Nothing oozes romance like a private picnic for two! This nostalgic pastime is a unique idea for your next date night or to mark a special occasion – birthday, anniversary, or personal accomplishment. Even if you simply wish to indulge in some luxurious relaxation, we guarantee that your partner will be enthralled by the one-on-one time. Here are a few things to consider that will help you plan a romantic luxury picnic in New Jersey.

Location, Location, Location

Planning a picnic starts with choosing a location – of which there are many. New Jersey is gorgeous, with countless spots that will serve as a romantic backdrop for a date, as well as a proposal. But there are a few important factors to consider when scouting locations. To start you will want to think about the weather. For a sunny day, an area with trees will provide some much-needed relief. And during colder temperatures, you can always add on one of our darling bubble tents. Alternatively, we can set up an intimate picnic within your home! You can imagine just how cozy it would be in front of a fire, surrounded by candles and rose petals. If in public, you will also want to think about the popularity of the location. Namely, whether you would prefer a more private setup versus a busy summer day at the park. If you need help choosing a location, take a look at our top 5 places to host a picnic in New Jersey!

Include a Personal Touch

The best of our ideas for a romantic luxury picnic is to include a personal touch. It goes without saying that this is the most effective way to set your setup apart from the rest. There are countless ways to personalize your picnic or up the romance. For starters, set the mood with music. Say your favorite song or one that played during a special moment. Like a first date! Another option is to have your favorite photos framed. To like the walkway leading to the picnic or to adorn the table. Of course, you could always go the classic route, and top her place setting off with a love letter – a keepsake they will cherish forever.

Perfect the Menu

Although it is not a requirement, a small menu is a simple way to elevate your picnic. It is also a helpful way to help pass the time and keep the conversation flowing on any romantic dates in New Jersey. The best part is that regardless of the occasion, you don’t need anything fancy. That’s what makes a picnic fun! Keep it simple with a bottle of champagne and a charcuterie board. Or grab a few of your favorite cold sandwiches and sides. Our favorite trend as of late is personal cakes! In a heart shape, customized with a witty phrase and colorful icing, it is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. 

Bring the Romance

To host a romantic date night you need, well, romance. Thankfully, creating an air of romance is the easiest part. All it takes is a bit of creativity or a love of rom-coms! You can always go the classic route, with rose petals sprinkled about. Or, feature fresh floral centerpieces! Candles or lanterns are also beautiful and will cast a beautiful glow around the table once the sun goes down. As far as furniture, we’ve got you covered. We will provide plenty of blankets, pillows, and poufs to snuggle up in.
