Date Jar

How many times have you had a date night where you go back and forth with "What should we go do?" Well this will solve the problem. Make a date jar :-) You can color code them for different things. Here is what I did.

You need a mason jar, colored Popsicle sticks, a fine sharpie, cute ribbon.

I color code mine this way;
Green= Money needs to be spent (these are great to use on birthday's, anniversary, special holidays or just for fun)
Yellow= Doesn't take too much money and can be spontaneous dates
Blue= Stay at home dates with little to no money spent

You can decorate the jar anyway you want or keep it simple with a fun cupcake liner under the lid.

Here are some ideas to get you thinking on some for your date jar :-)

Something Every Couple needs

These are something every couple should get. Get them HERE My good friend Jackie used these on our car when we got married. It comes off really easy. She gave them to us after she used them on our car. My wonderful, romantic husband started writing me love notes on our bathroom mirror right after we got married. To this day we still write love notes back and forth on our mirror. It is so fun to wake up or go to bed with a note from my awesome husband. He has never repeated himself.  Even though you have to clean your mirror a lot you wont get sick of it. Try it, it is so much fun!!! It can be fun for kids too.
