Set Up a Picnic in Your Backyard

Don't have a beach or time to go to a picnic spot? Set up a picnic in your own backyard. If your yard is spacious enough and you are having guests over, set up individual tables with picnics baskets, inviting guests to grab whatever food they want to eat from within the basket. The food could include pre-made sandwiches, small chocolate desserts, to side dishes in nice looking tupperware. Use your imagination and made your 4th of July backyard picnic one to remember!

Don't have time to plan a backyard picnic because you want to catch the fireworks? Pack along a picnic basket dinner and bring it with you. It will be a great to hold all of your food items in the basket while you're hurrying along to get a great spot to watch the fireworks.

4th of July Outfit

If you're all set and ready to enjoy the 4th of July with a fun picnic too, there's just one thing you're missing: an outfit! Depending on if you'd like to be patriotic and go with a red, white, and blue theme or just wear whatever you'd, like, find a comfy outfit that will be okay to wear throughout the long evening ahead. If you're going out to watch the fireworks you'll need to be in a breathable outfit that allows you to move around and sit on a blanket for a long period. This also includes your shoes, which should also be comfortable. Plan accordingly and bring along a sweater for when the evenings get cold and you'll be all set to enjoy the holiday.
