Thank you Decoy for sponsoring this post. Elevate your occasion with Decoy wines.
Truth be told Ben and I do not get out for a date night as often as we would like! Most of our dates are at home these days and I am not mad about it at all! We even consider our evenings together where we can put the kids down and catch up on our favorite shows a date night! Going out requires planning, baby sitters and a lot of money these days! A date night in is always a good idea! Today I wanted to share 5 at home date night ideas that are fun!
- Play cards together: We love 5 crowns and Quidler! Both are super easy but do require some thought! I play just to play. Ben is super competitive and plays to win! We always end up talking about the most random things during card games but it is a good time! Lot’s of laughs for sure!
- Try a new recipe and cook together: This poses a challenge for both of us! Ben doesn’t like to share the kitchen with anyone! It makes him literally crazy and I hate to cook! SO for us, this date night idea would force us to do something we aren’t that comfortable doing but would end up being a real good time.
- Go down memory lane: Bust out the wedding photos, dating pictures, wedding video, whatever you can find from the past and walk down memory lane! I love doing this! It is the craziest thing to look back on where we have been!
- Play “Would you rather…”: You guys, this is hilarious! You can learn so much about a person by asking these questions!! When we first got married we used to do this all the time and we always ended up on the floor dying of laughter!
- Wine & Cheese: Make a cheese board with fruit and whatever else you love and enjoy a nice glass of wine! We love reds! Ben and I just recently received a few bottles of Decoy Wines that are actually located right here in Sonoma County and crafted from one of the finest American wine producers. Literally the perfect blend and appropriate for any occasion! This wine is definitely for one with good taste! I love their slogan that says, “The everyday wine for the well informed.” Besides tasting divine, I love their price point!! You can snag a varietal of Decoy Wines here.
So what is your take on a date night in? Do you like them or prefer to go out?! Let me know your thoughts below and also if you have any other great date night ideas, please share! Thanks as always for stopping by the blog!

What a fun way to spend some quality time together! That wine sounds delish!
I love date nights in just because we’re not going to be rushed from a restaurant, or if the food is bad. I love cooking so being able to pair a delicious wine would be perfect! Your table looks so beautiful, The dark color is a great background.
oh my gosh how fun- love that wine too!
These are great ideas! I need to play “Would you Rather” with my hubby. That sounds like a lot of fun 🙂
These are such great ideas! Love this idea!!

My husband and I were just talking about how we should play cards or board games rather than watching TV every night! These are great suggestions!
I love that spread! Looks like a perfect date night. and i totally feel you, we have a toddler so “date nights” are usually at home after bedtime! thanks for these ideas.
So many great ideas for a date night, the wine looks tasty
So this is going to sound ridiculous, but we spent a date night in drinking wine, talking, and then asking ridiculous things of our amazon echo, haha. We spent almost an hour trying to see what we could get alexa to do, and I don’t remember laughing that hard in a long time!
Yall are adorable! So many great date ideas too! Thanks for sharing xo
Wine and cheese sound awesome for a date.. You cheese board looks so delicious.
This is so cute! I love having date nights at home! We definitely need to try this wine out too!
The name of this wine is super cute — love the duck on the bottle. And I’m digging your charcuterie platter as well.
Great ideas! you two are so cute spending time together!
My husband and I love date nights in. We play cards together and drink wine and/or beer. Will definitely be taking more of your ideas for our next date night in. P.S. y’all are too cute!

Don’t worry girl, I’m coming over…does your date night have room for one more??? I just need a cheese board and Cab Sav and I’m good to go! HA!
Wine and cheese!! A girl after my own heart. I love having date nights at home and being able to be comfortable while we spend some quality time together. Y’all are absolutely a-freakin-dorable, and I’m so jealous of that cheese plate.
My husband and I are the same, we love date nights in! Your tips and ideas are fantastic :-).

These are great ideas. I love the would you rather game. I’m sure that would make the night a riot with wine a fun wine and cheese plate.
I have a friend who’s dog is named Decoy and she gave us a bottle of decoy wine and we loved it. Great ideas!

I think a cheeseboard is a great idea for a night in! i haven’t made one in such a long time!
date night with wine and cheese would be so romantic. I love a good wine when I am trying to relax at the end of the day.
You two sounds so sweet and I think these are great ideas. I think I like the cook together thought the most.
At home date nights are the best, and pairing it with a good wine is key. I haven’t had this one yet but will check it out. thanks for the tip
Your pictures are beautiful and that wine sounds good! SUch a fun date night idea for at home during the week.
Aw this looks like a lovely evening!
Wow! It looks like you had a fantastic evening. I love this idea for a fun at home, weeknight date.
Wine and cheese and a good movie works for us. Especially during the winter when the weather is bad. we just like to stay by the fireplace and chill.
My fiance and i love doing date night at home and when we do, i always have a good bottle of wine.
Aww you guys are just adorable! I absolutely loved the cheese and wine platter. I definitely love the idea of trying a recipe together and then sitting down for a good movie or game.
I love a nice night in with wine and cheese. I must try Decoy 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

looks like such a fun night in! i haven’t tried decoy wine, but will look out for it!
I love trying new recipes to cook together. So fun!
Date night doesn’t always have to mean going out. You can have just as much fun at home with a little planning. I love the idea of cooking together or even doing an at home wine tasting.
This is so amazing! I’d love to spending the whole saturday with my lover with this wine.
I prefer home date night with hubby, especially during winter. That way I don’t have to brave the cold.
LOOKS AWESOME. SOMETIMES A STAY HOME DATE IS THE BEST WAY TO GO.

I travel all around the world for work, and it used to be really lonely. Now I can go onto Tinder and have a date lined up in a new city before I even get out of the airport!
