In Honor of My 26th Birthday, I decided to be creative and throw Myself a East Coast Hampton’s Themed Picnic in the Park. To Set the proper tone, I made all my friends dress up in their best rendition of “Preppy” Hampton’s outfits…. Everyone’s Inspiration was from Chuck Bass to Blair Waldorf. Complete with a touch of Ralph Lauren, a string of Pearls, Headbands with Bows, Pastel Polos, Navy Stripes, Topsiders and Cardigans tied around the neck.

Veronica, Jenny, John and Myself.
Posey Posey… My Favorite Photo of the Day. Brantley and I look straight out of the 1950’s. Love the Strain of Pearls… So Jackie O! Haha
The Setting…..
The Theme Colors for my Picnic were red and white. Traditional Picnic Colors to lead with if you ask me. My Lovely mother so graciously donated her time to sewing picnic blankets and pillow covers.
Picnic Blankets: I went to Joann’s Fabric Store for Solid red and red and white stripped fabric. We sewed Water Proof Table cloths to the bottom of the Fabric, so they wouldn’t get damp through out the day.
Pillows: The Pillows came from Ikea ( $1.50 Each ) and My mom and I sewed Ikea white and red stripped dish towels (.75 for 1) together for pillow covers. Each Blanket had 2 pillows for lounging or lazy afternoon naps.
Extras: Each Picnic Blanket had a Red Blanket, in case of chilly breezes. a Bouquet of daisies tied with red Ribbon.
Lunch Boxes….
Each Guest in their RSVP was to select their choice of Lunch Options. They Choose From Turkey, Tuna and Caprese Sandwiches from the Larchmont Cheese shop wrapped in wax paper and tied with a red stripped ribbon. Also in each guests lunch were Kettle Potato Chips and a Choice between an shiny Apple or Cherries.
Lunch boxes were Purchased at the Container Store for $1.99 Each.
Outside of Each Lunchbox was a Red and White Polka Dot Menu and Matching Red Name Tag with the Guests Name. 
All Ribbon is from Joann’s Fabric Store
Menu Cards and Guest Name Tags were Purchased at The Paper Source.Polka Dot Fold Cards, 9.00 for set of 10Name Tags, 5.00 for 25
( Extra Cards doubled as Thank you notes! )
a Peak Inside
For Drinks…
I Purchased a couple Red Metal Buckets with Ice and Vintage Inspired Root Beer, Cola and Vanilla Creme Sodas. Also In a Silver Bucket was Pelligrino and Bottles Waters.
Dessert – Cupcakes in a Jar….
On the Bottom of the Jar was an inch of Strawberry Jam, Then I placed a Butter Cupcake with a Dollop of Cream Cheese Frosting on Top. They Started to melt a little during lunch, but still tasted phenomenal for a tasty afternoon treat! (Plastic jars were purchesed from the Container store for $1.99 a Piece.)
The Inspiration behind the dessert came from Martha Stewart Spring weddings.
Here is it shown as a End of the night treat for guests to take home.
* Note… If you do try and recreate this, these glass jars are very pricey. They go anywhere between 5 and 6 dollars each.
