FALL DATE NIGHT

AGENDA: Cuddles, Star gazing, Date Night Jar & yummy snacks

New month… means new date night. AND… with it being FALL… I am so ready for this date night! All the stunning colors, cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and lots and lots of cuddling. Sounds perfect right! Planning a date night for “Fall” can be so fun. With all the adventurous activities, spooky nights, and crisp air, the possibilities are endless. Below I have a list of additional “Fall Date Night Ideas”.

I’m going to be completely transparent with y’all. These date nights are exactly what I needed. They have honestly been such a blessing for my husband and I. We never used to go on dates. Not because we didn’t want to, we just value our time with our children and feel so guilty for dropping them off. So the fact that we can have these date nights at our house is amazing! To be honest my first thought is “why didn’t I think of this sooner?”

So when I thought about a “Fall Date Night” … I was thinking it had to be something outside that involved enjoying mother nature’s beauty. Theses Texas nights are finally cooling off and I wanted to enjoy it. So I thought it would be fun for an “Outdoor Date Night”. When it came to setting up for our “Fall Date Night”.. I wanted to make sure I incorporated those “Fall” touches. Meaning… cozy blankets & pillows, fall colors, pumpkins, and candles. Listed below are some of the items I used. Reminder… this doesn’t have to cost ANYTHING… this cost me a total of……$0!!!

SUPPLIES USED:

BASE LAYER- A blanket or rug to lay down as a base… I used a rug I got for cheap from dirt cheap for $10
THROW PILLOWS- Pillows to lay on. (pictured are these orange ones & my famous $2 Target pillows-not linkable)
THROW BLANKET- this is a must for cozy vibes… here is mine.
SET THE MOOD- Candles ( I feel like these instantly creates the mood) I usually find all mine from local thrift stores
PUMPKINS- As it is fall… I added a touch of pumpkins. Here are my pumpkins:
FLORALS- I just used my mums from my front porch. I picked up from a local nursery … but Lowes and Home Depot start selling them around the beginning of September.
FOOD- I just made a charcuterie board with our favorite snacks
BONUS- I created a Date Night Question Jar. I just did research with some random questions that I honestly didn’t know about my husband… and then I threw in some “kiss me”, “rub my back” in there too. I wrote them on a piece of paper and put them in a mason jar. This honestly crazy to be because as much as I “think” I know him… there is still so much I still don’t know about him.
