Easter is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your Easter party! Whether you’re hosting a small gathering with family or throwing a larger event with friends, there are plenty of ways to celebrate this springtime holiday.

Decorations

First things first, it’s time to get your Easter decorations ready! Think pastel colors, bunnies, and eggs. You can start with a festive tablecloth and add some bunny-themed plates and napkins. For a centerpiece, you could create an Easter tree by hanging decorated eggs from branches or a bouquet of fresh spring flowers. 

Easter Egg Hunt

No Easter party is complete without an egg hunt! Hide plastic eggs filled with candy and small toys around your yard or home. You can create clues to make the search more challenging for older kids or adults. Be sure to have extra treats for those who may not find as many eggs. If you’re hosting an adults-only Easter celebration, you can hide the eggs in more challenging places and add prizes like lottery tickets, cash, or gift cards. 

Easter Gift Baskets

Easter gift baskets are a great way to show loved ones you care. You can create your own baskets by filling them with candy, small toys, and other Easter-themed goodies. If you don’t have time to make your own, you can have a delicious Easter gift basket delivered to your doorstep. Filled with gourmet meats, cheeses, and wines, Hickory Farms has an excellent variety of gift baskets to make your loved ones feel special. Add a special Easter greeting for a personal touch to this holiday.

Food and Drinks

Food and drinks are essential to any party, and Easter is no exception. You can serve quiches, fresh fruit, and pastries for a brunch-style party. For a more casual gathering, you could set up a sandwich bar with a variety of bread, meats, cheeses, and toppings.

Easter-themed desserts are always a hit, from candy to cupcakes. You can make bunny-shaped cookies or cupcakes with pastel-colored frosting at home. Another option is to create a festive Easter cake with colorful layers and decorations. Of course, be sure to include plenty of candy to go around. 

For drinks, you could serve mimosas or a fruity punch for adults. For the kids, try making a fun and festive Easter-themed drink, like a virgin strawberry daiquiri. Keep it refreshing and fruity to fit with the spring season theme. 

Activities

Aside from the Easter egg hunt, you can plan plenty of other activities for your Easter party. You could set up a crafting station where guests can make Easter-themed crafts, like paper bunnies or egg ornaments. You and your party can collect flowers, twigs, and leaves to create spring wreaths. 

Another fun activity is to have a photo booth set up with Easter-themed props. Guests can take pictures with bunny ears, egg-shaped glasses, and other festive accessories. Create a colorful background and Easter-themed props with your DIY photo booth. 

If you’re hosting a larger gathering, you could set up a game area with lawn games, like cornhole or giant Jenga. Backyard games are a great way to get everyone involved and in the party mood. 

With a bit of planning and preparation, your Easter party will surely be a hit. There are plenty of ways to make your party festive and fun, from decorations to activities. You can find more ideas for DIY crafts and activities online to make your party unique. Remember to have fun and enjoy the company of your guests. Happy Easter!
