How to Plan a Charming Old-Fashioned Picnic

As a child, we loved going on picnics. It was one of my favorite times as a child. Picnics were more popular in years past but I am hoping to see a resurgence. It is a nice way to spend the day at your local park with family and friends.

Picnics Can Be Simple or Themed

You don’t really need a theme or decorations. That is one of the beauties of having a picnic.

All you have to do to make it super easy is pick up a tray of food from Costco. They have so many prepared trays to make it even easier!

Some possible themes include:

Old Fashioned Victorian Party:

Vintage-inspired picnic basket or wicker hamper

Vintage tea sets, complete with teapot, cups, and saucers

Antique doilies or lace tablecloths

Fresh flowers in vintage-inspired vases or jars

Vintage parasols or umbrellas to provide shade

Antique or vintage-style picnic blankets or quilts

Tea sandwiches made with cucumber, cream cheese, and watercress

Fresh garden salads with baby greens, cherry tomatoes, and edible flowers
