Set up your basket with your utensils and a few items that are okay unrefrigerated for a couple of hours. Place a colorful tea towel in the bottom of the basket so the sides of it hang over the basket a little. Neatly arrange your napkins, plates, utensils, glasses and desserts in the basket. Place some roses throughout the basket to add a romantic touch to it.

Place ice packs on the bottoms of the basket or cooler when you pack your picnic lunch. If you will be driving or walking a distance a cooler is a better idea to keep items from perishing. Put any items that need to be cold against the ice packs.

Keep liquids that need to be warm in a thermos. Heat the liquid to hot and place it in the thermos before you leave. When you arrive at your picnic, the liquid should be the right temperature to drink.

Bring a variety of drinks such a water, soda and, as a romantic touch, wine or champagne. When you pack your picnic lunch, place the drinks where they'll be cool and safe from being damaged.

Tips & Warnings
Choose a color that suits your mood for your tea towel. Red add a romantic touch to the basket. You can buy matching cloth napkins to match your color theme and create a more intimate feeling to your picnic.
Pack your sandwiches unmade and make them when you are ready to eat so they stay fresh. If you make them before you go, they might get soggy.
Check to see if alcohol is allowed at your designated location.
Bring a first aid kit and bug repellent for any accidents or pesky mosquitoes.
