After considering these options, I think Option 2, the outdoor picnic and games in the park, might be the best choice. It's cost-effective, offers a relaxed atmosphere, and allows us to enjoy the outdoors. We can prepare a variety of homemade dishes and snacks, making it a personalized celebration. However, we should also have a backup plan in case of bad weather. What do you all think?
