To get you inspired, we’ve gathered our top 15 fabulous fall date night ideas for couples… Pick your favorite ones and head out (or stay in) for a fun date with your sweetie!

1. Pumpkin Patch Date – Pick the perfect pumpkins at the pumpkin patch together. It’s a fun and inexpensive date with a gorgeous setting!

2. Carve Pumpkins – After you pick your pumpkins, head home to carve them right away to continue the date or plan another time to carve your pumpkin(s) together. You can pick your favorite pattern online, print it and try to recreate it. Have a friendly contest and even put a sexy wager on it like betting a kiss or massage. Then, get friends and family to judge your final creations.

 4. Go for a Hayride – Cozy up together on the back of a hayride together and take in the beautiful sights of the season.
