A Kansas City Date Night to Celebrate Your Engagement
What better way to toast your love than by catching a Kansas City Monarchs Game? The Monarchs, rich in history and tradition, offer an exciting experience perfect for an unforgettable date night. Plus, it’s a chance to show off your team pride while you’re engaged!
How to Have the Best Date at a Monarchs Game
- Plan Ahead and Grab Gourmet Stadium Eats
Start your date night by arriving early for a stadium dinner. The Monarchs offer a variety of delicious snacks, from BBQ to loaded nachos that scream KC spirit. Grab a refreshing beverage, find your seats, and enjoy the atmosphere together.
- Take in the Game Atmosphere
Cheer for the Monarchs as one unit, and soak up the festive energy of the fans around you. It’s not just a game; it’s an experience. Bonus tip? Snap a “kiss cam” photo for a fun keepsake!
- Wrap Up with Fireworks
Check if the Monarchs game day schedule includes a fireworks show at the end. What could be more romantic than fireworks hand-in-hand with your favorite person?
Parking Tips for a Stress-Free Experience
We know parking can sometimes dampen the fun, so here’s a heads-up to make it seamless. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to snag a good spot. If available, pre-purchase your parking pass online to save time at the gate.
Upcoming Games to Plan Your Date Night
The Monarchs are bringing the heat with their upcoming games! Check their schedule for game times and ticket availability. It’s always a good idea to grab your tickets early for the best seating options.
Incorporating Kansas City Monarchs into Your Wedding Theme
If you and your partner are Monarchs enthusiasts, why not carry that love into your wedding? Here’s how you can combine “I do” with celebrating your favorite team.
1. Tailored Decor with Sports Flair
Instead of the standard wedding color palette, consider using the Monarchs’ team colors for your decor. Think navy and red table runners, sporty-themed centerpieces, or a cake adorned with Monarchs-inspired designs.
2. Custom Jerseys for the Wedding Party
Replace traditional robes or T-shirts by gifting your bridesmaids and groomsmen custom KC Monarchs jerseys with their names on the back. These make for great photos (and even better mementos).
3. Unique Entertainment Ideas
Set up a fun mini-game station during cocktail hour complete with cornhole boards featuring the Monarchs’ logo. You’ll keep your guests entertained and stay on theme!
4. Themed Favors
From mini baseball bats with your wedding date engraved to Monarchs caps for guests, themed favors are a great way to tie it all together while creating keepsakes.
