Try These Fun Date Night Ideas

Throw a soup taste test party for two: Order a selection of soups for a fun date night of savory at-home sampling. Is your partner a soup super fan? For a bit of extra fun, quiz them on their knowledge of soup ingredients and names with a blindfolded taste test challenge.

Snack together while you scrapbook your memories: Gather your favorite photos, old movie ticket stubs and hand-written notes to create a cute keepsake to look back on for years to come. While you’re scrapbooking, use those mess-free to-go containers from your date night meal delivery to help you clear space on the table for your work of art.

Re-visit your favorite retro games: Add some friendly competition to your date night with your favorite throwback video games or board games from when you were a kid. Savor the child-like freedom of not having to cook when you pair your games with a classic combination like Grilled Cheese and Creamy Tomato Soup. Just like old school video games, some date nights at home never go out of style.

Split an order of sweet treats: Create a dessert delivery order that will satisfy every sweet tooth. Choose a selection with a little something for both of you when you order online from our sweets menu of cookies, Bear Claws, brownies, and more.

Make a date night recipe together: Try making a Strawberry Poppyseed Salad for two for a fresh and wholesome date night meal (you can use this recipe.) Need some help with the main course? Order your favorite sandwiches for take out or delivery to pair with your salad creation.

Get caught up on what you’re watching: Have an easy date night dinner delivered while you cozy up to binge watch your favorite series or catch the movie you’ve been meaning to see. This stay-at-home date night is a simple and relaxing choice that never disappoints.

Make a lunch date: Who says a fun date has to be at night? If your schedules make evening dates difficult, a lunch date delivery can help you make time together at a time that works for you both.

Play a two-person card game: Whether you’re learning the rules together or playing a beloved game, card games are an easy way to add a bit of low-pressure competition to your at-home date night. Pro tip: raise the stakes by letting the winner choose the at-home meal delivery for the night!

Host your own paint night: Stream a painting tutorial online to create your next masterpiece (or disaster) together. Let the creativity flow into your meal with a unique You Pick Two®, and enjoy that personalized, easy date dinner delivered to your door.
