This past weekend I went to a few parks, and I was so insipred by all of the picnics I seen people having. As I've mentioned in the past. One of my gavorite places to have a picnic at is at our local rose gareden. However, We have so many amzing parks in my state as well that are by the water, and would be perfect to have a picnic at as well. Below, I'm sharing 6 Tips to have an Epic Picnic.
6 Tips To Have an Epic Picnic.
Schedule
I love going on picnics on a whim, however, if you truly love going on picnics why not schedule them into your life? It makes it so much easier if you go on a date with your spouse or have a picnic with your besties. Schedule the time to really have a well-thought-out expeiernece.
Plan
Why not plan for the ultimate experience, I know, a picnic doesn't have to be this in-depth. However, with everything going on. It's really nice to have something to plan, even if it's on a small scale. Planing can be as simple as what you're going to wear or if you're going to go with a theme.
Location
What I love about picnics is that you really could have them pretty much anywhere I have several places in my state that I love to visit however even having a picnic in your backyard really is fun as well. So as you’re looking for the perfect spot to have your picnic if you have a hard time finding a perfect location what about your backyard what about a local park what about a local flower a rose garden. Ask around, your friends and coworkers might have a place that they've enjoyed visiting.
Food
Food is one of the most important parts of any picnic however this doesn’t have to be a stressful situation. You can easily go to your local grocery store and pick up the items that you need prior to going to your picnic destinations. There are times where everything is homemade and there are also times where the Mr. and I will pick up a bottle of wine and our favorite Chinese food and go to our favorite destination and enjoy a meal. Don’t feel like you have to create the perfect meal and spend hours in the kitchen, decide on what you would love to have to eat, and then work around that.
Budget
What I love is that about our picnics is that we typically create a budget for them. This is something that you don’t necessarily have to do however we love finding creative ways to have budget-friendly date nights. It’s really amazing we surprise each other each time with how well we're able to stay under budget. Create a budget and a list of the items that you want and need in order to execute the perfect picnic for you and your and spouse or guest.
Essentials
Is also very important to have your essentials like your picnic basket blanket and of course items like hand sanitizer. Make sure that you have your essentials on hand and in a designated spot so if you do decide to go on a picnic on a whim, you know where everything is located at I typically will have a blanket in my trunk in the spring and summer months just in case we decide to go to a local park or beach and have a picnic.
Do you have any tips for planning the perfect picnic?
