What do I need to know before organising a home date night?

The point of home dates is for you to relax and engage in activities to keep the romance alive. We’d recommend to enjoy it to the fullest, and give yourself a pass if there are imperfections. Additionally, music, such as classic love songs, can be a good catalyst, so make sure to equip yourself with a good speaker.
