Date Night In A Jar with 20 Date Night Ideas

Date night doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. In fact, you can enjoy some quality time with someone you love with these easy and inexpensive Date Night In A Jar Ideas. I know for us, it can be hard to even carve out time for a Date Night. Then when we do, sometimes we look at each other like, “who’s turn is it to pick a date night activity“? Then we go back and forth on what we are going to do during our date night. I think this idea of putting 20 date night ideas into a jar and just picking one is fun and exciting.

Supplies needed for your date night jar idea

  • Jar with lid
  • Red or pink spray paint (optional)
  • Ribbon or twine
  • Date Night in a Jar label (see below for free printable)

Directions:

  1. Begin by adding a pop of color to the lid of the jar. Apply two coats of spray paint, allowing coats to dry well in-between applications.
  2. While your paint dries, cut your scrapbook paper into small squares or strips. The size you make them depends on you, just be sure they are big enough to write the date night idea on.
  3. Fill out a date night idea on each scrap of paper. Fold it and place it in the jar. For some ideas, so the list of 20 Date Night Ideas below!
  4. Print off the free printable Date Night in a Jar tags. Cut out and string a piece of ribbon or twine through.

    Such a cute idea! This would be a great Valentine’s gift. I’ve never thought about the paint your own pottery place as a date night. It’s usually something I take the kids to do, but I love the idea of going alone with my hubby :).

    I love the idea of having pre-planned dates in a jar. That would definitely keep down the “you decide, no you decide!” days.
