A Romantic Picnic
Valentine's Day is ideal for exchanging
Valentine's Day an unforgettable one. Here's how to pull it off.
Getting Started
Before planning anything else, be sure to scout out the site where you want to bring your honey to celebrate the romantic occasion. Verify the opening and closing hours (if applicable) of your desired location and whether or not there will be crowds at the time when you plan to go, should the locale be a popular one. Also watch out for the weather forecast (there's no cheating mother nature) and the bug factor (mosquitoes are not romantic in the least bit). If February is a cold month where you live, the picnic may be best brought indoors in front of the
fireplace.

Choosing the Menu
The most essential element to the picnic, besides comfort, is the food. The bottom line when creating a menu, no matter how you want to organize it, is to make sure that the food is easy to eat. In other words, avoid the following:
'''Food'''
You should be able to eat with your hands and feed each other whatever you bring. Great food choices include:
'''Beverage '''
As for drinks, the winner, of course, is champagne. However,
corks (pictured right). They come in handy and effectively seal your wine until you use it next.
'''Dessert '''
Chocolate,
ice cream. Just be sure that your items will stay frozen until you are ready to eat!
