Keep it Budget Friendly with you Besties

Eating out with a big group in this economy isn't as easy as it used to be, but hanging out at the park is free. No expensive valet parking or corkage fees. You can even make it a potluck picnic. Just about every thrift store has cute wicker baskets that make the perfect DIY centerpiece. Just add colorful Trade Joe's flowers like pink and orange Gerber daisies and white feverfew daisies for that disco vibe. Good weather is fleeting. Grab your friends, prepare your playlist, and start planning the ultimate outdoor disco themed picnic because these good vibes don't need to break the bank.

Set the Scene with Music

No outdoor disco is complete without the right tunes! Start by curating a playlist to manifest all the right vibes. If you are short on time, just think of that one song that captures the mood and generate a playlist based on that. Charge up a portable speaker to keep the tunes coming.

Colorful Decorations Keep it Playful

Now that the playlist is set, it’s time to think about decorations. Aim for a colorful and cheerful palette by using brightly colored tablecloths, funky plates, and vibrant napkins. Party decor can transform any park bench into a disco hotspot. You can even bring some string lights to hang around the picnic area for that magical glow as the sun begins to set.

Snacks and Drinks to Complement the Theme

No picnic is complete without delicious snacks and refreshing drinks. Keep it simple but funky! Think about finger foods like mini sliders, colorful fruit skewers, and disco ball cupcakes. We love brining fancy bottles of sparkling lemonade in fun cups or mason jars. Bonus points for colorful straws to match the vibe! And remember, stay eco-friendly: leave the confetti at home. It’s important to keep our parks clean for everyone to enjoy.

Theme Attire, Yes Please!

Have some fun with your outfits, too! Encourage everyone to dress up in their best disco attire. Funky sunglasses make the perfect party favor for a sunny park day. These little details help create a cohesive look that makes for fun photos.
