5 Things You Need for an Instagram-Worthy Picnic

Over the last year, we’ve all had enough “inside time” for a lifetime, right? It feels long overdue that we get outside, stretch those legs, and eat some good food with great people. It turns out, Instagram agrees. Social media is buzzing with Bridgerton inspired picnic ideas and if you’ve been to a park or beach lately, you know exactly what we mean.

Here’s a list of 5 essentials to build your own Instagram-worthy beach picnic:

Beach Umbrella

Whether you are planning a picnic for your bff’s birthday or a graduation celebration, an umbrella will elevate the entire experience. Plus, it keeps you out of the sun. And no one likes a burned part or harsh lighting, right? Right. They come in a wide range of colors, prints, and this umbrella has 70's inspired fringe. Yes, really.

Beach Blanket

Even if you aren’t scoping out a picnic spot on the beach, a beach blanket is the perfect setting for your spread. Beach blankets are larger than towels and designed to be rolled up and transported easily. They are also fast drying, even though we know you don’t spill, and will protect your body from the hot ground. Our beach blanket also comes with a hole in the center to perfectly fit your beach umbrella.

Cooler Bag

Let’s get down to business. While a picnic is about the cute pics, it’s also about spending time with the people you love while enjoying some delicious food and cold drinks. More on easy picnic food next. To make sure those snacks arrive cool and crisp, a cooler is essential. We highly recommend a premium cooler tote with a strap for easy carrying.

Picnic Food

Let’s start with the classics: Sandwich, fruit, and chips. If you want to level up your picnic food, try packing a cold soup in a sealed thermos or salad in a glass jar. Don’t forget salad dressing on the side. Here is an article with tons of delicious ideas.

Good Company

Last but not least, bring your people! Make sure you get the shot you came for, preferably right as everyone sets down their food. We all love a good tablescape photo, right? Then, put your phone right back in that adorable cooler tote and spend quality time with the people you love most. After all, picnics are meals meant to be spent with friends and family.
