that makes me feel happier and more motivated. I also get super excited because it’s the best time to go on fun dates. My husband and I love our date nights and always try to make them a priority. We both work a lot so we try to get a couple of dates in a month. Going on dates is so important to any relationship, but especially marriage! I am sure you’ve heard the advice, “Never stop dating your spouse”. Dates don’t have to be super expensive or extravagant either .. I mean the whole purpose of a date is to spend quality time together, right? So we try to go on less expensive dates because we are currently trying to save money to pay off our student loans. As a result of that, we sometimes we have to get creative with date night. I thought it would be fun to put together a little list of our favorite Summer date ideas. And the best part? All of these dates cost $10 or less! Whether you are trying to save up for something big or just like to have fun on the cheap I’ve got you covered!
10 SUMMER DATES FOR $10 OR LESS
1.) Ice Cream Date – Ice cream dates are the best and just scream summer. This is the date we go on the most because luckily we have a lot of really awesome locally own ice cream places where we live and it’s always less than $10. Any other chocolate chip mint fans out there?!
2.) Get Outside – Go on a sunset walk after dinner, a hike, or a bike ride! These are all super fun and free activities.
3.) Visit a Brewery – Taste test a flight of beers, listen to some music, and just hangout together!
4.) Farmer’s Market – This could be a free date if you go just to walk around holding hands, and look at everything! There is always so much to see at Farmer’s Markets and usually a lot of tasty free samples. If you do want to spend some money you can buy lunch from a food truck, like gyros (our personal favorite). Or you could also get creative and buy some fresh produce and go home and make a dish together.
5.) Happy Hour – We are all about happy hours! Find a restaurant that offers it and take advantage of those 1/2 priced apps and drinks.
6.) Movie Night – Most theaters have deal days where the two of you can watch a movie for $10. If you are a homebody and prefer to stay inside in your pajamas (I hear you) then order a movie from Redbox or find one on Netflix. Bonus: stop at the dollar store, load up on those movie box candies, and cuddle up.
7.) Couples Game Night – Invite some of your couple friends over and host a couples game night! Ask everyone to bring a snack and their favorite board game.
8.) Bonfire & S’mores – This is another one of our favorites. It’s fun and cheap at home date that’s also super relaxing.
9.) Picnic in the Park – Pack some of your favorite snacks, make some sandwiches, or grab takeout and eat at a local park. Don’t forget your picnic blanket, and basket! We have a super fun and cute basket that is totally worth the investment, click here to see it. It comes with everything you need for the perfect picnic.
10.) Mini Golf – Challenge each other to a round of mini golf. Get creative and make some friendly bets!
