Things You'll Need:
- Picnic baskets
- Cloth or paper napkins
- Metal or plastic flatware
- Plates
- Picnic food
- Picnic blankets
-
Step 1
Determine how many people will be invited to your picnic, and decide how many plates, napkins, and pieces of flatware that you will need. Pack one of your picnic baskets with these items. It can be especially charming, and environmentally friendly, to use summer-themed plastic plates and cloth napkins. If you have room, include picnic blankets in this basket.
-
Step 2
Pack one of your picnic baskets full of fruit or cut up vegetables. Wash the produce carefully, and slice in advance. Alternately, to prevent browning, pack the clean fruit and vegetables whole, and include a cute cutting board and a sharp knife or two.
-
Step 3
Pack another of your picnic baskets with cut up cheese and rolled up meat. Include an ice pack with this basket in order to keep your cold food fresh.
-
Step 4
Pack another basket with items such as rolls, chips, and condiments. If you do not have enough picnic baskets, these can be carried out separately.
-
Step 5
Load up a summer-themed tray with plastic tumblers and a pitcher of iced tea or lemonade. For extra fun, freeze ice cubes in silicone trays with summer-themed shapes, such as palm trees, sand castles, seashells, and shovels and buckets. These can be found at home and garden shops.
