Valentine’s day is approaching next month and if you are someone that is in a relationship, you are likely thinking up all of the romantic ways that you can spend your valentine’s day with your partner. If your partner is really busy, it may be your job to plan activities to do together on valentines day. A really romantic way that you can spend your valentine’s day is by going for a picnic with your loved one. Here is how you can set up the perfect valentine’s picnic.
Pick a Place With Meaning
A picnic is a very simple plan for valentine day and so you have to make it a bit more special than a picnic would typically be. One way that you can do that is by going to a place that has a lot of meaning for the both of you. For example, you may have gone for a walk through a park in the early stages of your relationship, so you can go back there to enjoy the sentimental value of it.
Pick a Place With a Beautiful View
When you go on a picnic, you are going to be sitting there for hours and it is also likely that you will want to take plenty of pictures so that you can remember the moment. Something that your girlfriend will absolutely lose it for is if you pick a location with a brilliant view. There is something about being surrounded by beautiful scenery and it will really set the mood for the rest of your day together. Be careful not to go too close to a body of water, as there may be a lot of bugs that you have to deal with.
Make Sure You Head There When The Weather is Good
With Valentine’s Day being in February, something that you have to deal with is the unreliable weather. Some days it can be very bright and sunny and other days it can be raining substantially. When you are going on a picnic, you will be on the grass and the place where you are visiting may not have a properly installed irrigation system and so the grass may remain damp for days after you have visited the park. A good hack is that if local grass is still wet, head for a nice local beach and have a beach picnic.
Pick Food That Your Partner Loves
If you are in control of the picnic, this means that you are in control of your menu. Something that women absolutely love is when a man pays attention to what they like and they do not have to be reminded of anything that they love. I wouldn’t suggest bringing a full meal, but I would suggest packing a charcuterie board with plenty of cheese and crackers to use. You should also bring some fresh fruit to break this up, along with all of your girlfriend’s favorite snacks.
Bring an Activity With You
Though just sitting there and talking is always fun, you have to remember that it is valentines day and you should be making some pretty amazing memories. To make sure that you have something to do, as this will mean that you can spend hours having fun together. Something that a lot of people do is bring small paint kits and canvases and then take turns painting pieces together. This is a really fun and creative way to spend your valentine’s day and you will have a memento that you can keep from the day.
Play Music But Be Respectful
If you want to create a romantic setting, something that you should likely consider is playing music and listening to some of your favorite songs together. You can bring a small portable speaker with you and if you really want the day to feel special, you should create a playlist for the event and have all of your favorite songs compiled together. This will really set a nice mood, but you have to be careful to not be disrespectful to those around you. Pick a location a bit further away from everyone and make sure your music is low.
Make Sure Everyone is Comfortable
A big mistake that a lot of people make when they are going on a picnic is only bringing the picnic blanket and nothing else. As we get older, it becomes harder for us to be able to sit comfortably without any sort of resort and you don’t want to top your valentines day off with a sore back and sore butts, so make sure that you bring some thick pillows for you both to sit on. You can also get little fold up chairs, so if you are someone that needs some sort of back support, this will be the best option for you.
