A Picnic List Will Help You Plan

Below is a picnic list I have made, which I hope will help you get started on the planning of your picnic.

Along with other tips you might come across in this site, it’s a good idea to keep it on your computer and then you can easily refer to it again and again.

Naturally you can amend it according to the size, location and theme of the outdoor event you’re planning and add your own personal items.

You can keep a number of these items stored together so that when you are arranging an alfresco event, or when you organise a spur-of-the-moment meal out, it is a simple task to pick out and pack up the things you require before you set off.

My suggestions:

• Picnic table/cloth/chairs
• Waterproof blanket / rugs / cushions
• Hamper / basket / bottle bag /
• Cool box(es) / ice packs
• Sunshade / umbrella / sunscreen / hats
  
• First-aid kit
• Bin (trash) bags / wipes / hand sanitizer
• A wasp deterrent
  
• Insect repellent and fly catcher
• Bottle opener / can opener
• Napkins / paper towels
• Plates / dishes / mugs / cups
• Food covers
  
• Wine glasses or flutes
• Cutlery / utensils
• Salt / pepper / mustard / ketchup / sauces
• Flowers / ribbons / flags / fireworks / candles / torch
• Sports equipment/games / bikes
• Kite / frisbee / bubble liquids & wands
• Bucket and spade / beach ball / fishing net / towels
• Camera / binoculars / a good book or fully charged Kindle
• Paper and pens / notebook
• Change of clothes and shoes – especially for children
• Wine / Champagne / ice bucket
