10 Low-Budget Date Night Ideas For You and Your Significant Other

When you think about what going on a date means, what do you think? You may assume that the fancier and more expensive it is, the better. However, date nights with your significant other are all about bonding. Sometimes, it doesn’t take a ton of money to ensure that you have a great night with your partner. That’s why I’ve put together a list of 10 solid date night ideas that won’t cost you a lot of money.

 

 

With weather permitting, it’s always a good idea to take advantage of the outdoors. Going to a nice park and setting up a romantic picnic area can be a very successful date. To cut costs even further, you can prepare the food yourself to bring to the picnic! To store snack related items, you might like this single-sided bag. This bag is food-safe and totally reusable!

 

 

Who says you can’t have a date in the comfort of your own home? If you’re looking to have a relaxing night at a low expense, you can simply order a movie to watch together. With a warm blanket and some snacks, you’ll be set up for the night!

 

 

Miniature golf is a timeless date idea that doesn’t cost much to do. Whether you’re a great golfer or not, you can share some quality time with the person you love.

 

 

If you and your significant other are active people who love the outdoors, I highly recommend going on a hike. Going hiking will give you both a chance to spend time together talking and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors! On a side note, we recommend doing this during the day to ensure extra safety. For motivation, check out our blog on the 5 reasons you should go take a hike.

 

 

A super fun idea to do for a double-date would be to host a game night. You can play board games like monopoly and clue, or card games like cards against humanity. No matter what you decide on, you’re in for a night filled with laughter and fun!

 

 

I mean, really, who doesn’t like ice cream? It’s never a bad idea to incorporate a sweet dessert into your date night plans. You can take it to go back to your house, eat in your car, or find a nice spot to go like the park or a water spot.

 

 

Museums can be very inexpensive. In fact, some museums allow free entries on certain days of the week. Needless to say, museums are filled with tons of cool items for both of you to observe and explore!

 

 

This is another classic date that never seems to get old. If you or your significant other aren’t great bowlers, that’s okay. You can always use a lane with bumpers to ensure that nothing lands in the gutter!

 

 

Preparing dinner for your significant other can sometimes be considered more romantic than going out to a restaurant. If you have no idea what to make, we have you covered. Check out this blog on how to make rice balls.

 

 

I know how nerve-wracking this one can be. Just remember, it’s not about how gifted of a singer you are. It’s really about having a good time and sharing fun moments together!
