Looking for something fun to do with your special someone? Restaurants, movie theaters, and all the popular hot spots are once again crowded so for your next date night, why not do something special in the comfort of your own home? Something like an evening in pajamas!  It’s intimate, cozy, and it might be the last chance you get to spend quality time together before the hustle and bustle of the upcoming holiday season takes over.

We’ve put together a few ideas to help you plan a romantic, fun, and memorable pajama date night you’re sure to enjoy!

Commit to staying in your pajamas. The fun of doing so will add a different element to your date night and pajamas are perfect for staying cozy on a cold night.  You can even find pajamas printed with hearts and warm colors, as well as messages that express your love for your partner to make it super romantic.

Make a blanket fort in the living room: What’s a night in pajamas without a cozy place to snuggle up? Take a step back in time and build a blanket fort in your living room. Use couch cushions, blankets, and sheets to build it and if you want to make the fort even more romantic, consider hanging some twinkle lights. In addition, you can add fun decorations such as heart-shaped balloons and banners.

Star gaze. Another great way to celebrate is to sit outside under the stars.  You can lie on the blankets, share some champagne, and reminisce. Or you could make it educational by using a constellation and planet finder app to identify what you’re viewing.

Play games. Playing games with your partner can add a romantic element to your date night. Some fun ideas include karaoke, name that tune, and commandeering the kids’ gaming system. Other ideas include board games like checkers and try making it make it more fun by replacing the pieces with chocolates and feeding them to each other.  You could really spice things up by adding romantic penalties to the games or having an old-fashioned pillow fight.

Make something sweet. Making homemade treats is a fun way to spend time creating something together and… it will make your house smell delicious. Remember, chocolate is an aphrodisiac!

Watch scary movies. Halloween is also upon us so why not get in the mood by getting comfy on the couch and watching scary movies? Horror films are perfect for hiding under the blankets and getting close to each other. We even have a list of recommended flicks!

Date night is for spending quality time together- just the 2 of you – so make it special and memorable.
