You must try to match your meal with your movie choice? Whether the two of you are staying at home or going out, it's a simple switch to take what you'd normally eat and turn it into a themed event.

Think about switching up your date time for a more relaxing - and potentially cheaper - dinner and a movie date idea. Many fancy restaurants offer lower-cost options for their lunchtime fare and matinees are usually a fraction of the nighttime cost for the exact same show.

If there is a drive-in theater near you, take advantage! This is also an excellent idea for single parents who can't find a babysitter or are more willing to include their kids on simple date night activities. With the kids in the front seat enjoying the show and the two of you cuddling in the back seat together, everyone can partake in an evening the entire family can enjoy.

Combining dinner and a movie into one single event, dinner theaters are a fun and unusual way to get to know each other better while enjoying some entertainment and a meal together.
