This is a great reminder my husband and I need to start doing! Life gets so crazy and you forget the time with each other and making it a little more than the normal day. Visiting via Turn It up Tuesdays =)

I had so much fun with this! I did the two dates a month (1 in / 1 out). I themed each month to what our dates would be wrapped around. For instance, one month was “Music”, I purchased concert tickets for our night out and since my hubby plays guitar, our night in was that he play his guitar for me (his choice). The other thing I added, was that since we both absolutely love music, I printed lyrics from songs on each envelope for him to read before opening on the first of each month.

In reply to Donna.

I don’t know about other people, but I making another set of a year of dates for my husband for this year because we enjoyed it. Honestly, I have felt that things like “coupon books” don’t usually do a whole lot for my husband, since the hubby has to remember to use them or where they are. But, both of us really want to get out and go on dates regularly. It’s a priority for us, and having them all planned out has made it much easier. We don’t always stick to the dates as outlined, or switch which months we do which dates, but having at least a semi-plan helps us at the start of each month to schedule them in. We went on way more dates when I gifted him this present than we did this last year when I did not. So, I’m making it again for this coming year. 🙂 Hope that helps!

Wow, Katelyn! You’ve really blessed us with so many creative and fun date ideas. This must have taken you a lot of time to come up with and compile. Thanks SO much for all the hard work, for linking up at Wedded Wed and for providing such a rich source of romance-building, my friend!
