As the summer sun shines brightly and the air is filled with the sound of celebration, there’s no better way to spend Independence Day than with a festive, picnic style lunch. Whether you’re gathering with family, friends, or neighbors, hosting a 4^th of July picnic lunch is a wonderful way to enjoy good food, great company, and the patriotic spirit. Here is a guide to planning an upscale yet laidback 4^th of July picnic style lunch, featuring beautiful tableware and accessories from Baker Party Rentals.

CHOOSE THE PERFECT SETTING

Selecting the right spot is key to an enjoyable picnic. Consider a local park, beach, or even your own backyard or a local community lounge/clubhouse. Ensure the location has enough shade, seating, and amenities like restrooms and grills if you plan on cooking on-site.

SET THE SCENE WITH FESTIVE DECOR

Embrace the red, white, and blue theme! For the perfect themed picnic tablescape, combine our Red Gingham Tablecloth with the Roma Blue Goblets, Royal Blue Napkins, White Square Plates, and Hammered Flatware. It’s the perfect combination!

DRINK STATION

A well-thought-out menu is nothing without a bright and refreshing beverage station to escape the summer heat. Whether you are just looking to keep everyone hydrated with iced tea or water with slices of lemon, use our 3 Gallon Modern Beverage Dispenser with Wood Base. Want to add some flavor with sodas and seltzers? Use the Hammered Beverage Tub. The choice is yours! …You can also add some matching Red and Blue Gingham Napkins for potential spills!

APPETIZERS AND SMALL BITES

Every picnic needs a charcuterie board to nibble on while we wait for the main courses of hot dogs and hamburgers to finish grilling. We used White Rectangle Coupe Trays and Stainless Tongs for easier accessibility to the freshly washed strawberries, grape clusters, and let’s not forget the classic bite-sized cheddar cheese cubes. Now just in case some of your guests may have allergies or dietary restrictions, add a veggie tray with hummus and gluten-free crackers for a healthier option using White Square Plates and Bowls to match the place settings at the table.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Hosting a 4^th of July style picnic lunch is all about celebrating freedom, community, and the joys of summer.
