If you’re like us, you love going on dates with your cutie pie but you’re tired of the same old date ideas and are wanting something new, something to spark adventure so you can have a really fun time! We have you covered, you’ll love this date jar!

How to Make a Date Jar:

You’ll need:

• Wide Mouth Mason Jar
• Strips of Colored Paper
• 175 Best Date Ideas — this book is packed with the best of the best when it comes to date ideas!

Make Your Date Jar:

1. Cut an even number of strips for each person, pinks for her, blues for him. We love using our paper trimmer for this.
2. Now grab all of your color and split your pile in half, making 2 stacks. On the first stack you are going to fill the strips with your favorite date ideas, writing one idea per strip. For the second stack you are going to fill the strips with ideas on what you think HE WILL LOVE. {Example: My first stack included: making dinner together, picnic in the park and game night. For my second stack I wrote ideas like: movie theater date, a drive around town listening to our favorite tunes, Redbox and pizza at home — things I know he loves!}
3. Optional: We also sometimes add yellow strips into our jar, using these for at home date ideas. That way nights we don’t have a babysitter for the kids, or we just want to do something after they go to bed we pick a yellow date idea out of the jar. On these we write things like: play cards, his movie choice, her movie choice, ice cream sunday date, etc.
4. When you start running out of ideas, grab our book —> 175 BEST DATE IDEAS.
5. Fold all the strips in half and stuff them in your jar. Take turns every other week {or however often you have date night} pulling ideas, alternate blue, pink, blue, pink. Whatever the date ideas says you have to do!
6. After the date tape the strip from the date you just went on into the smash book pages (at the back of the 175 Best Date Ideas book) and scribble a note with your favorite part of the night next to it. The pages look like this:
