When the weather gets warmer one of the nicest things to do with family and friends is to go out and have a picnic. It doesn't take a lot to make your picnic special but there are a few traditional things you can do to make it extra special retro style.
Here is what you can put together to create your perfect vintage summertime picnic:
- Get your hands on a sizable vintage wicker picnic basket.
- Get together some plates, cups, forks, spoons, and napkins.
- Have some ready to grab finger sandwiches, deviled eggs, and fruit salad as your appetizers.
- Finger foods are easy to eat on the go and at a picnic so fry up some tasty chicken.
- Add a few sides to your chicken dish such as macaroni salad, egg salad, pasta salad, or potato salad.
- Bring drinks such as water or lemonade to quench everyone's thirst.
- For dessert have on hand some brownies, chocolate chip cookies, or mini apple pies.
- To make your summertime picnic feel extra retro you can use a vintage wicker basket, thrift your plates and utensils, or use mason jars to put your desserts in.
