Welcome to my blog where we’ll be talking all things picnic, specifically planning the perfect outdoor first date. Whether you’re a seasoned picnic pro or this is your first time planning a date like this, I’ve got some tips that will make it a night (or day) to remember.

Location, Location, Location 🗺️

When it comes to a romantic picnic, location is key. Finding the perfect spot can make or break your entire date. Look for a place that is beautiful, but also secluded enough that you won’t be bothered by crowds or noise. Some great options include a local park, a nearby lake or beach, or even a rooftop if you’re in the city.

Set the Mood 🕯️

Along with the perfect location, setting the mood is also super important. That’s where your picnic essentials come in. Bring a comfortable blanket or two (if it’s chilly, consider bringing a few extra for layering), some cute throw pillows, and even some battery-operated candles for ambiance. You can also bring along a portable speaker to play some romantic tunes.

Food & Drink 🍷🍇

When it comes to food for your picnic, it’s important to keep it simple. Opt for finger foods like cheeses, crackers, fresh fruit, and charcuteries. Don’t forget to bring along a bottle of something bubbly like champagne or a favorite sparkling wine. And of course, make sure to pack plenty of water to stay hydrated!

Spice it Up 🥂

If you’re looking to add a little something extra to your picnic, consider bringing along some fun games or activities. A deck of cards, a Frisbee, or even a kite can make for a fun and memorable date activity.

Don’t Forget the Essentials 🧴🧻

While this might not be the most romantic aspect of your date, it’s important to make sure you have all the essentials on hand. Bring along sunscreen, bug spray, and even a first aid kit just in case. It’s also a good idea to pack some wipes or hand sanitizer for easy clean up.
