July 27, 2021
Laying poolside, soaking up the rays, going on a family vacation and enjoying some much-needed relaxation and warm weather means that summer is officially upon us. Of course, there are probably a million ideas that you are dying to check off your bucket list over these next three months, either with your significant other, friends or family. Here are five fun, outdoor date-night ideas that you and your significant other can do this summer!
1. Outdoor movie night
Having an outdoor movie night with your significant other is a fun and easy way to do something different with minimal effort. To have a successful, magical movie night under the stars, you are going to want to get a plain white sheet, wire, clothespins, string lights, a projector and lots of pillows and blankets. First, hang the wire up by tying it in between two trees. Then, place the sheet over the wire, and secure it with clothespins so that the sheet does not blow away. Next, set the projector up. Hanging string lights is optional, but it adds to the overall vibe and makes it feel cozier. Lastly, get plenty of blankets and pillows, and of course, snacks. Now you are ready to enjoy the perfect movie night under the stars.
2. Sunset picnic
No matter where you live, you will always be able to find a romantic spot to have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Grab your partner and head to the beach, the park or any hidden gems that you know of. Pack a picnic basket with your favorite meal and both of your favorite snacks! Candles, blankets and pillows are a good idea to make it more romantic.
3. Wine tasting
Wine tasting is the perfect, fun, summer date-night idea for you and your significant other. Go on a weekend getaway to a vineyard or take a day trip to a winery near you. Make sure to go on a tour of the winery and taste the wine and the variety of different cheeses which they offer. Enjoy a day of luxury and relaxation with your partner on this great date-night idea.
4. Cooking class
A cooking class is the perfect, laid-back date-night idea. Search online for places near you that provide cooking classes. Depending on where you go, the classes should be relatively cheap. Spend the whole day learning how to cook a new meal with your partner, then on your next date night you can make this new dish together!
5. Bike ride
If you are on a budget, then this is the perfect date idea for you. Bring your own bikes or rent some if you do not own bikes. Go to a trail, the beach, the city or just around your neighborhood or local park. There are so many changes in scenery too. After your bike ride, grab some lunch or dinner to top off the perfect day.
