If you love the summer and spring months, then more often than not you are one of those people who just love to spend as much time outdoors with friends and family. And there is nothing better than having lovely picnics during the warmer seasons wherein kids and adults alike can enjoy great food and outdoor activities. But if you plan to organize your first picnic, take note of these few essential factors to that make up successful picnics.
A picnic will not happen without people. Find out the number of people who will be arriving. You can send out invitations via email, phone messages or just pick up the phone and get the names of those who will be at your picnic. Also, do not forget to check if there will be young kids and elderly people as they may need more comfortable seats and tables.
In connection, decide on a location for your picnic as that will also determine what you need to bring. If you will be having your picnic at the beach, then you need beach blankets or towels and coolers. However, if it is at the park or in your yard then maybe all you need to do is bring out the grill and some extra chairs and tables for people to seat on. Consider the weather too as if it gets too sunny then you need umbrellas. But the best thing to do to remedy that problem is to secure a spot under some shady trees.
Picnics are not the time wherein you will bring out your nice china and cutlery items. If you do not mind using plastic spoons, forks and knives then do so. Also, leave the antique silverware behind. Use those promotional cheese board and knives sets and the stubby holders. You do not need to worry about losing them during the picnic wherein people will be running around and using common items throughout the day anyway.
Of course, if you will be organizing a picnic, then you have to make sure that there will be enough food and drink for everyone who will be there. Many people prefer a pot luck theme wherein everyone gets to contribute something to the group for sharing. When it comes to drinks, decide early on if there will be alcoholic beverages or is it just going to be juices and sodas. The latter choices will be the best ones if your group is going to compose of kids and teenagers.
