Some other fun theme ideas: Mexican, Asian, Christmas, Kid’s theme, 1950’s (or any decade), etc, etc.
Have a romantic candle light dinner. It doesn’t matter if you are eating hot dogs and macaroni and cheese because anything eaten by candlelight is romantic.

Break a record! Find a record in Guinness Book of World Records and spend the night trying to break it. Try doing it together as a team or make it a competition and compete against each other to see who has the better record.
Write out the story of how you met and fell in love. Or better yet- video tape it! Your kids and future posterity will be so grateful and it is so fun to go back and read (or watch) years down the road. It’s amazing how much you will forget!
