Recently, I’ve seen the cutest posts going around on social media for alphabet date ideas.

The idea behind it is that you choose a letter and do things on your date that start with that letter. So, if we chose the letter H, we might go for a hike and eat hibachi afterwards. Or if we chose the letter B, we could go bowling or to a bookstore and maybe have brownies for dessert.

It’s a fun idea and might push couples to do things they wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. It would be especially helpful if you’re in a dating rut of the usual dinner and movie.

Here are some alphabet date ideas to inspire your next outing.

Heff and I haven’t been on proper dates in years. It’s hard as a military family to plan dates since we don’t have family nearby to babysit. (Not having a ‘village’ is one of the things they don’t tell you about being a military spouse.)

However, the girls are finally at an age where they don’t need constant supervision, so we might try out some of these alphabet date ideas soon. Or we could do alphabet dates together as a family.

I’ll report back here on how it goes!
