It’s that time of year again! Every store is full of traditional Easter candy and plastic eggs. If you are considering hosting an Easter party this spring consider a unique twist on the familiar egg hunt. Try some of these ideas to keep your guests hopping!
Food
Before determining what food you will serve at your Easter party, consider how many guests, their ages, and the time of the event. A candy bar would be a simple yet stunning centerpiece, using clear jars or vases filled with Easter candy. Use Easter shaped cookie cutters to create mini sandwiches. A tray with carrots as the prominent vegetable is certainly appropriate. Make or order a cake or cupcakes created to look like a rabbits or chicks. Readily available Easter candy items, such as Marshmallow Peeps, lend themselves to a variety of edible dessert creations.
Decorations
Decorations are easy for Easter parties. Baskets filled with eggs are a simple way to fill space. Spring flowers will add a beautiful touch to any table. Use spring colors and any symbols of the Easter season to set the perfect scene.
Games
Games can involve symbols of Easter, including an egg toss, pin the tail on the bunny, or Easter bingo. Instead of hiding regular eggs stuffed with candy, fill the eggs with puzzle pieces that children must put together to solve. Have a building contest with toothpicks and jelly beans, awarding a prize to the most creative structure. Host an egg scavenger hunt, where children follow clues and collect items that lead them to an ultimate prize. Keep the egg hunt fair by assigning each child a particular color to find. Another option would be to have children find eggs with letters that must spell out their name or another word of your choice. For a unique nighttime idea, pass out the flashlights and let your guests hunt for eggs that have been stuffed with glow sticks. Eggs can be stuffed with many different items to fit the theme, game, or age of the children involved.
Spring is in the air and Easter is early this year! With a little creativity and planning, you can host the perfect Easter party for your family and friends.
