What supplies do i need to have when hosting a PICNIC?
Main dishes:the meats,cheeses,drinks,ice {at least 3 bags}


*Plates,Napkins,Cups,Utensils,Garbage Bags.





*Now a picnic makes me think of :::burgers,hot dogs,ribs,steaks,shrimp,BBQ chicken,{I would choose three}.





*Cheese:cheddar,pepper jack,provolone.


*Bread:Buns for burgers and hot dogs.


*Condiments: Ketchup,Miracle Whip,Mayo,Mustard,Relish,Steak Sauce.


*You can also bring a couple bags of potato chips,pretzels,and ranch,and french onion dips. A Vegetable Platter might be nice.





Drinks: Water,Tea,Sodas,if alcohol,I would advise a light beer of choice,kool-aid for the kids.





Most likely they might bring::baked beans,potato salad,regular salad,deviled eggs,pasta salads,macaroni and cheese,mashed potatoes,broccoli casserole.





Music is a nice touch,a mix of all types.
Reply:Noonie,if its a potluck where everyone is bringing a dish, then you provied the booze,mixes,sode,beer. Any board game, cards, music,let them dance--have a contest.balls,bat. After a few drinks they will make their own fun. Don't worry it will be fun. wish I was going..Carol C. Report It

Serving implements, spoons, spatulas, food tongs etc.


Tables, chairs or blankets to sit on.


Drinks of some kind, non alcoholic if you have said for them to bring their own alcohol, otherwise you will need to get some beer in, and some of those 3 litre casks of wine. (a red and a white)
