Romantic Indoor Picnic for Two

Having a romantic date does not mean that we have to pay for a sitter, and have an expensive dinner at a 5 star restaurant. At home dates can be just as romantic. With a little bit of preparation you can have a romantic date after you put the kids to bed.

Decorate your living room, spare room, or wherever you have enough space for a picnic. You can decorate with twinkle lights, candles, blankets and pillows. Anything you think can help make the space more romantic. Add some flowers if you choose.

 Put together a cheese plate. Use a wooden cutting board to arrange your picnic food. To do this you need to some meat like prosciutto, summer sausage or even pepperoni. Then add the cheese you can add Brie, Gouda, Mozzarella, Goat Cheese or even Cheddar. Add some fruit as well like grapes, strawberries, pears, dried cranberries and dried apricots. Next get some fancy bread and crackers. French bread works great. If you want you can add some jelly to your plate too.

A romantic evening is not complete without some kind of beverage. We love sparkling cider and juices. You can put the bottle in some ice so it will stay cold during your picnic. Get some long stemmed glasses out to make the night really special.

Having a fun activity can help stimulate conversation and bonding together. This activity is a new twist on a love letter. Get an old book from your collection or a thrift store, and a permanent marker. Pick a page and make a love letter in the book by crossing out the words you don’t want to use. You can then rip the page out and keep it or you can keep them all in the book.. If you want a romantic movie is also a great addition to this date.
