For the adventurous, you may even want to try having the picnic on the beach, in your car or in your backyard. Once the venue is decided, think of what food you would like to have for the picnic. Food items that are easy to pack and eat should be high on the list. For example, a can of iced tea is better than a jug of lemonade, unless you are having the picnic in your backyard where you can run into the kitchen every now and then to pour it into glasses. Bring along food that will not go bad easily.
Some food needs to be refridgerated or eaten warm.
Avoid bringing along all these. The last thing you want is for you and your date to be all thirsty during the picnic. Bring enough water for the two of you. You can even use the water to wash your hands before and after eating. Now that the food and venue are taken care of, let's look at what other things are needed for a successful romantic picnic.
