1. Wine And Painting Night
Roaming the halls looking at art not really your thing? Become your own Picasso then! There are tons of galleries that offer “Couples Nights” activities where you can BYO-wine and paint (just make sure you color within the lines, okay?). Or DIY in your home … just make sure you put newspaper on the floor. It’s a new take on the traditional date night, but perfect for those nights when Mother Nature puts your plans on hold.
2. Game Night
On your way home from work, pick up a bottle or two of champagne and get ready to get competitive! Challenge your partner to an all out war to see just who beats who when it comes to your favorite games. Apples to Apples? Taboo? Keep the bubbly flowing — you’ll have fun! Promise. For a little added adventure, invite friends over too and make it a couples date night. The more, the merrier, especially when it comes to games that involve partners and teams.
3. Pasta-At-Home Night
On those gross summer nights when the rain is still warm, there’s no fun in leaving the comfort of the couch. Amirite or amirite? So instead of venturing out, bring the exquisite menu to your own table. Plan a festive meal from start to finish and prepare it — together. Added bonus? There’ll be no surprises on the bill.
4. Movie Night
When the weather is beautiful out, how many people actually want to go sit in a cold theater for two hours? No, you’d rather be at the beach. But on those rainy days, take advantage of what’s playing. If you’re feeling naughty, leave work earlier to catch a matinee.
5. Bowling Night
Question: Who actually goes bowling anymore? Answer: You do. While it might not seem like your immediate go-to rainy day date plan, planning a bowling outing is a good way to do something different and still have fun together. Challenge your partner to a match (best out of three, anybody?) and winner picks up the bill. Order a round of wings and some beers and you won’t even miss the sunshine.
