There’s no need to head outside for a romantic picnic. With the right elements in place, picnicking inside can be just as fun and a lot cozier. Here are six tips for enjoying an at-home picnic this Valentine’s Day.
- Throw a blanket down in your favourite room and add some comfy pillows to the mix.
- If you have a fireplace, light it up. If not, some safely placed candles will do the trick.
- Try stringing up some white holiday lights to add some twinkling starlight to the occasion.
- If you choose to have music, prepare a mix beforehand so you can concentrate on enjoying yourself instead of what song to play next.
- And don’t forget about the food and drinks. Start with the things you’d enjoy at a regular picnic. Choose delicious treats that are easy to prepare and don’t require a full table setting to enjoy. Some great wine, well-paired with a range of cheeses, a charcuterie board or smoked oysters on cocktail crackers are all tasty choices. Here are a few snack ideas to get you started
- Fresh fruit with whipped cream and sparkling wine can provide the perfect finishing touch.
