How To Have Date Nights While Wedding Planning

We all know that planning a wedding is an in-depth process. You can’t do it alone. That's why some people do it for a living. Whether planning this wedding is a one-person job or two, it's important to have moments where you and your partner slow down and take it all in. Finding time to have date nights is hard when everything revolves around that big day. That is why in today's blog post we are focusing on just that. Keep reading for some ideas on date nights during this season.

To start, we want to address the unrealistic expectations you might have. Dates night during this season doesn’t have to be extravagant or expensive. The point is to make time to have that quality time. There are many ways to do that while still planning your wedding. There are options depending on your situation. If you as the bride are the main planner while your partner works then some great ideas will include wedding planning date ideas. If you are both planning the wedding and would much rather take a break, then some lowkey weekend dates can be your best fit. Regardless of your situation, we have some ideas that can cater to any couple in any circumstance. The goal is to connect with each other and not lose intimacy in the midst of stress. It can be very easy to get so caught up in the stress of this day that you become distant from one another. That is completely normal but we want to make sure that you don’t find yourself there. But if you do, we want to help you get out. 

Wedding Planning Dates

If wedding planning is the only time you have together, then take advantage of it. Food testing trials are great moments to turn into dates. Take a Saturday or an evening during the week to turn this wedding planning moment into a date. Get all dressed up, try out some good food and get some pics for the gram or just yourself. Quality time is going to make this the most memorable season. You just have to be intentional. And we didn’t forget about the cake tasting. That’s another great event to turn into a date. You, your boo and some cake. 

Staycation Dates

Once again, we don’t expect you to have extravagant dates. You don’t have to spend more money then you already are! Some fun ways to spend time together are through staycation/local dates. Movie nights, cooking nights, beach days, afternoon picnics, Harry Potter marathon, at-home brunch dates, etc. The possibilities of dates are endless. You just gotta get creative! Pick a tv series or movies series binge it on a free night. If you’re a foodie, then find a recipe you can make together for a dinner date. If you got a major sweet tooth though, find a yummy dessert and get baking! If you’re a little more outdoorsy, then pack a basket with your favorite foods and have a picnic at the park. If you’re near a beach, then go get your tan on before walking down the aisle. Beach dates are a great way to spend time and relax. But don’t forget your sunscreen because red skin down the aisle is not cute. These are just some of our ideas. Feel free to make it your own and have fun with it!

Wellness Dates

For the more active couple, we recommend working out together. Block off an hour or two a week do some couples workouts. This is a great way to spend time but also release stress. Physical activity during a stressful season is good for any individual because of the stress that it releases. Stress creates tension and knots in the muscles so a good workout will really release all that good stuff. Another good wellness alternative is a couple of massge. This will definitely release all stress while also creating an opportunity for intimacy as a couple. So whether you’re going to the gym, workout class, at-home workout, or getting a massage just remember to be in tune with your body. Throughout stressful times we tend to neglect ourselves in the area of our bodies. Becoming aware of it together as a couple not only creates optimal time to spend together but also keeps you accountable. 

There you have it. Some of our ideas for your date nights. Wedding season is said to be completely stressful. And it very well can be. But you gotta make the best of it. It is very easy for a couple to create distance during this time because of the laundry list of things to do. But the most important thing is to be intentional with each other. Make the most of the smallest moments. A relationship is built on that. And during the wedding planning season, you’re going to want to hold on to that. Until next time. Happy bridaling!
