1. Forget about the weather: if it's raining, just move the picnic indoors and spread a cloth on your living room floor.
2. Use a sturdy clean wooden chopping board to display your food or to use as a rustic looking serving tray.
3. A tiered cake stand makes it easy for guests to help themselves to a variety of mini savouries.
4. Choose a theme for your meal: anything from a teddy bear's picnic for the kids to your favourite grown-up colour. Buy napkins or plates to match and ask all your guests to dress up to join in.
5. Layer salad ingredients in a clean jam jar with a lid on for each guest. It colourful, tasty and easier to transport than in a bowl.
