20 At-Home Date Night Ideas

Let’s face it, Date Night looks a lot different when you have a newborn, or 2 under 2, or just a house full of little people! But when sleep is a thing and you know your children will fall asleep independently within 10 minutes every night, you can enjoy an in-home date night (or get a babysitter and go out) any time!

Whether you’re looking for at-home Valentine’s Day ideas or you’re looking to stay in and enjoy quality time as a couple, these ideas are a great way to just stop and have fun with your partner any night of the year.

We love hearing stories of Little Z’s families who complete our sleep courses and then have time in the evenings together! It’s seriously the best win!!

If you’re wondering which program is right for you so we can get your whole family happy, healthy and well-rested, take our free quiz here and start to plan your next date night before the month is over.

To help you get creative and not just flip on Netflix, we put together some romantic date night IN ideas you can try!

We asked our Little Z’s Families for some of their favorite ideas and I LOVE what they came up with! Which one is your favorite?
