26 Oct 10 Things To Do With Your Partner During Quarantine
- Create your wedding playlist
Weddings are personal; your wedding is going to need its very own soundtrack, so sit down and put together a list of your favorite songs. Choose a solid mix of slow dances and pump up jams that span eras, so there’s something for everyone on your wedding playlist (talk to us for our exclusive wedding playlist checklist)
- Host a virtual party
Speaking of event planning, why not host a virtual party. Stay connected with friends and family by organizing regular get-togethers on Zoom, Google Hangout, FaceTime or Houseparty. From virtual dinner parties to vacation slideshows to virtual game night, you can even host a bridal party meet-up online, there are plenty of virtual party ideas to socialize during self-isolation. #ApartNotAlone
- Iron out the details of your wedding
There are probably one or two wedding tasks you’ve been putting off because they don’t seem as fun as the others. Maybe it’s coming up with a wedding “plan B” or finalizing your guest list? Or maybe it’s deciding between which linens you’ll decorate your tables with? Whatever they may be, take those jobs that you’ve put on the back burner and check them off your to-do list!
- Plan a photo album
With the advent of cameras on mobile phones, we are always clicking away and storing memories but when was the last time you organized the thousands of photos on your phone? Comb through your favorites together and start compiling them into an album. Print them later and put them in a real-life hard-cover photo album! You can also make a slideshow to eventually play at your wedding reception.
- Dress up for a date night in
Go through each other’s closets and pick out your favourite fancy outfits. Maybe it’s that dress you wore to your cousin’s wedding or that blazer that would have cost a fortune if it weren’t for that crazy sale. You don’t need to go anywhere to be seen looking your best, so get dolled up, take some photos, and have fun dressing up. #datenight
- Learn to dance
You want your first spin around the dancefloor (and everyone after that) at your wedding to be all sorts of magical, so why not take this time to learn to dance? YouTube has plenty of helpful tutorials that can help you master just about every move from the comfort of your own home. If by the end of it you still have two left feet, at least you had fun trying it all out!
- Party for two anyone?
Who says you need a crowd to have a party? Bring out your favorite party playlist (better to sample your wedding party playlist now), bring out the drinks and finger food, blast it out and give the term home club a whole new meaning!
- Work out together
You might not be able to go to your usual fitness class, but if you’ve got some tunes and a yoga mat, you can work out together straight from home! Need a little extra inspiration? A few simple searches on YouTube or Instagram can help get the ball rolling. Take this down-time to do some extra stretching too, especially if you’re working from home or used to a more active lifestyle and the quarantine is really making you slow it down.
- Make a home video
Remember all those goofy things you two used to do together? Well we have time for them now, and you can add a home video to that list now. Whether you’re documenting day three of your “staycation,” or acting out an elaborate script of ‘a day in the life’ – get the camera rolling! If nothing else, it’s something to do, and something I’m sure your future-selves will enjoy (or cringe at) later! #Memories
- Cook together
Take stock of all the weird stuff in your cupboards and find a recipe to help incorporate the ingredients you wouldn’t normally use. Now is the time to experiment with slow-cooking, baking, and enjoy the feast you’ve jointly created.
