All are fine though I am not sure of the underlined one, which according to me can be revised to:

(Thanks to Sarat106, I am taking another look at this one.)

Re:

I am not familiar with that usage, and I would say Mary prepared a picnic for her visitor.

(Because I am unfamiliar with something doesn't mean it isn't used. One person can't know everythinbg. On the other hand, two people have commented on this one.)
