Olympic Date

So the 2012 Summer Olympics just wrapped up.  I had wanted to do an olympic themed date, but we had other things going on, didn't have good olympic reception in our house, excuses, excuses, excuses.  But here are some ideas I had to bring an olympic theme to a date or a party.

Opening Ceremonies -- Since this is a celebration of all nations, you can make your dinner and date truly global.  Pick each dinner course from a different country.  Display random nicknacks you've picked up from your travels and wonder what you'll ever use them for.  Reuse decorations from previous dates to exotic places.  Get out pictures from countries you've visited or even just want to visit.  Invite friends over and have them bring a dish and something to share and tell from where they are from or a country they have visited.  One thing about the opening ceremonies is that no one is competing yet, so you'll have less trash talking than if your favorite country is competing against someone else's favorite country.

If you want to focus on just one or two countries, pick a longer team event with a country you can get excited about.  Plan dinner and other activities around that country, and then cheer them on.  Or you and your date can pick different countries with a friendly wager about who will win.

Where ever you are traveling to, don't forget your passport.  The Dating Divas had a recent creative craft contest won by the Passport to Love.  Along with the passport come many creative date ideas with an international twist.
