Summer birthdays are the perfect excuse to celebrate outdoors, and what better way to do that than with a beach picnic? Hosting a picnic party at the beach is a great way to enjoy the sun, sand, and waves while celebrating your special day. Even more so with a cold drink in hand, surrounded by close family or friends. Keep reading for ideas and inspiration on how to host a sunny birthday beach picnic, from decorations to a menu, activities, and more.

Pick the Perfect Beach

When it comes to choosing a beach for your picnic, there are plenty of places to choose from! New Jersey has upwards of 141 miles of oceanfront spanning the coastline. Booking with Yours Truly, Decor includes an inside scoop on the best location for a birthday beach picnic! Whether your priority is a stunning sunset view or privacy. If you plan to have children in attendance, we can also recommend locations with nearby entertainment, like a beachside playground or a bustling boardwalk.

Beach Picnic Decorations

After you have chosen the perfect beach, it’s time to create a memorable picnic spread. And that’s where our team comes in! We have beautiful picnic party rentals to ensure that your birthday celebration aligns with your vision. Start off with our low picnic table rentals, complemented by plenty of poufs and pillows. Plus blankets, to ensure that your guests don’t get covered in sand. Top the table off with soft linens and serving ware, if you plan to enjoy dinner while the sun sets. We can even provide you with some relief from the sun, thanks to our stylish bohemian umbrellas. 

If you’re looking for an extra luxurious touch, be sure to ask about our custom floral or design services! We would love to create one-of-a-kind floral arrangements for centerpieces. As well as provide other aesthetic tabletop decorations, like candlesticks, that will complete your beautiful tablescape.

Plan A Beach-Themed Menu

A birthday beach picnic requires an on-theme menu! We recommend keeping it simple, so you don’t have to fight any sand for the first bite. Finger foods such as sandwiches, fruit spreads, and charcuterie are perfect. Don’t forget to have plenty of refreshing drinks available such as lemonade, iced tea, or fruit-infused water. To complete your luxury picnic setup, and enjoy a completely hands-off and stress-free day, ask about our a la carte items. From a stylish wicker bar cart to ice buckets, and drink dispensers, we have everything you need.
