Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion like a graduation, a family reunion, birthday, or just gathering a group of friends for some summer fun, we’ve got you covered.

Be sure to read until the end, because we’re sharin’ our picnic party theme online invitation with you!

Let’s get started!

1. Gingham Picnic Blanket

No picnic party is complete without the perfect picnic blanket. Plus, nothing says picnic like gingham print, which is why we’re loving this festive blanket by ModCloth. Your guests will love it, and it’ll give your party the perfect picnic vibes!

If you don’t have time to run out and find this picnic blanket, don’t fear! You can easily achieve this look by using a gingham tablecloth as a picnic blanket. It’s all about making the most of the resources you have!

2. Corn on the Cob

In our opinion, corn on the cob is a staple of any good picnic party. However, we’re not just talkin’ about plain old corn on the cob…there are so many ways to put a spin on this traditional dish, like this tasty recipe for Jamaican Street Corn by Diva Eats World! Count us in.

3. Mason Jar Berry Iced Tea

Okay, how cute are these berry iced teas by Thirsty for Tea? They’re super simple to make–all you need are mason jars, tea bags of your choice, an assortment of fruit to add to each jar, and sunshine! These refreshing, colorful drinks add the perfect touch to any picnic party.

4. DIY Giant Jenga

Games are a great way to bring your guests together for a little friendly competition! If you’re wanting to put together a game that anyone at your picnic party can play, consider giant jenga! All you’ll need for this are some jenga blocks, which you can actually make yourself by following these directions by Lemon Thistle. Then, sit back and watch your guests enjoy a rousing game of jenga (or show ‘em how it’s done by joining in on the fun!).
