Fast Food Drive-Thru Date Night

There is nothing quicker than a fast-food drive-thru – especially for a quick and cheap date night! We know that between everything you’ve got going on (and everything you’d like to do in the future!), making time for date night can seem impossible. We ourselves have ended up doing a quick fast-food run more times than we’d like to count, but there always seems to be something missing. Well, not anymore! For all of you on-the-run folks out there, we’ve created a fast, free, and totally fun date night that takes drive-through dining to the next level. So get ready to grab a burger and a side of fries with your sweetie’s shake… [wink!]. Let’s check out the date!

This Progressive Drive Through Date looks SOOO fun!! Definitely makes fast food a whole lot better! #datingdivas #drivethroughdate #progressivedrivethrough

Drive Through Date Invite

No date idea is complete without an invite and your printable download includes the perfect one! Seriously, just imagine your sweetie’s face when they read the fun and flirty message. We GUARANTEE their faces will blush and their mouths will water. The best part of all, it requires next to no prep work for you! Simply print, cut, and fold!

Progressive Drive Through Date Invitation

The fast-food-themed invite is two-sided so everything remains nice and neat. Just fill in the date and time you want to take your drive through date and slip it somewhere your spouse is sure to find. On top of their steering wheel or dash would be PERFECT. After all, the name of the game is “drive through!”

Progressive Drive Through Date Cards & Planner

The “meat” of this date involves choosing a different fast food restaurant for each of the following items: Appetizer, Entree, Beverage, and Dessert. All you need to do is work with your sweetie to decide which restaurant you want for each item! For example, you might choose to get Arby’s Mozzarella Sticks for your Appetizer and Wendy’s Frostys for your Dessert. The options are endless! We’ve even included a special Intimacy Card for when you return home. Use that card to choose a favorite bedroom game or activity you’d like to do. It’s the perfect way to round out your date when you have a little more time to do so.

Once your choice cards are filled in and filled out, it’s time to map out your route! Decide what order you would like to get each food item. Feeling like having a little dessert first? Do it! Want to save the side for last? You can do that too! Simply place your cards on the planner in the order you prefer. P.S. You could totally adapt this date to become a killer group date! Simply throw out the Intimacy Choice Card and work with your fellow group date members to decide which restaurants you want to hit up. Drive together or in separate cars and eat up!

Simply affix the full page cover onto the front of a standard manila envelope, pack in the goodies, and voila! You’re ready to hit the road AND stay organized. How great is that?!

  1. Hi Elizabeth:

    I LOVE this fun and easy date idea. I have teenage boys and this would be great with them too. My thought is a minor change about on the invite. They would love going to different restaurants for different parts of the meal. My boys are 13 and almost 15. We let the kids date but we mama’s come along. This would be soooo much fun, We would end up an arcade in our area.

    1. Hi Suzzannah! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment! I bet your buys would love doing this 🙂 As far as the invite, the design is pretty much locked in place BUT we definitely want you to make this your own. So you might consider creating your own fabulous invite for your boys to use! Best of luck to you! xoxo
