National Picnic Month has arrived, making it the best time of year to get family and friends together outdoors for fresh air, laughter, and sunshine. From celebrating the 4th of July to Bastille Day, or the more lighthearted Daiquiri Day, here’s how to get everyone involved for some fun.?

Create a list of people you want to invite and choose a location

A bit of pre-planning always proves successful for group gatherings. So, for starters, make a quick list of loved ones you want to enjoy the day with. The first people who come to mind should make the cut. And if you want to make things budget-friendly, try having them bring a dish or snacks the group can share. From there, choose a location with good scenery, shade in case it gets too hot and nearby restrooms/transit that everyone can easily access.

Prepare the food and pack a picnic basket

After your invitations – or texts and calls – are shared with guests, begin preparing the food the night before or day of the picnic. Whichever saves you time and keeps the food freshest is best. In case you are unsure what to pack, a few common picnic foods include sandwiches, pasta salad, fried chicken, lemonade, watermelon, deviled eggs, and something sweet like brownies or cookies to keep the spirits high.

Set up your picnic area and enjoy!

Once you choose an outfit that suits the weather, head to the picnic area and set-up before your guests arrive. You can bring along foldable seating, a cloth or blanket to set the food on and then create the spread for your company. Keep in mind, the set-up doesn't need to be perfect – just accommodating. Greet your guests with a smile as they arrive and thank them for coming. Once the gang’s all there, turn on some music and enjoy the feast!

Continue to have a safe and happy month of July!
