Picnic Packing List Perfection!

Making a picnic packing list should take the worry out of preparing for the main purpose of the day – to enjoy yourself!

A picnic is a great way for the family and friends to get together in a relaxed and fun environment.

The key to a good picnic is to ensure that you have a great location that is safe, great scenery, friendly and not overcrowded. Also hope that Mother Nature looks after you on the day!

Tip 1: Check the Weather forecast!

Tip 2: Ensure the location is suitable – eg. Child friendly, scenic, bathrooms, barbeques

Tip 3: If you think you might drink alcohol then try to make arrangements beforehand about getting home eg. Taxi

Tip 4: Ask host what you can bring or make beforehand

Tip 5: Don’t forget to thank the Host! (Thank you card, email, phone call)
