Congratulations! You've finally tied the knot and are now looking forward to your honeymoon (or at this point, maybe your first anniversary). What better way to celebrate your love than by indulging in a romantic picnic with the love of your life? Picnics are a classic way to spend quality time with your loved one while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. But they've come a long way from bringing a small basket and checkered blanket to a tree on a hill (also romantic, but wait till you see the gallery below...).

Why Choose a Picnic?

Picnics are a great way to escape the wild daily life and spend some quality time with your partner. Enjoy nature, relax, and indulge in some delicious food. And the best part is that picnics are easier to plan than ever with so many resources, and you can plan them anywhere, from your backyard to a romantic beach or park.

Choosing the Perfect Location

The first and foremost step to planning a perfect picnic is selecting the perfect location. Consider your partner's preferences while choosing the location. If they love the beach and walks on the sand, plan a picnic on the beach. If they prefer mountains with maybe a light hike, find a scenic spot near the mountains. In all cases, a peaceful and serene environment is your best friend to kick off that romantic vibe!

Picnic Menu Ideas

Along with the perfect location is a thoughtful menu. The menu should be simple, yet delicious, and should include a mix of sweet and savory items. Here are some picnic menu ideas that would be perfect for your honeymoon:

Finger Foods

Finger foods are perfect for picnics as they are easy to eat and don't require any utensils. Pack some sandwiches, wraps, and salads, and you're good to go. You can also include some cheese and fine breads or crackers, fresh fruit, and nuts for a healthy and refreshing snack.

Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards are a great way to indulge in some delicious meats and cheeses. Pack some prosciutto, salami, and smoked salmon, along with some cheese and crackers. Or get some help with the menu from a pro-- click here!

Desserts

No picnic is complete without some dessert. Pack some cupcakes, brownies, or cookies, or go for some fresh fruit and chocolate. You can also pack some champagne or wine to toast to your love.

Quick Tips

Pack plenty of water and other hydrating drinks to keep you and your partner hydrated throughout the picnic. And bring a picnic blanket-- that item is a must-have for any picnic. It provides a comfortable seating area and protects you from the ground. Choose a blanket that is soft, durable, and easy to clean.
