We’ve also discussed some very important

Picnic Food Safety Tips.

Now that you know all about how to keep your food safe, let’s talk about the fun ways that you can serve it!

Who says that you have to use just plain old plates to serve your food? The ways that you serve food at your company picnic can let your company’s creativity shine though.

See below for some of the fun ways that you can serve your picnic meal!

1.  Frisbees

Serving your food on a frisbee has three huge benefits!  It starts out as a plate, turns into a game, and ends up as a party favor! Nothing like getting more bang for your buck.

2. Buckets and Pails

These are great for adding that rustic vibe to your party.  Just make sure that they are sanitized before any food is placed in them.

3.  Mason Jars

Just like the frisbees, these act as an awesome party favor at the end of the day!  They also serve as a unique way to store utensils.

4. Cones

Whether they be paper cones or actual ice cream cones, cones are an excellent way to serve snacks and appetizers.  Plus, they are easy to carry around!

5.  Pre-Made Veggie Cups

These treats not only look cute, but they are super functional as well! Just fill the bottom of a cup with dressing and place slices of veggies in it for a snack on the go!

6.  Using the Food Itself

Wanna get really creative! Carve a watermelon to use as a fruit bowl or carve one out to use as a drink dispenser! Your guests will be very impressed at this extra creativity!

We hope that you enjoyed these helpful picnic tips!
