11-Inch Tonal Melamine Dinner Plate

Melamine dinnerware is the ideal choice for outdoor dining, so if you’re missing a set, consider stocking up on these $3 plates. They are essentially shatter-proof, meaning it’s no big deal if they get dropped on the ground or tossed around on the way to a picnic, plus they’re nicer than paper plates (and reusable) yet more durable than stoneware. They come in this neutral design as well as red-rimmed, green-striped, and green plaid options.  

Natural Woven Picnic Basket with Green Plaid Liner 

Whether you’re enjoying dinner in your backyard or at the park, you’ll want a picnic basket to transport all of your food and utensils. This new one from Joanna Gaines’ summer collection is a stylish option thanks to its natural woven design, sturdy faux leather latch closure and handles, and green plaid lining. One shopper called it the “perfect picnic basket,” while another said it’s “gorgeous in person” and “quite large and deep.” 

4-Pack 10-Ounce Ribbed Plastic Parfait Cups

This four-pack of outdoor-friendly parfait cups is just $10, and their 10-ounce size is just right for a post-dinner treat like homemade ice cream or berry trifle. They have a clear plastic base with a ribbed body and a bright reddish-orange rim that adds a summery touch. Best of all, you can place them in the dishwasher for a fuss-free cleanup. 

60- x 84-Inch Ticking Stripe Wipeable Rectangular Tablecloth

You might want to use something other than your nice table linens for outdoor dinner parties, so consider grabbing this easy-to-clean tablecloth. The vinyl material lets you wipe spills away, while the cotton backing protects your table from scratches. One customer said they “love that this looks nicer than most other plastic tablecloths,” adding that it “wipes down really well and hasn't stained from markers or food.” I’m personally drawn to the timeless ticking stripe design, but there are others to choose from, including this green checkered option and this light blue and white plaid one.
