Uncover Together

Three questions to ask your date whether it’s the first time out or the hundredth!

1) What book or movie character do you most identify with, and why?

2) What's something you're really proud of, but don't get to talk about often?

3) What tradition from your childhood would you love to pass on?

🧺 Picnic Under the Stars: A DIY Date Night Delight

Imagine a date night where the warm glow of sunset meets the cool evening breeze, set against the backdrop of Greenville's lush parks. Now, add a sprinkle of culinary adventure with a DIY potluck picnic, and you've got a recipe for a memorable evening.

Crafting Your Potluck Picnic

The essence of a potluck is variety and surprise, making each dish a shared discovery. For a romantic twist, each person can prepare and bring dishes that mean something special to them or their relationship. Perhaps it's a dish from your first date, or a recipe that's been in your family for generations. The goal is to share a piece of your story through food.

Choosing the Perfect Greenville Park

Greenville boasts numerous parks that provide the perfect setting for your potluck picnic date night. Whether it's Falls Park on the Reedy, the intimate nooks of Cleveland Park, or the serene surroundings of Conestee Park, choose a spot that resonates with your idea of romance. Remember to check park hours and any regulations regarding food and picnicking.

*Bonus! If you don’t want to do it as a sunset picnic, try going mid day to Glassy Mountain and take a short hike and have your feast there!

Setting the Scene

Comfort is Key: Bring blankets or low chairs to relax on, and consider a small table or flat surface to lay out your feast.

Light it Up: As the evening draws in, string lights, lanterns, or candles (battery-operated for safety) can add a magical glow to your setup.

Music to Set the Mood: A portable speaker with a playlist of songs that are meaningful to you both can enhance the atmosphere.

Making it Special

Surprise Element: Each person could prepare a surprise dish or dessert, adding an element of mystery and anticipation to the evening.

Games and Activities: Bring along a deck of cards, board games, or even plan a stargazing activity to enjoy together after dining.

A Toast to Togetherness

Don't forget to raise a toast to your shared efforts, the beautiful setting, and the connection you're celebrating. Whether it's with a bottle of wine, sparkling water, or homemade lemonade, this moment encapsulates the essence of your DIY potluck picnic date night.

As the stars begin to twinkle above, why not take some time to reminisce about past adventures, and perhaps dream up some new ones together.
