Romantic Date Ideas on a Budget by blogger Casey

Going on dates and spending time together is an important part in any stage of a relationship. Unfortunately, these elaborate dates can get a little too expensive. Luckily, there are many great dates for those who are on a tighter budget. Here are ten!

1. Find a carnival

Many larger cities and towns have carnivals that pop up throughout the year. Find a local one and have fun eating, listening to great music, and talking the night away.

2. Go Bowling

Have an old-fashioned bowling date and turn the night into a flirty competition!

3. Visit a Museum

While some museums have expensive ticket prices, many also have free or discounted days or time that you can take advantage of with your significant other.

4. Sit under the stars

There is nothing more romantic than spreading out a blanket on the ground and watching the stars together. Try to find your favorite constellations and don’t forget to make a wish!

5. Karaoke Night

Karaoke always is a guaranteed enjoyment, even when (especially when) you can’t sing in tune to save your life. Stick to duets for extra ~romantic~ fun!

6. Volunteer together

Bond while also making a difference in your community! Find a local charity, like a soup kitchen or pet shelter, and volunteer for the day.

7. Brewery or winery tour

Most of these tours are free, and you’ll leave with a bundle of new knowledge and hopefully a few free drinks!

8. Hit the wilderness trails

Get sweaty together with a hike through the woods. You’ll get a workout and have a fun date at the same time!

9. Go mini-golfing

Put your skills to the test on a putt putt course and see who can come closest to par.

10. Hit the beach

The sun + your significant other is an amazing combination. Do I really need to say anything more?

When it comes to fun date ideas, there are a ton of options to consider, even if you are on a tight budget. Get creative and explore all of your favorite places around town together or curl up and watch a movie on the couch. No matter what you choose to do, being with your significant other will make it amazing.
