Romantic Picnic Ideas - a Date of Love and Romance in the Outdoors

Are you cracking your head for romantic picnic ideas?

Do you need some tips to help make a picnic extra romantic for your loved one?

Many people aren't so thrilled about eating in the great outdoors, but for many others, the idea of sharing a meal in their favorite place is an example of a perfect day. This type of picnic will require some planning and thought, though, because you are trying to be romantic.

So what are some great romantic picnic ideas?

• Choose a secluded spot, because nothing ruins the romance like having a wet dog come sniffing at your basket, or a football landing in your potato salad. The more private, the better.
  
  
• A picnic by the water is always soothing. Look for spots by rivers, lakes and on the ocean, but if you're planning your picnic for during the daytime hours, consider shade. Big trees or a beach umbrella will do nicely for this.
  
  
• You'll need some supplies, such as plates, forks, napkins and glasses. You can put these in your picnic basket, or some nice baskets actually have all these things, and more, in them. Make a list of what you are planning to take to eat and drink and plan your supplies accordingly. This will ensure that you are able to open your wine and drink it.
  
  
• One of the romantic picnic ideas you can consider is a romantic evening picnic. This often works well in places that have ambient light, but watch out for parks that close at dark, or you might get into some trouble. Instead, choose a place where the two of you will be alone, but not places where you could get lost.
  
  
• Your backyard can serve as a romantic picnic spot. You can watch the stars and be alone right in your home. For romantic picnic ideas, the location doesn't matter as much as the sentiment and the way the two of you use your time together.
  
  
• Remember that the picnic food you take depends on you and what you want. You can do as much as a full meal, or you can choose to have only chocolate covered strawberries and champagne if you want. It's your occasion, so keep that in mind.
  
  
• Take the time during your romantic picnic to speak slowly and lie back and relax. You don't want to fall asleep, but you do want to set the stage of romance, and that means that you act as if you have "all the time in the world" to do what you're doing right now. Enjoy your love and look deep into her eyes.
  
  
• Another of the romantic picnic ideas is to feed each other foods like grapes, oranges and strawberries, but be slow and romantic about it.
  
  
• Hold hands and lie down side by side, and look up at the sky while you talk about your hopes and dreams. Share the things that make you happy and sad and anything else you can think of. Think of your picnic as your special day together and take the time you want and need.

Did any of the above romantic picnic ideas appeal to you?

The truly great thing about romantic picnics is that you don't really need ideas to spend time. What you take with you is up to you, and the key to making this a truly pleasurable encounter is to make sure that you have all the elements for romance.

Whatever romantic picnic ideas you use, this is a time for just the two of you, and what happens when you get there is up to you.
