A Moonlight Picnic can really be held anywhere, but it's perfect for a deck,
porch or patio because you can both dine by candlelight and moonlight at the same
time. A great thing about this sort of rendezvous is that you can virtually have one
anytime. Most of the items are readily available all the time. (Or they will be once
you construct your own Romantic Survival Kit)
It's always smart to do a bug block any time you dine outdoors. The rest of the
set up is easy. Set your table by dressing it first with a tablecloth, sheet, or blanket.
(Depends on how formal you want your evening to be.) Next, add candlesticks,
fresh flowers (maybe from your yard), the bowl of fruit, cheese and crackers to your
table. Chill your beverage. Prepare your meal or transfer from take-out containers to
your dishes. Dress for your date then wait for that special someone.
