A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO ORGANISING A PICNIC IN 2025

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN ORGANISING A PICNIC IN 2025

My friends and I finally took the picnic out of the group chat last month and it was only until then that I realized how difficult it is to throw a picnic. I know you’ve been seeing those cute tiktok videos of people at picnics but there is a lot of work put in especially if you are not going to pay for a professional organizer as some people do, there is a lot to put into consideration but Fork Gram did all that for you so you need not experiment just follow this step by step guide on how my friends and I managed to throw this picnic… lets dive in 

 First and foremost I would prefer you to first identify the location of your picnic. This is because the location is very influential in the choices you are to make which includes the colors you are to choose the type of cloth you are to seat on and a lot more…Fork Gram recommends the beach or a quiet garden.. Somewhere you will be able to connect with nature properly. My friends and I opted for a quiet space so we organized it at a green leisure garden. 

After deciding on your location now think about … Who you are going with at the picnic. This should be the next in your mind because different people call for different adjustments, the kind of set up to have at a picnic with your boyfriend is not the kind of set up to have on the picnic with your friends. For a picnic with your partner fork gram recommends something intimate like flowers or pillows in form of red hearts… just to make the scene romantic. You can use Pinterest for inspiration whereas for a picnic with friends just be simple since you will do more eating, talking and laughing no need to go overboard

Now that that’s out of the way time for you to think of the most important part of the picnic FOOD!

 What is a picnic without food literally if everything fails the food shouldn’t because you spend most of the time snacking as you converse with whoever you are with

 PUT THE FOLLOWING INTO CONSIDERATION WHILE CHOOSING FOOD

 Pick something light but filling. Often time’s picnics are outdoors and it will be to your advantage to actually choose a light meal since you and your company will be eating throughout the whole experience and you wouldn’t want to be full in the first hour... Equally though light, your choice should be filling [I know I’m now contradicting but here me out]... Your choice shouldn’t be filling on the first bite but after sometime you shouldn’t be hungry. For this Fork Gram recommends sandwiches, pizza, cake, fruits lots of fruits, bread, pies, champagne and juice for drinks water too … 

 You ought to consider some extra activities other than conversations like games, if your location is a beach then better, take a swim to keep everything fun, you can play board games or record funny tiktok videos together just do something that will keep both of you entertained. 

 This brings us to the most important part of a picnic after food the SETUP ...Now setups vary depending on location and the type of company you expect, if it’s a solo picnic its totally fine to do as you wish as long as you are comfortable but if it is a couple picnic you might need to grab some flowers [roses obviously] if you are having trouble figuring it out Pinterest is your friend there are a lot of visual inspirations there that can help you After choosing a setup now care about the mat or the cloth you are to sit on…this is because you now know the color to choose and the kind of vibe you are going for… Fork gram recommends having a clean cotton white bed sheet it will make the food pop in the pictures and it just looks amazing with every set up. Why cotton? One might ask, the answer is…cotton is thicker than most materials so it will not be blown away by the wind and the pricking grass or sand won’t make you as uncomfortable as those who will opt for silk or another material

 Consider having a cooler [you can grab this on amazon] to keep your drinks cool and a good old basket to carry everything together This is exactly what my friends and I considered when we organized our picnic and I hope this post has been helpful, please don’t forget to comment your experiences and questions and don’t forget to tag fork gram on INSTAGRAM when you post about your picnics can’t wait to see all of you
