Do you and your spouse spend time alone together? We all know that it’s important for our relationships but finding the time to get a sitter, pay a sitter and then pay for a night out, isn’t something we can do very often.
Why not have a date night at home? Wait until after your little ones have gone to bed and have a romantic night at home together.
Create a Special Meal
What is your husbands favorite meal? Make it or a version of it for supper! We love pizza, so when we had a date night at home, I made a delicious Margherita Pizza! This was something my kids wouldn’t normally eat but we love!
Set The Mood
Create a romantic table setting for two. Use your “fancy” plates or china, cloth napkins and lots of candles! Make it feel like you are at a nice restaurant!
Have Fun
I created a “Date Night” jar with lots of fun ideas with things we could do together on our date nights at home. Be sure to pick out of the jar and give yourself plenty of time to prepare, see my list of ideas below!

How to Create a Date Night At Home Jar
Find an empty jar or container of some sort and add a simple label on the front. Next, find popsicle sticks, colored markers and Washi tape.
Add one date night idea to each stick and a small amount of Washi Tape to the top of the stick! Very easy!

I love this. I might have to make one. What are red box movies?
Kelley says
Red box is a movie rental system that you can go and pick up. They have boxes all over, at gas stations, walgreens, etc. They are pretty awesome!
Nikki says
I love this idea. I’m so busy with work & life. I dont have little ones {yet} but i cant imagine how parents feel. Ive noticed it takes a little effort to keep things together & I love this idea.
Kelley says
Thanks Nikki! Chrissy put together some great ideas!
Michelle says
I try to go out for date night once a month but its often rescheduled – as it is tonight we are going to visit our friends new born bub instead. So date night at home is often the easiest option. You have some great ideas there, I love cooking together with a few glasses of wine followed by a back rub – my ultimate date night in!
Kelley says
That does sound great! I havent cook with my honey in a loooong time. May be due for a date night in. 🙂
