Ideas for Hosting the Perfect Easter Party

Easter is a great time to get together with friends and family to celebrate. If it’s your turn to host an Easter get-together this year, read on for a few helpful tips to help you with hosting the perfect Easter party.

An Easter Menu

The food is an important part of any party. For an Easter party you could opt for traditional Easter dishes and treats (like devilled eggs, hot cross buns, roasted ham, or lamb, for example) and serve up a feast for your guests or you could opt for a potluck dinner party style event where everyone brings something for you all to share as a buffet.

Desserts and Treats

All good parties have dessert. Easter is the perfect opportunity to provide a colourful spread of beautifully decorated cakes, cookies, and other treats for your guests. All decorated for the occasion of course! Classics include carrot cake or Simnel cake, but you can have fun exploring new recipes too, of course, like these Easy No Bake Easter Popcorn treats that are perfect for children. If in doubt, anything decorated with chocolate eggs instantly becomes Easter themed – easy!

Easter Decorations

Whether you’re having your Easter party inside or in the garden, decorate the space with pastel colours that celebrate spring and festive Easter-themed decorations such as eggs and bunnies. Fresh flowers in bright, cheerful colours are also perfect for Easter.

Entertainment for the Little Ones

If there are children coming to your Easter party, then planning some Easter-themed activities for them is a wonderful way to ensure that they are having fun and are happy. Below are some ideas that kids love:

• Easter Egg Hunts: Easter would not be complete without an Easter egg hunt of course. Organise an egg hunt in your garden if the weather allows and watch the children who will be full of excitement as they search for the hidden treats.
• Easter Crafting: Most kids love crafting so set up an area with some craft supplies for them to enjoy. They could decorate wooden eggs with paint, pompoms, stickers, sequins, etc. or perhaps make some DIY bunny ears, for example. Check Pinterest for some fun Easter craft ideas. A crafting station like this will provide a fun activity for children and also give them some souvenirs to take home after the party.
• Easter-themed games: If you are hosting a party, it’s always good to be prepared with some games for your guests to play. For children, games like a sack race or a bunny hop race is a great way for them to use up some energy! There are lots of amazing games that can be played with an Easter twist. Again, check Pinterest for full guides about this to find something that will suit your space and the age of your guests.
