Stay At Home Date Ideas for Couples
These are super fun budget-friendly date night ideas so you can have some fun with your partner in the comfort of your home.
There are some awesome game night ideas too.
#1.Have A Movie Night
I love watching movies and so does my partner, so ill always start a list like this with movie nights. LOL.
It’s also the easiest and most common date night idea that any couple can have without planning.
Pick a movie that you would both enjoy, and this is the best time to explore and watch any movie you love and not necessarily a family-friendly movie because of your kids.
You could also rent a movie on Netflix or Prime Video. They both have great options.
I particularly love prime video because it is included in my prime membership and has many amazing movie options.
Netflix also never disappoints when it comes to entertaining tv shows and great movies, and that you can binge-watch.
So go ahead, Netflix and chill with your partner.?
Grab a snack and have a fun movie night.

Decide on a new recipe, and have some fun with it .
We sometimes make our own pizza for our date night, and it’s usually so much fun; we experiment with different pizza toppings each time, making the process more interesting.
You could also try making your own pizza, garnish it with all your favorite toppings and sit down to a movie and pizza afterward. Two activities in one date. Entertaining.

Make a playlist of your favorite tunes and have a fun dance party with your partner.
I love dancing so this is one of my favorite stay at home date idea.
Just try not to have the music up too loud as we won’t want the kids to wake up and end the party.
You could also try learning a new dance routine. This will definitely make it a whole lot interesting and fun.

Game nights with friends are usually fun. But you can also have game nights as a couple
Set out some snacks, open up a bottle of wine, and have fun with some games.
There are various games to pick from, ranging from classic board games like Scrabble, monopoly & chess, to card games like blackjack and speed.
Here are a few fun games for couples you could check out
#8.Exercise Together
Yes, yeah, I know I said date night and relaxation ?, but exercising is a great way to spend some time together and bond with your significant other.
Besides working out together is more fun than working out alone.
Exercise also boosts endorphins, so you would both end up with some happy juices in your system, and in a much better mood while getting fit and healthy.
#9. Put A Puzzle Together
Puzzles are engaging and also boost brainpower. Doing a puzzle is also an awesome game night idea you could incorporate.
So grab a puzzle and put it together with your partner.
This will be a fun and interesting way to get quality time with your significant other.
#10.Mix Your Own Drinks
This is an exciting stay at home date idea for couples; and you may come up with your own mix, completely new and different, lol, you just never know.
Play bartender and make a budget-friendly cocktail mix with your partner, there are many recipes on youtube that you could try and add a little twist, and you just never know what you come up with.
Afterward, you could both settle down and enjoy your cocktails together, how fun.
I think I just decided on what we’ll be doing for our next date night. Stay tuned for my new delicious cocktail mix, just in case I come up with something extraordinary, hahaha.
#11.Spend Sometime Catching Up Over Drinks
It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life and kids activities that weeks could go by without just talking or catching up with your partner on anything outside kids.
So take out time, pour some wine, and just catch up. Ask questions, plan for the future, catch up on thoughts and dreams, just talk.
Make it even more interesting and grab a pack of my favorite conversation starters for couples, catch up, and learn new things about your partner.
Get Wine easily delivered to you
