Alphabet Dating: 350+ A to Z Date Ideas (With a Full Date Plan for Every Letter)

Stuck in the dinner-and-a-movie rut? It’s time to date your spouse… alphabetically! Alphabet dating is one of the easiest (and most fun!) ways to guarantee 26 creative date nights with your sweetheart — one for every letter, A to Z.

And here’s what makes this list different from every other alphabet dating list out there: every single idea below links to a complete, ready-to-go date night plan. So instead of just reading “bowling” and being left on your own, you can click straight through to the full date — and many of them come with free printables, invitations, games, and love notes to make planning ridiculously easy. Consider this your alphabet dating headquarters!

What Is Alphabet Dating?

Alphabet dating is a couples’ date night challenge where you work your way through the alphabet, planning one date for each letter — an “A” date, then a “B” date, all the way to “Z.” Each date’s activity, food, or theme starts with that letter. It’s a simple way to guarantee 26 creative, out-of-the-rut dates with your spouse.

How Does Alphabet Dating Work?

There are no official rules (that’s the beauty of it!), but here’s how most couples do it:

1. Take turns planning. One spouse plans the “A” date, the other plans “B,” and so on. Half the fun is seeing what your sweetheart comes up with!
2. Pick your pace. One date a week gets you through the alphabet in about six months; one date every two weeks makes it a full year of date nights.
3. Go in order… or don’t. Some couples go A to Z, others draw letters out of a jar. Dealer’s choice!
4. Keep the letter loose. The activity, the food, the location, or the theme can be your letter — if you can justify it, it counts.
