Planning & Preparation
The first step in any successful picnic is planning and preparation. Start by deciding on a location; a park or beach are both great options. Once you’ve chosen your spot, it’s time to make a list of all the supplies you will need such as blankets, chairs, sunscreen, food, drinks, plates/utensils, etc. If you’re short on time, there are many companies that offer picnic packages complete with all the items you need.
Food & Drinks
When it comes to food and drinks for your picnic, keep it simple! Finger foods like sandwiches, wraps, fruits and vegetables are always crowd pleasers. For drinks opt for water or other non-alcoholic beverages like juice or tea. You can also make individual snack bags with items like chips, crackers and candy which are easy for everyone to grab without having to wait in line at the buffet table.
Activities & Games
Picnics don’t just have to be about eating! To really enjoy your day out make sure to also plan some fun activities and games for everyone in the family. Ideas include bringing along an outdoor game like frisbee or bocce ball; playing tag; flying kites; nature scavenger hunts; or setting up a slip 'n slide on the grass (just be sure not to damage any plants!).
