TOP 10 PETER RABBIT PARTY IDEAS
Peter Rabbit’s charming illustrations and whimsical tales make it a darling theme for an Easter party, kid's birthday, or baby shower! There are so many ways to bring this adorable storybook to life in the most Pinterest-perfect way. So let's hop to it, and break down the top ten best Peter Rabbit-themed party ideas!
1. STORYBOOK INVITATIONS
Just like every good story begins with an enticing introduction, every good party starts with an enticing invitation! We leaned into the theme and modeled our Peter Rabbit party invitations to look like a page straight out of the classic Beatrix Potter book.
We recommend including elements of the classic tale into your invitations, and hand-lettering addresses to complete the timeless look. We especially love how sweet and innocent this aesthetic looks for an adorable Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower!
2. Green scenery
Nothing suits a Peter Rabbit party quite like a green garden backdrop. So have your spring-themed celebration outside! It's the best place for adventuring, and playing all those Peter Rabbit-themed party games.
If throwing an inside fête, be sure to include lots of florals, foliage, and earthy elements in your decor choices. This is especially key if you're planning a Peter Rabbit tea party! To really play up the springtime look, try draping greenery inside and around woven baskets. And don't forget the carrots! We decorated with oversized paper mache carrots, so break out the craft supplies and get creative!
3. EASTER BASKET BOUQUETS
Floral bouquets are always a good idea, especially for Springtime celebrations. We love the look of an arrangement inside of an Easter basket to tie into the Peter Rabbit theme. For flower types and colors, we recommend sticking with lots of pastels, and adding pops of orange and violet.
We put our bouquet in this stunning cracked egg basket, and topped it with a gingham Easter flag. Not only does it make a lovely centerpiece for a Peter Rabbit brunch, you can also reuse the basket and flag for an Easter gift!
4. STORYBOOK DECOR
If you want your guests to be immersed in the magical world of Peter Rabbit, consider decorating with the book! This adorable hanging mobile decoration is a DIY dream that can be hung in a baby’s nursery post-party. Craft one yourself out of an old copy of the book for the prettiest Peter Rabbit party decoration!
For something a bit simpler, but just as fun and hoppy, embellish your party space (or even the front of a high chair) with this charming character garland. (The die cutting here in the likeness of the characters is just too cute!)
5. POWDER BLUE ACCENTS
When we think of Easter colors, we usually gravitate toward pastels, and of course, light pink. But there’s something so aesthetically pleasing about adding powder blue to the mix, especially since it’s the color worn by Peter Rabbit himself in the classic tales.
We set our table with the most immaculate powder blue tablecloth and embellished with glassware in the same hue. We also incorporated these fantastic blue melamine egg dishes and plaid napkins to further complement the egg-cellent setting.
6. RABBIT-THEMED HOMEWARE
One of our favorite aspects of this Peter Rabbit party is the elevated glassware elements. We adore this pair of glass rabbits, and how wonderful they look as an Easter decoration all season long. We filled ours with blue and green saltwater taffy, but they’d look just as darling filled with any kind of Easter candy or fresh produce!
We also included this charming little bunny made for serving crackers. These homeware elements are a staple for Springtime brunches and Easter gatherings, but they’re just as fitting to incorporate into a Peter Rabbit party any time of year.
7. PETER RABBIT PAPERWARE
We love Meri Meri’s Peter Rabbit party supplies, so we recommend setting your table with these Peter Rabbit party plates and napkins. For a more elevated tablescape, layer each paper piece with some white dishes, gold cutlery, and blue glasses.
Our favorite part of this tableware set has to be the rabbit shaped plates.They're incredibly detailed, so they also make an excellent decoration when propped up or strung as a DIY banner.
If you prefer a setting with a bit more color, swap in our Sweet Carrot Easter Napkins! We love how whimsical they look paired with a striped yellow table runner and a die-cut carrot napkin.
8. FOOD FIT FOR A BUNNY
Don't know where to start with Peter Rabbit themed party food? We've got you! Every-bunny loves a good charcuterie board, so we recommend curating one with lots of farm fresh veggies.
As for other munchies, we included some poppy seed crackers, fluffy breadsticks, and hard boiled eggs. All of which wash down wonderfully with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.
9. TINY TASTY TREATS
Another tasty option is mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. These are ideal if you're planning a Peter Rabbit birthday party for kids.
We added themed cake toppers to ours for an extra playful touch. And let's be honest, PB&J isn't just for the little bunnies. So don't be afraid to make a few other kinds of finger sandwiches for the adults, too. We think some mini cucumber sandwiches would be a fabulous idea for a Peter Rabbit baby shower!
Another sweet treat must-have for any bunny-themed party is chocolate-covered strawberries. Orange chocolate-covered strawberries, to be specific. Add a little orange food coloring to melted white chocolate or purchase orange chocolate melts for a delicious dessert that looks like a carrot!
We think every party needs a cake, so we try to include one in all of our celebrations. A sweet birthday cake with flower and character details would be stunning for a Peter Rabbit 1st birthday party!
If you're not up to baking and decorating a Peter Rabbit cake, go for something a little simpler, but just as scrumptious. Classic carrot cake is ideal for spring parties, so we picked up some lovely individual carrot cakes and served them on these adorable carrot napkins. Bon Appetit!
10. A SWEET SEND-OFF
The secret to the perfect party is sending your guests home with their hands full, and their hearts hoppy!
We suggest sending them home with an Easter basket full of goodies and basket stuffers. These traditional wicker baskets are an Easter classic, and we filled ours with some adorable plush rabbits and surprise balls. This would make a wonderful gift for a little bunny’s first or second birthday, or a mama bunny’s baby shower.
We hope you’ve been all ears to our tips and tricks, and feel prepared to throw a wonderful Peter Rabbit themed birthday party, baby shower, or springtime celebration. For more Peter Rabbit party ideas, shop the rest of our collection, here!
