We asked the talented Cassia, from Cassia Leigh Designs, to design these date night kits for us and she just blew us away! Wait until you see what she’s created for you!
Country Cover Page
Italy Date Night Cover
Each of our “Around the World” Dates comes with a fun Country Cover Page. Our Italy Date Night Cover offers a whimsical take on your Italian evening adventure. Just glue it to the front of a manila envelope and stick all of your Italy Date Night Printables inside. It’s a great way to keep everything together until you’re ready for your big date.
Invitation
Italian Dinner Menu Invitation
Let your spouse know that a special date night awaits with this Italian Dinner Invitation. Slip our beautiful Italian menu inside your invitation. The menu pairs with the printable recipe cards for an authentic Italian dinner at home.
Recipe Cards
Famous Meatballs & Caprese Bruschetta
Anyone in the mood for pasta?! Who isn’t?! No Italy themed date would be complete without some Italian cuisine! Put on your aprons (cute iron-on graphic included) and get busy in the kitchen. Our Italy Themed Date Night includes fabulous recipes for Famous Meatballs and Bruschetta.
Activity
Italian Landmarks Game
How well do you know your historical landmarks? Geography class seems like forever ago! Use this cute map of Italy and add all 6 historic landmarks in the right locations.
Intimate Activity
Bedroom Dessert Basket
Your night of cooking is only getting started. Invite your sweetie to make dessert {gulp} with only your apron on! I believe this is a team event. Make sure you both have your aprons ready. AND if you’ve got kiddos running around, grab some of your favorite treats and take dessert to your bedroom. Cooking lessons are about to begin! {Wink!}
BONUS Ideas Page
If you need MORE fabulous ideas for your Italy Date Night, we’ve even included a BONUS page full of fun, Italy-themed movies and activities for you to try. Yep, we’ve thought of everything!
Thinking of buying this as a gift (previously done with the Indian theme and I purchased the henna tattoo stuff… what other games/ideas are in the suggestions as thinking of doing a pasta hamper to go with but don’t fancy buying the stuff for the desert basket)
This one is so fun! Making your own pasta or pesto would be fun! Maybe digitally visit a museum? Paint by number Mona Lisa on Amazon could be fun and unique!
Hi! I bought the year package of these dates. For this date, is there a specified recipe or idea for dessert? I know the dessert basket is a big part of this date. I just wasn’t sure what to put inside
Hi Abby! We recommend making cannolis for dessert to go with the printable gift tag. You could fill the dessert basket with the ingredients and an apron. Here’s a quick and easy recipe: https://bakerbynature.com/5-ingredient-cannolis/ Or here are some other Italian dessert options: https://www.foodnetwork.com/topics/italian-dessert Hope that helps. 🙂
There is a typo on this printable. One the bonus page under the movie list it says “Irish Themed Activites” and then lists Italian themed ideas. Not a big deal to use for myself but I don’t want to give this as a gift to my spouse with a typo.
Jennifer, Thank you so much for pointing that out to us. We want you to be able to give this fun date idea as a gift. We’ve fixed the mistake and a new file has been emailed to you. XOXO
looks like a lot of fun!
Thank you, Keelie! Italian food – what’s not to like?!
