Romantic Date Night On A Budget

Here are a few ideas you can consider and play around with whether you want something away from the usual or want to avoid the busyness of the day but still create good memories with your lover. These ideas can also be explored to promote intimacy and encourage bonding without special occasions.

A walk down memory lane 

Create a highlight of your journey and relive your favourite memories. Print out pictures and make notes on each image to describe those moments. As you walk through this memory, you will appreciate how far you have come together. You can accompany it with wine-sipping, or you can pass on this.

You can also choose to revisit your favourite location in person. This might require some funds but you can keep location strictly within where you reside and have an itinerary. This can also be made into a scrapbook.

Post it as you feel it
