Easter Party Ideas

The date of Easter varies from year to year, but it always takes place on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox. Easter always occurs around the start of spring, so decorations include bright pastels and festive florals. Eggs are an integral part of most Easter celebrations, signifying rebirth and fertility, as well as the empty tomb when Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day.

Easter Party Activities

If you're planning an Easter party, the first thing to do is decide who you want to invite. When your party includes children, you'll probably want to incorporate some Easter activities for kids. These might include arts and crafts projects, Easter games such as themed Bingo, an egg and spoon race, or a dance party with the "Bunny Hop." Your guests, even the younger ones, might come in their Easter finest, so skip anything that involves paint.

An Easter egg hunt is always a favorite activity for kids of all ages. Simply hide plastic eggs filled with candy, stickers, and other small prizes throughout the home and yard and let the kids find them. If you have younger children attending, you might want to separate the search areas to give them more of a chance. It's also fun to include a golden egg, which might contain some money or a gift card, to add a little extra excitement to the egg hunt.

Easter Party Menu

There are some traditional menu items served at many Easter parties, although what your menu includes is certainly up to you and your guests. Many people choose to serve ham and potatoes, although turkey is another popular main dish. Start the party with classic hors d'oeuvres such as deviled eggs, fruit, crackers and cheese, and hot cross buns.

If you're hosting an Easter brunch, make sure to include eggs as one of the main staples, since they are a major part of the festivities. Hard boiled eggs, quiche, or just classic scrambled eggs are all favorites, and will pair well with bacon, sausage, hash browns, and bread.
