Picnicking means nothing more than consuming a meal in the open air. But there are picnics and picnics, from a properly laid table carried by white-gloved waiters into a shady garden, to a sandwich taken along to eat on a walk.
But let us assume that you are planning something in between, and inviting a number of guests. First, choose a site that can be reached largely by car with only a little walking, for it is no fun to carry picnic baskets for miles. Second, you must make absolutely sure that your guests are able and willing to go to the site you have chosen. As a veteran picnic-goer and picnic-giver, I can tell you that there is no point in sending a group of people trudging along a beach or a woodland path just to get something to eat.
