Late Summer Picnic Wedding: The Food...

I am so smitten with these pink paper swirly twirly straws. They are just happy to look at! They will be brilliant with the Lorina Pink Sparkling Lemonade (my favorite!)...
Did you know that Etsy has a lot of catering and restaurant supplies in smaller quantities? That is another great thing about Etsy. You can get 300 of these glassine sandwich bags instead of 3,000 and most sellers are willing to create a special order for you selling you only what you need. Then you just need a great sandwich... or a couple of great sandwich choices.
My latest favorite goes like this: Sun dried Tomato Turkey, Havarti Cheese, Tomato, Alf alpha Sprouts on a great soft bakery roll with a little mayo and a tiny mustard.
In addition to the drinks and sandwiches, you serve your guests some great kettle chips and some brownies or cookies...



Etsy Vintage searches are always good for finding old picnic baskets and many of them are a reasonable price. I you are having less than a hundred guests and on a budget, you could ask each of your bride's maids to cater a picnic for 1 picnic blanket (about 10 guests..)
Tip: be careful to use ingredients that are going to hold up to a little wait and a little heat. It may be wise to transfer food to cute picnic baskets from Styrofoam coolers where at least sandwiches and drinks can be kept cold.
