A henna party is a great activity to engage in as a couple during Eid. What’s more, it’s a super romantic activity to engage in.
First, Henna has become an art in Muslim culture. It’s often used during celebrations such as marriages and Eid. It’s believed to bring good luck for couples ahead of their marriage.
So, as a couple, you can host this activity and invite your friends. The men can take time decorating the hands and feet of their wives, as they’re not allowed to use henna for decoration except for medicinal purposes.
Hosting a henna party is a great way to enjoy the eve of Eid.
In addition, you can also look for temporary tattoos that can give off the same flashy design as henna if you don’t want the mess that comes with using real henna. You can check out these beautiful henna designs.
Exchange Cards and Gifts
“Exchanging cards and gifts” is another beautiful Eid activity to engage in as a couple.
As a couple, one of the romantic things you can do together is exchanging cards and gifts. It offers a means to express your love for each other.
You can make your own cards and write your messages yourself. It could be prayers, encouraging words, or love messages for your lover.
The beauty of handwritten messages is that they express your thoughts and feelings for your partner better, and your partner will appreciate it a lot.
However, you can get beautiful cards with beautiful words from the store if you can’t craft yours.
On the other hand, when exchanging gifts you can think about the things your partner has always wanted and get them for them. The exchange of gifts can be done with friends or alone during Eid proper.
Starting early to make these plans will help a lot.
Cook Together
Another beautiful thing you can do together as a couple during Eid is cooking together.
Cooking is one of the fun Eid activities people don’t pass on. First, Eid is a big celebration often consisting of feasting, whether it’s Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha.
After prayers, feasting follows, usually with friends and families.
So, what’s stopping you from cooking together as a couple? As a man, it’s not the time to leave the cooking for your wife.
You can join her in the kitchen and have a romantic and beautiful moment together. Cooking together on occasions like Eid deepens the bond and love you share.
Moreover, it’s usually a national holiday or you can take an excuse to celebrate it if it isn’t a holiday in your state. So, you should seize the opportunity to spend quality time with your spouse.
Do Some Crafting
“Crafting” is another fun way to engage each other as a couple during Eid.
It’s a romantic and creative activity to keep yourself busy during the celebration.
You can fix this activity for the eve of the celebration, where you can make a lot of things to use for the D-Day.
You can even start as early as two weeks or a week before the day, so you have a lot of things to try your hands on, including a “count down” calendar.
In addition, there are a lot of things to craft together, from table mats, egg cartons, cards, and tea towels to several more. Crafting is a really fantastic way to enjoy yourself during Eid.
Visit an Islamic Site
Have you always talked about visiting an Islamic site together? Eid is the perfect time to take that trip you’ve always talked about.
First, visiting sites like these are a great form of education. You’ve got a lot to learn about your fate; from understanding Islam’s history to learning more about how that site came to be.
Also, it’s a form of spiritual exercise. You can go to holy grounds and historical sites for camping and prayers.
What’s more, having these trips together as a couple is a beautiful way to bond and have fun.
So, check out local places in your vicinity or you can travel if you have the means.
Plan a Romantic Dinner
Going for a romantic dinner as a couple is another beautiful way to enjoy your Eid holiday.
Of course, you might’ve cooked in your house and even entertained friends, but it cannot be compared to the ambiance of having a special dinner together as a couple.
You can decide to have dinner in your home. All you need to do is just set up a romantic atmosphere; your table, candlelight, music in the background, and the food.
You can also choose a beautiful place to have your dinner outside your home. All you need to achieve this setup are two people in love.
Go See Some Movies
One beautiful thing about Eid is that it provides an opportunity to spend quality time together with your lover.
Some countries where Islam is a majority or a good number get national holidays. But, if you’re in a place where you don’t get holidays, you can talk to your employer about granting you one.
So, Eid is the perfect time to see a movie together with your partner. You might have always wanted to watch a movie together but because time hasn’t been on your side, you couldn’t. So then, Eid is that time.
Additionally, there are interesting Islamic movies you can enjoy together, ones that talk about the season or one that teaches more about your faith.
Some examples include Kingdom of Heaven, Rasheed and Rahab, Ali’s Wedding, The Message, Jerusalem, etc.
Have a Game Night
You can also play games with your lover to enjoy the thrill of Eid. Whether it’s Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha, there are lots of games you can enjoy together as a couple.
Some Eid-themed games to try include:
Pin the Moon on the Minaret
“Pin the Moon on the Minaret” is a game you can try with friends and families. It’s an interesting game that goes well with the season.
All it takes is for players to be blindfolded and move around multiple times.
Pass the Parcel
Pass the Parcel is another fun game to try as a couple and with friends. It’s a game that fosters the art of giving, which is part of what Eid is all about.
The parcel could be anything, a hug, prayers, or a present.

Play Islamic Quizzes
Another thing you’ll enjoy doing together as a couple during Eid is playing Islamic quizzes.
Eid is the perfect time to task your brain, test your knowledge about your faith, and have the best of fun.
It’s not only fun but educative. You’ll have a lot to learn with this one. Also, you can make it more interesting and more competitive by including a price or a task to be performed.
Maybe the winner gets to win some cash or some presents, or the loser gets to cook for the week or do the laundry.
Additionally, you can check the internet for questions you can ask or use the Quran or other Islamic books
Go on Road Trips
Road trips present a great opportunity to have fun with your lover, create memories, and learn new things.
And what perfect time to plan this trip than Eid?
If you don’t know what to do for Eid, and it’s already upon you, go for an impromptu road trip. It’s more fun that way. All you need is just a few items and a car.
However, if Eid isn’t quite close yet, then you can take your time and plan where you want to go and make reservations.
You can also make it a double date with another couple. Don’t sleep on this one.
Check out the Museum
The museum is another great place to visit as a couple during Eid.
It’s a great time to learn and have fun learning together as a couple.
There are Islamic museums you can visit, and if you don’t have any in your local vicinity, you can start early to check for in neighboring towns.
However, if that isn’t possible and you don’t want to travel far, you can check out national museums in your area. Most of these museums have where you can learn about Islam’s history.
Visit the Nearest Parks
The park is another place where you can enjoy your Eid holiday as a couple. Parks offer a natural and relaxing ambiance, where you can take a walk or sit and enjoy the silence with your partner, or recall special memories.
Also, if you want a busy and fun atmosphere, you can visit amusement parks where you can engage in lots of fun activities and meet other couples.
So, whatever kind of fun you’re looking for, you can get them at the park.
Go Shopping
Use the Eid holiday and go shopping and spend quality time with your partner.
You can seize the opportunity to get the things you need and have always wanted, whether it’s groceries, clothes, or accessories, this opportunity allows you and your partner to have a romantic time together.
Also, if you don’t need anything, you could just go around and look out for things you might like within your budget. You can also get things for the needy.
Go for a Hike or Have Bike Rides
You can also use the Eid holiday to go hiking with your partner or bike rides.
Hiking is a beautiful way to exercise and spend quality time together while enjoying nature. You can plan this trip alone as a couple or plan with fellow hikers.
