Easter Party Ideas Everyone Is Sure To Enjoy
For many of us, Easter usually means spending quality time with family and friends over the holidays. And what better way to relax and enjoy each others’ company than with a celebratory Easter party!
From bunnies to eggs, chocolate treats and sumptuous meals, below are some fun Easter party ideas that are sure to be a hit with all your guests.
Party Theme
While Easter in itself is pretty much a theme, you can always choose a specific aspect of Easter to base your party food, décor, as well as games and activities on. For example if your Easter party theme happens to be “Easter eggs” you can choose to decorate your venue with eggs, serve up various egg dishes and chocolate egg desserts, as well as use eggs throughout all your party games and entertainment.
Other potential Easter party themes worth considering include: bunnies, flowers, chocolate lovers, pastel colours, chicks, Easter dessert party etc.
Party Games
Easter party games are a great way for guests to have some fun and share some laughs. From the well-known egg and spoon race to the traditional Easter egg hunt, you can even incorporate ordinary games with an Easter spin like pin the tail on the bunny or Easter egg lawn bowls for your guests to enjoy. And to encourage a bit of friendly competition, Easter chocolate prizes can be handed out to the lucky winners.
Food & Beverages
No matter if you are looking to dish up some traditional Easter meals or serve up something entirely new, there’s loads of different food ideas worth trying.
When it comes to food prep for Easter, the following traditional foods are sure to be crowd pleasers:
- Honeyed ham
- Potato bake
- Macaroni and cheese
- Hot cross buns
- Roast lamb and veggies
- Chocolate eggs
- Easter bread
- Devilled eggs
- Easter Cookies
Looking for something a little bit different food-wise? Why not get creative with some mouth-watering delights including:
- Cake – any kind of cake for that matter. There’s loads to choose from including pavlova, sponge cake, chocolate cake and cheesecake. Simply add a couple of Easter decorations and viola! A personalised Easter dessert!
- Finger foods – from “chip and dip”, a cold meat platter to cheerios or your favourite cob loaf recipe – ordinary finger foods make for an easy to prepare treat that your guests are sure to enjoy- even with or without Easter themed decorations.
- Cocktail/Mocktails – have a bit of fun by serving up some easter bunny themed drinks like a bunny shot (from a chocolate bunny) or just about any hot or cold chocolate flavoured beverage.
Easter Decorations
When it comes to hosting a party, choosing the right kind of decorations to suit your theme while creating a fun party atmosphere for your guests is just half the fun!
When choosing decorations, be sure to get creative. Don’t forget to decorate both indoor and outdoor spaces at the party venue and incorporate the walls, serving table, drink station and the front door when considering places to add decorations to, and use Easter themed plates, cups and cutlery if you have them.
Also add decorative touches like pastel-coloured streamers and custom printed Easter balloons and where needed, use additional props like baskets, decorated eggs and fluffy yellow baby chicks to compliment your other decorations.
Crafts & Activities
Having an arts and crafts or activity station at your Easter get-together is a great way to keep the kids (and young at heart) occupied while giving them the perfect platform to unleash some creativity. Put out a dedicated table for everyone to sit at and lay out some bits and pieces for arts and crafts such as different coloured paper and cardboard, textas, craft glue, string, uncooked pasta, cotton balls, bright paints, small baskets, beads and stick on eyes.
Some ideas for crafty Easter activities include:
- Easter egg decorating
- Easter hat making
- Pom pom easter bunny artwork
- Pastel coloured pasta jewellery
- Easter basket decorating
Gifts
Don’t allow your guests to leave your Easter celebration empty handed! Add some small candied or chocolate Easter eggs, easter cookies, fairy floss bunny tails or bunny shaped lollies to party favour bags or small baskets for people to take home with them.
