Aren’t these adorable? I LOVE the bright colors! It makes me so excited to start this! How to Set Up Your Own Monthly Couples Date Night Group: Great date ideas can be so easy! Each month, get together with a group of your favorite couples to pick when you’ll each host a date night. Each couple chooses a month (or two – depending on the number of couples in your group) and “hosts” a couples date night for the entire group to enjoy!
Pick Your Date Night Group of Couples First things first – you need to decide which of your lucky couple friends get to be in this amazing date night group! Seriously – they will LOVE you for doing this! We recommend you choose 6 OR 12 couples to join in the fun! You can invite the couples using the darling printable “monthly date night group” invitation that not only describes how the group will work, but it invites them to their FIRST couples date night, hosted by you, the organizer! Once you have your group invitations sent and your date night group set – you can use the group contact sheet to keep everyone organized!
Pick Your Months! At your first group date night, assign each couple a month or two! If you have 6 couples in your group, each pair will need to take on two months in the year (it could be fun if the wife chose one and the husband chose one!) If you have 12 couples, then each pair only takes on one date night in the year. Make sense? Use the Monthly calendar printable to chart out who will do each month and then fill out the assignment cards for reminders for the couples! HINT: One fun ideas would be to print the assignment cards on card stock and then place magnetic tape on the back to turn them into magnets! This way, couples can easily put them on their fridge at home so it won’t get lost! Finally, you can keep everyone organized by making date night folders using our printable folder cover and tab! It is the perfect way to keep all the papers together!
Pick Your Favorite Date Night Ideas After assigning each couple their month, now you can find out what TYPES of date nights the group is interested in doing! Part of the fun of couples date nights is trying new things, but it is always good to know general needs of the group. This is a great way to find out couple’s expectations for budgets for the date nights (willing to spend or needing to keep it on the cheaper side?), if you have to take into account babysitters, any dietary restrictions and just plain preferences of activities! We even included a questionnaire tally printable and summary sheet to make summarizing all the answers quick and easy! Game Time Date Night!
Now it is time for the FUN at your very first group date night! You have organized how will host when, the couples have taken the survey and now it is time to PLAY! We have a GREAT date night idea to get your group started! Many of your couples may not know each other, and this is the PERFECT way to break the ice! Included in the printable pack, is your very own “Getting to Know You Jenga Game” Jenga is a fun balancing game in which you pull out blocks from a stack and re-stack it up top. The goal: don’t knock the stack over! Now, the twist for OUR version:
Simply cut out the question cards and attach them to the Jenga pieces either with tape or you can get fancy and Modge Podge! The most important thing is that the paper be as close to the block as possible. Gather your new date night couples group together and play the game as usually only THIS time they must answer the question on the block they chose before re-stacking it! Get ready for some laughter and getting to know (maybe more than you want to know) about each couple in your new date night group!
