Foods and Drinks to Bring

There is no such thing as bringing the wrong food to a picnic, but there are certain foods that are better suited for eating outside. Here are some suggestions for the most delicious picnic foods:

Foods

• Sandwiches

Sandwiches are easy to make, so you can bring sandwiches for a picnic, such as cucumber sandwiches, baguettes, crostinis with cream cheese and salmon, and your preferred filling.

• Sweet treats

Cookies, chocolate, pastries from a cafe, candy.

• Light bites

Sliced vegetables and a range of dips, like hummus, cheese and crackers, and fresh summer fruit (strawberries, grapes, cherries & raspberries).

Drinks

• Something sparkling

Champagne is an excellent picnic beverage option, but it is not the only one. You might also want to bring some orange juice so that you and your date can enjoy some fresh mimosas.

• Add-ons for a drink

If you want to make a special date, bring some nice fruits to use as garnishes for whatever it is that you're drinking. Consider blackberries, cherries, strawberries, and raspberries.

• Water

If you're going out on a hot day, be sure to have lots of water with you.

Lighting

Date to have a late-night picnic on the beach and look at the stars? Certainly! But you'll get along much better if you can see each other. So, don't forget to bring some lighting equipment.

Bluetooth Speaker

A nice combination to a picnic date is some background music to fill in the silences. Spotify has a lot of great playlists to look through, or you can spend a night with your partner making a playlist. You should make sure that when you're on the date, you don't bother other people who are there. The volume must be set to an appropriate level!

Portable Power Station

Unfortunately, the perfect time for a picnic date is also prime time for mosquitoes, ants, and flies. Even though it's not the most romantic thing to bring on a picnic, bug spray is a must.

Picnic Table with Umbrella

Picnic tables with umbrellas are a good complement to any outdoor setting. They provide people the chance to bask in the sun, eat good food, and have a fun conversation.

FAQ about Picnic Date

Is a Picnic a Good First Date Idea?

A picnic date is an awesome idea for a casual first date, but give it a careful plan before you really start. To prevent any awkwardness on a first date, it is a good idea to not only bring your own food and drink but also prepare something for fun like a card game, or a smart speaker for music.

What Do I Need for a Romantic Picnic?

To ensure that your picnic is as romantic as possible, there are certain items you will want to bring along:

Start off with a soft and cozy blanket to create an inviting spot for two. If you'd like, pack some sweet-smelling flowers in a vase to set the mood for romance.

Bring plenty of tasty treats and something sparkling like lemon-lime sparkling water or Champagne if it's appropriate for the setting.

Lastly, be sure to bring your portable power station to play music or lighten a lamp to make a completely romantic atmosphere.

Do's and Don'ts for Picnic?

Do's: Check the forecast before you go out, and bring a picnic basket set and a cooler, a Bluetooth speaker, games, a ball, or a book.

Don'ts: don't bring too many heavy things, don't overpack, don't throw trash around, don't bring food that might spoil in the heat, and don't be frightened to have a picnic by yourself.

FAQ

Is a picnic too much for a first date?

A picnic can be a great first date idea if both are comfortable with the setting. It offers a relaxed, intimate atmosphere for conversation, but if you prefer something less personal, like coffee or drinks, a picnic date may feel like a bit much. Communicate beforehand to ensure both of you are on the same page.

What to wear on a picnic date?

For a picnic date, opt for comfortable and casual clothing according to your setting. A light dress or jeans and a nice top work well for women, while men can wear chinos or shorts with a casual shirt or T-shirt. Choose comfortable shoes like sneakers or sandals, and bring layers such as a light jacket or cardigan in case the weather changes.
