    Snazzy Saturday date ideas

    Have you ever wanted to go on a fun date but didn’t want to conform to society’s ideal basic date? Watching movies, going to dinner, and bowling have traditionally been the best date ideas. But these have been overused to the point they’ve become boring, so we created a few perfect date ideas that are sure to impress.

    Chick-fil-a mixed up ordering.
    We made this key to help mix up your food orders, to try new things, and look at menus in a new light. This can be done at any restaurant but this is a pre-made key specifically for Chick-fil-a.

    Murals
    Make a list with addresses (of local murals) and invite a fun group of friends to participate. Set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Once the timer starts, try to go to as many murals as possible and take funny pictures by them. You must meet up at the starting point once time is up. Each mural is one point. The team/person with the most points wins. Reward yourself with a nearby treat it you want and compare pictures.

    Needed items:

    • Cameras/phones
    • Car(s)
    • Timer

    Balloon Animal Class ft. youtube
    Order Balloon kit ahead from amazon. Pack or pick up a picnic lunch. Go to pre-planned picnic area like a nearby park. Attempt to teach your date how to make balloon animals while learning yourself from a youtube video (unless of course you practiced before or happen to be a pro balloon animal maker). This can be done with just one couple or several. You can eat before, during, or after the class. Just do what feels right in the moment.

    Needed items:

    Mocktails
    With a group of 4+, choose from a list of mocktails to make and taste test. Once you’ve decided what to make, gather the necessary ingredients. If possible, have every person create a different drink at the same time so you can taste them all at once. If you’re unable to do so, you can just try them one by one. To make it a little more interesting, play games as if you’re drunk (use distortion goggles and play pictionary or play jenga after spinning around 10 times blindfolded).

    Needed items:

    • Chosen drinks from a website (like this one)
    • Ingredients (vary based on chosen drinks)
    • Cute cups and straws
    • Supplies for games
    • Drawing pads, pens, and pencils
    • Vision distortion glasses/goggles
    • Jenga
    • Blindfold
    • Pin the something

     

    Dates do not need to be super complex or basic in order to have fun. These are just a few date ideas if you want something that is unique and is a guarantee for a good time. The beauty of these dates is that you can choose to add or cut out any part(s) you desire. You can even do them all in the same day for a super date. The choice is yours. Hope you can party it up with your date!
