Who says you have to go out to have a great night in? At Lariat, your home is more than just a place to live—it's a space designed for making memories. Whether you're new to the neighborhood or dreaming about building your perfect home in Liberty Hill, there's something special about spending intentional, quality time together in a space you love.
From cozy backyard evenings to cooking in your dream kitchen, these five at-home date night ideas prove that romance lives at home.
1. Backyard Charcuterie & Wine Under the Stars
Set the scene for an evening that feels like a mini-vacation—no reservations required. Grab your favorite bottle of wine, a rustic wooden board, and all the charcuterie fixings: artisan cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit, and some crusty bread. Head to your backyard or covered patio with comfy cushions, twinkle lights, and a playlist you both love.
Living at Lariat means spacious yards and scenic Texas skies, making your backyard the perfect backdrop for connection and conversation. Whether it's a Tuesday or the weekend, you'll feel worlds away from the hustle.
Bonus Tip: Add a small outdoor fire pit and bring some marshmallows for a sweet finish.
2. Movie Night With a Projector Twist
Forget the crowded theater and create a cozy, personal, and uniquely yours movie night. All you need is a portable projector, a blank wall or screen, and your favorite blanket pile. Set it up in the living room or take it outside for a backyard movie experience under the stars.
Pop some popcorn, pour a drink, and choose a movie that means something to you—your first date flick, a shared favorite, or something new. With no lines, interruptions, or pricey tickets, you'll never want to return to the cinema again.
Live at Lariat Tip: Our homes' open layouts and inviting outdoor spaces make movie night magic simple to set up—indoors or out.
3. Cook Together in Your Dream Kitchen
There's something so fun and intimate about preparing a meal together—and it doesn't have to be complicated. Choose a recipe you've both wanted to try, turn on some music, and turn your kitchen into your own cooking show.
Whether making handmade pasta or building a pizza with all the toppings, the real fun is the process (and maybe the wine that goes with it). And when you live in a modern, well-equipped kitchen—like the ones you'll find in Lariat homes—you'll look forward to every step.
Are you not a chef? No problem. Try a meal delivery kit, and let the ingredients and instructions be part of the adventure.
4. Game Night With a Competitive Twist
Ditch the screens and bring out the board games, cards, or trivia questions. Game night is an easy way to laugh, compete, and connect—especially when you add a fun twist like prizes for the winner (or silly dares for the loser).
Set up at the kitchen island, on the living room coffee table, or even outside on the patio with some mood lighting. You can make it as chill or elaborate as you like, and every game night feels different depending on the vibe you bring.
Want to switch it up? Have a themed night: casino-style with cards and cocktails or retro arcade with throwback snacks and video games.
5. Spa Night for Two
Who says self-care has to be solo? Transform your primary bathroom into a spa oasis with candles, essential oils, and relaxing music. A warm bubble bath, face masks, or a couple's massage kit can turn a quiet evening into a luxurious retreat.
The best part? You don't have to drive anywhere, make appointments, or even get out of your bathrobe. And with Lariat's spa-inspired bathroom designs and private retreats, your home practically sets the mood for you.
Extra Touch: End the night with tea, wine, or a light dessert in bed and enjoy each other's company—no phones allowed.
Make Home Your Favorite Place to Be
When you live in a community like Lariat, date night doesn't have to mean reservations, traffic, or babysitters. Your home is the destination—where everyday moments can turn into lasting memories.
Whether building your future together or settling into your forever home, Liberty Hill offers more than beautiful homes—it provides space to connect, unwind, and truly enjoy each other.
