Stay-in Date Ideas

Candlelit Indoors Picnic

Lay a large blanket out on your living room floor. With your stovetop pizza, fruit, chips, and some drinks, you can create a romantic picnic setting. If you have a fireplace, light it for added romance. Put on some soft music and use this time to nourish your relationship. Have the conversations that your busy lives don't allow time for.

Game Night

Whether you do this with another couple, or just the two of you, game nights are always a fun idea. While playing games, it is hard to get distracted by electronics or other gadgets. Use this to your advantage. Allow yourself to get competitive and tease each other as you play a favorite game. This will allow you to get back into the mentality of the beginning of your relationship.

Movie Night

As simple as this idea is, snuggling to a good movie is always a fun and romantic idea. Don't just turn on your favorite show. Choose a new movie that you both will enjoy, and break the daily routine by watching something different and really using the time to reconnect with a nice cuddle.

Whether you do all three or just one of these ideas, you can still save your Friday night with your significant other. If you don't have time to make the pizza yourself, consider ordering from a place like Greg's Pizza, then starting on the date while you wait for delivery.
