After another long week of work, the weekend is finally upon us. Instead of resorting to your typical weekend routine of ordering takeout and watching movies with your significant other, why not plan a surprise date night right in your own backyard. If you already own a Dream Maker Spa, you’re already on your way to creating an unforgettable, romantic evening!

The most important part of planning a surprise date night is the preparation. Make sure to prepare all snacks such as a fruit and cheese tray or some chocolates ahead of time, or at least when your significant other isn’t snooping around the kitchen. To really add a wow factor, create a walkway using candles leading to the hot tub – we recommend flameless to ease the worry of starting a fire or having some blow out before the surprise even happens.

Another important part of preparation to consider is the invite. If your date is more of a planner and doesn’t like surprises, maybe leave a handwritten card with a new towel or bathing suit the night or morning prior to give them a taste of what’s to come.

Along with preparation comes execution. To make sure this date night is everything you imagined it to be, make sure to pull out all the stops! Tonight is the night to remember all of the little details, so create a playlist with their favorite music, set the hot tub LED lights accordingly, and have all their favorite drinks on standby.

Now that the perfect date night has been planned, all that is left is to let the jets ease away your stress while you reconnect with your significant other!  For the final touch, warm up some towels and have them waiting outside of the hot tub with slippers. Ohhh Lala!
