Coming up with new date ideas can be difficult, especially if you’ve fallen prey to constantly going out for dinner and a movie. While that idea is a classic for a reason, it can definitely come off as being basic, to say the least (or boring, to say the most), which is the last impression you want to make on a date! Try to spice up your date repertoire with more unconventional ideas that will make your experience more unique and memorable for both of you. Here is a list of our top fun date night ideas:
1. Pinspiration
Craft the night away at Pinspiration Phoenix with this creative date idea! Choose a craft from a list of fun DIY projects such as string art, canvas painting, home decor, and wood crafts. Pinspiration’s Drinks and Bites menu has a variety of options to keep your both your creative juices and conversation flowing as you work. Some specialty beverages include a Cupcake-Prosecco and a “Red Velvet” red wine.
If working in the Main Art Studio isn’t intimate enough for you, channel your inner Jackson Pollack with a Splatter Date. Cozy up in a private splatter room including chocolates, champagne, and a cheese tray. After a quick bite to eat, it’s time to gear up! Change into head-to-toe protective gear such as goggles, hair caps, booties, and coveralls, and get to painting. Fling and splatter paint onto two canvases to create your own unique masterpieces. Plus, you will both have a take-home reminder of the fun you two had together. You can book online here.
