Joie de Vivre: Weekend Picnic Ideas


Today we are offering five ideas to make for an enjoyable weekend picnic.  Picnicking is such a wholesome way to spend quality time together with the entire family or as a couple.  It’s only the beginning of spring but it’s never too early to think about a lovely picnic.  If anything, planning a picnic may cheer you up!  Check our Art of the Home picnic suggestions below.

Art of the Home Picnic Suggestions:

  1. Trade in plastic plates, glasses, and silverware for real ones.
  2. Bring cloth napkins and a tablecloth – traditional or improvised like in the picture above (although I wouldn’t use my favorite scarf, an old one would work — what a great idea!)
  3. Fill up a glass with water — have your loved ones pick anything that resemble flowers and place on the table as a centerpiece.
  4. If you can’t get away for a picnic, take it on your deck, patio or backyard — those are great rooms to enjoy starting in spring.  And talking from experience, it’s a quick run inside if you’re caught all of a sudden with April showers or a summer storm!
  5. Bring some music — it will set the ambiance, it will get the family sharing their favorite songs and may encourage a little dancing!


Wishing you a blissful weekend!
