52 Dates to Do This Year
Looking to make date night happen every week? We’re making it easy for you with 52 dates to do this year listed by each month with an idea perfect for each week of the year. Weekly date night ideas just got a whole lot easier!
Weekly Date Night
I’ve had several friends set the goal to go on 50 dates with their husband this year, and I couldn’t be more pleased to see this hashtag trending! There’s nothing like a weekly date night!
I think like all goals many start out strong and then lose a little steam and creativity as the year progresses. I want to help anyone setting this goal or looking to get a few more dates in their life by outlining 52 date ideas to do this year- one for each week broken down by month. We’re making weekly date night more doable!
I tried to make sure there’s at least one free one each month and most have at least one you can do at home if the babysitting conundrum plagues you like it can us.
HAPPY WEEKLY DATE NIGHT FRIENDS!
