Easter Party Ideas For Kids And Families
There are many ways to celebrate Easter, but hosting a hoppy Easter party has to be our favorite! From Easter basket exchanges to Easter egg hunts, this springtime holiday is full of reasons to gather with family and friends.
We’ve rounded up our favorite Easter party ideas and decorations for a springtime fête your kids will love! With these pretty pastels and tasty treat options, any-bunny can host a fun Easter party (especially when you add some of these brilliant Easter basket ideas to the mix!) So without further ado, let’s hop to it!
EASTER DECORATIONS
When it comes to kids' Easter party decorations, stick with the two B’s (bunnies and balloons!) Pop Park City created this fabulous balloon backdrop featuring an array of pastel hues.
While we can’t resist a bold backdrop, they’re not an Easter-bash requirement. A simple balloon bouquet with an Easter balloon or two will bring more than enough egg-citement to any Easter gathering. As long as your decor is colorful and reminiscent of the season, you’ll be all set!
Since Easter Sunday usually includes a meal, it’s best to focus most of your decorating efforts on the tablescape. Fresh flowers are a Spring staple, so we had Shawn from Flower Bar Co arrange this bright bouquet for our centerpiece.
This adorable Easter bunny bucket made the perfect vessel. In fact, any basket filled with flowers is a fabulous and easy Easter table centerpiece idea.
TABLE SETTINGS
Pretty place settings go a long way, even if you’re just planning to set the table for Easter morning breakfast. We recommend layering plates for a beautifully curated setting. (More plates mean more helpings of that delicious Easter party food!)
We alternated a bunny-shaped plate with an Easter basket-shaped plate for each setting. Mixing and matching is our favorite, especially when the Easter party supplies are too cute to narrow down!
FUN EASTER ACTIVITIES & ACCESSORIES
Most Easter activities consist of dyeing eggs or searching for them. And while those Easter games are always egg-citing, it doesn’t hurt to shake things up a bit. We suggest tying in a costume element, even if it’s just some simple bunny ears, to level up the fun!
Accessories make Easter egg hunts even more exciting, so make sure to include a hoppy hunt at your party. After all, the more you feel like a bunny, the easier it’ll be to find every last egg!
If you want to switch things up a bit, try an Easter basket scavenger hunt! Instead of filling your little bunnies’ baskets with candy, fill them with clues instead. Give each child an empty basket and send them off on a scavenger hunt around your house or yard.
The clues should lead them to their baskets, which can be filled with goodies when they’re done. If you need some filler inspiration, take a peep at our Easter gifts and Easter basket ideas for kids here!
If you’re looking for something new to do with your little bunnies, consider an Easter cookie-decorating party.
Frosting and decorating Easter cookies is much easier to coordinate and clean up than dying and decorating eggs. It’s also something that every-bunny (both kids and adults) can enjoy.
EASTER TREATS
An Easter activity that doubles as dessert? Yes, please! As with every candy-coated holiday, Easter gatherings call for a spread of sweet treats. So, we suggest serving a variety of desserts alongside your DIY sugar cookies.
Pink-frosted Easter cupcakes are a great choice because your party guests can decorate them, too!
We topped our cupcakes off with a pastel sprinkle mix and used the liners from this Easter cupcake kit. If you’re planning to explore even more Easter baking endeavors, we suggest grabbing a decorating kit. It’s perfect for adding a dash of Springtime charm to your cakes, cookies, and other Easter desserts.
Alternatively, sweet and tangy treats like lemon meringue tartlets and macarons are great for Spring brunches. You can also never go wrong with an Easter cake!
We suggest coordinating the colors of your desserts with your party palette for a chic, curated feel.
Feel free to take it a step further and match your Easter cake to your Easter party supplies! Display it on a cake stand alongside some cute bite-sized sweets for the perfect Easter dessert spread.
We hope we’ve put a spring in your step, and inspired you to throw an Easter party this year. With these fun ideas, you can be sure that your Easter festivities will be full of excitement for the whole family.
