Celebrate Your Mum with A Mother's Day Backyard Picnic

Mothers are the most amazing people in the world. They work, love, cherish, encourage, support… the list is never-ending.

Which is what makes giving back on Mother’s Day all that more special.

Unfortunately, with the current restrictions in place, visiting your local restaurant, café or public space is a bit less likely. So, this Mother’s Day, organise a backyard picnic at home with the family to celebrate everything that makes your mum so great.

Setting the Scene for Your Mother’s Day Backyard Picnic

It’s important to make this day extra special for your mum!

Stock up on all the essentials before the weekend, including food, decorative picnic accessories, and of course, a Mother’s Day gift your mum will love. Luckily, you can find most of what you’ll need at your local The Outdoor Chef store, with a quick stop past your local supermarket on the way home to grab some picnic snacks.

If you’re setting up on a grassed area in your backyard, make sure you have a large picnic rug, a low picnic table, some chairs or pillows for seating and some reusable plastic plates and eating utensils.

If you’re enjoying your Mother’s Day backyard picnic under a patio or paved area with seating, throw on a nice decorative tablecloth and set up all the plates, glasses and eating utensils in preparation for the meal.
