Car Date Ideas Basket Label

To prep for this date, you really don’t have much to do – the printables from the insanely talented Diva Elizabeth really provide you with just about everything you need to create your own date night car basket. For example, you just print out the planner and pick a few locations to guide you through the night. After that, cut a few of the cards out using a fantastic paper cutter like this one – you’re all set. {Oh, and you might want to get gas in the car, too.} If you really want to extend the night, you can start off by leading him to the car with our Scavenger Hunt. Next, pop everything into a basket and include some sweet snacks. After that, slap on the license plate basket label. How fun is that?!

Car Date Ideas & Planner

First stop on date night for us? Always food. Check out the options on your checklist for some ideas to grab grub without leaving the cozy comfort of your car. Personally, I LOVE how many of my favorite restaurants do curb-side pick up for food, so you could just call in an order for your favorite meals! After dinner, it’s time to pick a place to go for fun – don’t worry, you can totally choose more than one! Start heading in the direction of a park to watch the sunset, an airport observation area or a drive-in movie theater. Don’t have a drive-in nearby? No problem, just hop on over to our Blast from the Past Date and get some car date ideas for how to create your own.

Vehicle Activities

Vehicle Activities & Challenges

Stay busy in the car with 10 fun games and ideas to keep you chatting on your way to your next destination! We’ve included fun ideas from our Road Trip Date and Conversation Starters. PLUS we’ve even added 10 NEW ideas for driving around town on your Cozy Car Date! Pay close attention to the Love Buggy and Red Light Kisses cards – those two are for fun throughout your entire date. Additionally, we’ve included a few blank cards so you can come up with your own activities!

Vehicle Challenges

**HINT** one of the WHITE cards (specifically the Conversation Starters) may require a little extra prep on your part. For instance, you’ll need to visit www.thedatingdivas.com. Meanwhile, you might even want to grab a few other supplies from the Divas’ Road Trip in a Box to help you out with adding more of these car date ideas! However, if you want to make this date easier, you CAN skip these cards and still have tons of fun (take turns spicing up how to cuddle in a car, for example). On the other hand, I have to say these are some of my favorite car games! Here’s what you might need from that Road Trip in a Box set:

  • Road Trip Questionnaire
  • Truth or Dare
  • Trivia
  • Bingo

Dessert & Cardate Card

After all that driving, playing, and destination visiting, the two of you deserve a sweet snack! In other words, it’s dessert time! The easiest place for us to get sweets late at night is fast food joints which always have yumm-o milkshakes. However, if you’re lucky enough to have a late night donut shop – take advantage of that. Finish your car date with a dessert to share – or get your own, no judgments here! In addition, now is the PERFECT time to give your spouse the Drive Me Wild card. Write a sweet message inside beforehand for ultimate romance. Additionally, you could choose to use this card as an invite for the date. Just print out the card like normal. After that, write the date and time inside, get thinking of some fun car date ideas and you’re ready to roll!

I'm a friendly gal who's obsessed with all things marriage and Hubby-related :). When I'm not having adventures with my sweetheart and baby boy, you can find me in photographer mode, deep in a Netflix binge, or crafting! I also enjoy treasure hunting (aka. thrifting), dark chocolate, and eating as much sushi as possible.
