From organizing a group scavenger hunt to making a night of it with dance lessons and festive cocktails, this year it’s all about sharing the love.
“Hosting a group outing instead of a single date night takes some of the stress off the individual people,” says Stephany Alexander, author and relationship and dating expert. Although it’s a group event, that doesn’t mean there can’t also be room for a little individual romance. “You can pre-assign seating arrangements at a dinner or choose teams for the games to create a sense of closeness for two people without isolating the rest of the group,” Alexander advises.
Spending this holiday with loved ones and friends can be a great way to grow budding friendships while being with your significant other. A few creative date ideas for the group include:
Taking dance lessons either at home from a private instructor or in a studio.
Huddling up for some dinner theater—melodramas are a great way to interact with the performers and each other during the show.
Gathering the group for a game night in with pink cocktails, charades, and jazzy music.
Just because it’s date night doesn’t mean the kiddos can’t have a good time, too. Alexander suggests creating a special theater room for the kids with treats, popcorn, and even homemade movie tickets to the “show.” This safe night in with a local sitter translates into a carefree night out for the Valentine’s Day group.
