Summer is just around the corner which means…it’s time to start planning the most dreamy beach picnic date.
As summer steers near, what better time than to begin preparing for all the fun activities that the season brings. A dreamy beach picnic date sounds like the perfect plan to conduct during the sunny season. Whether you schedule one with your significant other, friends, or family, you are bound to have the best time and create some of the most amazing memories with the people you value most. Spending time outdoors (on the beach especially) with loved ones really allows for an endorphin high. Can you really name a better place to carry out a beach picnic date?
First things first, what to bring to a beach picnic date?
You don’t have to bring anything extravagant, you can keep it simple by packing a beach blanket, a basket full of food, and some good company. However, if you are wanting to go all out and really host the most dreamy beach date, I recommend you pack a little heavier. First off, pack an aesthetic beach blanket or rug to lie on the surface where you’ll be sitting. Take throw pillows or ottomans for cushioning or to lean up against. Bring side tables and trays to place the food and drinks on. Of course, you cannot forget the picnic basket filled with the delicious foods. For an added aesthetic pack some ornaments such as flowers or candles to add to the vibe.
Don’t forget to pack up the necessities as well such as plates, cups, and silverware. If you find single-use dishes easier, just try to make sure they are composable. In addition, make sure you take cloths and trash bags to clean up after.

The Entertainment
While having good company is really all you need if you ever find yourselves running out of things to catch up on entertainment makes the perfect plan B. Packing a speaker to listen to good music and having fun games to play would make for the perfect amusement.
The Food
What is a picnic without the delicious foods? For the food you will want to make sure that whatever it is that you decide to bring should be easily transportable. There are a variety of dishes that make that you can take to a beach picnic date, just be sure that they travel well. Anything from pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, salads, fruits, and veggies make for the perfect dishes to take. A charcuterie board would also make for an excellent dish. They are not only great for snacking but they give an aesthetic as well, if you’re really going for the dreamy beach picnic feel. You can get creative and set up a charcuterie board yourself or you can easily find one at your local grocery store.
The drinks are very important, they should be refreshing, try going for canned or bottled beverages. Ensure that you pack loads of water and bubbly, the essentials. You can also think about packing tea, lemonade, and soda. Give your guests a variety to choose from.
