Date Night Jar Tips:

Do I really need popsicle sticks for this project?

Not necessarily! I liked using popsicle sticks for this project because they’re sturdier and can be placed back in the jar to be used over and over again.

Never Stop Dating Your Spouse

After being married for 10 years, I’ve learned the importance of constantly “dating” my husband. Date nights are important to me because it gives me and my husband one-on-one time and shows that we are prioritizing each other: despite how busy life can get.

How do you make a date night jar?

It’s really simple! Write down one date night idea on a popsicle stick and add it to a standard-sized mason jar. You don’t necessarily need the jar lid. However, if you have it and it fits on top even with the popsicle sticks inside the jar, then go ahead and close it so that you can easily store it (until your next planned date night!).
