The idea
Some birthdays call for slowing down. Spread out blankets in a park, a garden or on the beach, set a low table with flowers and let the afternoon unfold with good food and even better company.
Pack the perfect basket
Bring more cushions than you think you need, a cooler for drinks, a speaker, sunscreen and a bag for the trash. The best picnic parties feel effortless because the planning happened the day before.
