New Year’s Eve Ideas for a Romantic and Affordable Date

There are wonderful and inexpensive ways to spend time with your date on New Year’s Eve. To start with, you could spend a quiet night at home.

Arrange for a scrumptious dinner and cocktails and arrange the decor (maybe light some candles). You will be away from the crowds and you can get some perfect time together.

Potlucks are fun! You can have your closest friends come over. Arrange for food and drinks and, voila, you are set for New Year’s Eve.

If you are the couple who likes to dress to impress and head out for a night of dancing together, then try and find a local getaway where you can get dolled up, enjoy some drinks, and dance your heart away.

And for the romantic souls, here are some romantic ideas: Head to a cabin in the woods, or maybe enjoy a boat ride under the moonlight and fireworks in the sky.

You may, alternately, plan a romantic ice-skating stint, and glide into the new year. Remember to plan ahead so that you make your New Year’s Eve memorable. Also, if you like,  capture some of your moments on InstaStory as a memento.
