Remember when you were a kid and building a blanket fort was the coolest thing ever? Well, guess what – it's still cool, especially when you're doing it with your significant other for a fun and romantic date night. But why stop at just building a blanket fort? Why not add some extra fun to the mix by indulging in all the foods you weren't allowed to eat as a kid? Here's how to make it happen:
Step 1: Build Your Fort
Gather all the blankets and pillows you can find and start building your fort. You can make it as big or as small as you want, but make sure it's sturdy enough to hold up against any potential fort-destroying shenanigans.
Step 2: Create a Snack Spread
Now it's time to stock up on all the goodies you weren't allowed to eat as a kid – think junk food, sugary cereals, candy, and anything else that would make your parents cringe. Arrange all your snacks in a fun and creative way, making sure to leave plenty of space for all the snuggling you're about to do.
Step 3: Get Cozy
Crawl into your fort with your sweetie and get cozy under the blankets. Now's the time to indulge in all those forbidden treats, whether it's spoonfuls of frosting straight from the jar or a giant bowl of Froot Loops with chocolate milk.
Step 4: Movie Time
No blanket fort date night is complete without a good movie. Choose something fun and lighthearted that will keep the mood playful and romantic.
Step 5: Build a Cocktail
To really take things up a notch, try creating a fun cocktail with some of your favorite childhood snacks. Crush up some Pop Rocks and rim your glass with them, or blend up a milkshake with all your favorite candy mixed in.
Step 6: Play Games
After the movie, it's time to keep the fun going with some games. Choose something easy and playful, like Truth or Dare or a game of Jenga.
Step 7: Sweet Dreams
As the night comes to an end, crawl under the blankets and snuggle up close. Maybe even read a bedtime story or two to each other before drifting off to sleep.
Building a blanket fort and indulging in all your childhood favorites may seem like a silly idea, but it's a surefire way to inject some fun and whimsy into your date night routine. So go ahead and let your inner child run wild – you might be surprised at just how much fun you have.
