Creating a memorable company picnic on a budget is not only possible but can also be incredibly enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved. At Cultivate, we specialize in making every event special with personalized gifting solutions that fit any budget, whether on-site or online. A company picnic is a wonderful way to celebrate your team and appreciate their hard work in a relaxed, fun setting.

Set the Scene

Start by choosing the perfect location. A local park, beach, or even your company’s outdoor space can serve as an ideal venue. Look for spots with plenty of shade, picnic tables, and recreational facilities like volleyball courts or hiking trails. If your budget allows, renting a pavilion or gazebo can add extra comfort and convenience.

Engaging activities are the heart of any picnic. Plan a mix of team-building exercises and leisure activities to cater to everyone’s interests. Team-building games like tug-of-war, sack races, or scavenger hunts can foster teamwork and camaraderie, while sports and recreational options like volleyball, soccer, or cornhole offer friendly competition. Additionally, creating a relaxation area with blankets and pillows can provide a space for team members to unwind and chat.

Keep ‘em happy and appreciated

Food is another major highlight of any picnic. Keep it simple yet delightful with options that cater to various dietary needs. A potluck-style meal encourages team members to bring their favorite dishes, creating a diverse and abundant spread. Alternatively, hiring a local catering service for picnic-friendly options or inviting a food truck can add a unique touch to your event.

Personalizing the experience with Cultivate’s gifting solutions can make your picnic extra special. Setting up a gifting station at your picnic allows employees to browse and choose their own gifts from a curated collection, adding an element of surprise. For virtual or hybrid events, our Online Gifting platform allows team members to select their gifts from the comfort of their homes. We offer a wide range of high-quality options, from premium homeware to tech gadgets, ensuring there's something for everyone.
