Celebrate National Couples Day With Fetch

National Couples Day is just what it sounds like: a chance for you to celebrate your partner and your relationship. You don’t need a reason to celebrate the joy and love in your relationship, but it’s nice to have an excuse. And when you want to celebrate National Couples Day, Fetch makes it easy. 

Read on to learn when National Couples Day is as well as some ideas we have for how you can celebrate it using the Fetch app.

When is National Couples Day?

National Couples Day is August 18th, this year and every year. In 2024, National Couples Day falls on a Sunday, so if you’re planning a late night out, you might want to do it a day or two before.

Is today National Couples Day?

Probably not! National Couples Day is just one day a year, after all. Let’s check the date to be sure. Open your calendar app. Is it August 18th? If you said yes, then today is National Couples Day. If not, find August 18th and set yourself a reminder!

10 fun ways to celebrate National Couples Day using Fetch

There’s no wrong way to celebrate National Couples Day, but it can be hard to come up with date ideas sometimes. Don’t worry, we’ve got ten National Couples Day date ideas for you and your partner to get you started.

1. Couples day picnic

Part of the fun of a picnic is in the planning, so you might not want to spring this one on your partner. Talk over what to bring on your picnic and pick a place to lay down your picnic blanket. When it comes to picnics, it’s often the more the merrier; see if you have any friends who might want to make your National Couples Day picnic a double or triple date.

2. Golf games

Whether you love to hit the links regularly or need to borrow a set of clubs, golf can be a fun, leisurely way to spend an afternoon or evening with your partner. You can celebrate National Couples Day with a gift card to Go Play Golf (to cover green fees at a course) or Topgolf to compete on the driving range, have drinks and play games. 

3. Concert celebration

With a gift card to StubHub, you can get a pair of tickets to a concert in your area. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough for a favorite band to be playing on or around National Couples Day, but if not, make the tickets a gift you give your partner on the holiday (or celebrate ahead of August 18th).

4. Movie marathon

Movie lovers, this one’s for you. With Fandango at Home, you can bring the latest movies right into your living room, cueing up a few favorites without ever needing to leave your home. Want the theater experience? You can get free movie tickets from Fandango, too. You’ll also find AMC, Regal and Atom gift cards available in the Fetch app.

5. Gaming night

Couples that game together stay together, and if the idea of a game night sounds like the perfect way to celebrate National Couples Day, we have you covered. Trade in your points for a GameStop gift card to go pick something out in-person with your partner or reward yourself with a gift card to the PlayStation, Nintendo or Xbox digital stores. 

Are you a few points shy of a gift card? Remember that Fetch Play rewards you for playing mobile games, so you can play games to earn gift cards to play games!

6. Coffee date

The coffee date might be a great first date, but it can be more than that. Celebrate National Couples Day by taking your partner for coffee at the cafe where you first met, or make plans to start the holiday off right with coffee and a pastry. Just trade your points in toward a free Starbucks, Caribou Coffee or Dunkin gift card and your date’s on us.

7. Book binge

There are few things more romantic for book lovers than to go on a date where you pick out a book for your partner. Trade in your points for a Barnes & Noble gift card from Fetch, and you can combine the book binge with a coffee date, too. Want to splurge and go with hardbacks for both of you? Check our available offers and start using Fetch Shop to earn more points!

8. Spa day

Plan a couple’s spa day to rest, relax and get rejuvenated with your partner. Trade in your points toward a Groupon gift card, then find the best deals on your local salons. Pamper yourselves with a massage, manicure, pedicure, facial and more. While it’s fun to do a spa day together, it’s also a great gift to give your partner if you know they need a break from the day-to-day.

9. DIY project

National Couples Day is to celebrate you and your partner together, and what better way to do that than for the two of you to make something? With free gift cards for Joann, IKEA, Home Depot and Lowe’s, Fetch gives you plenty of options to make the idea of your relationship into something physical and real, from crafting to personalizing to building from scratch.

10. Dining out

Dinner is a classic date for a reason, and we’re confident you can find a free gift card in the Fetch app to a restaurant you and your partner will love. If you’re looking to go local, trade those points in toward a Groupon or Visa gift card to dine at your favorite little bistro or restaurant.

Find your National Couples Day gift card in the Fetch App

Open up the Fetch app, scroll through the available rewards, and find the right gift card for you and your partner. We’ve started you off with some ideas, but your imagination’s the limit. After all, if you have a National Couples Day idea with no gift card, you can always trade those points for a Visa cash card.
