Outdoor essentials
Since your party is taking place outside, you need to think about how to make people comfortable. While sitting on the floor is likely good enough for the children, any accompanying adults will need to sit on chairs. Similarly, you’ll need tables to hold food, drinks and crockery.
These essential furnishings don’t need to break the bank, as long as you work out how you’ll pay for them far enough in advance. The main thing is to plan your budget and decide what you can afford.
Easter-themed food
An Easter-themed party calls for Easter-themed food. Whether you want to serve bunny cakes, indulgent chocolatey deserts, or variations on the perennial hot cross bun, a few Easter treats are sure to get your guests in the right mood.
Look up some Easter recipes ahead of time. You might even want to make and taste them before serving them to your guests. The same applies to any food you buy from the shops. Be sure to check whether your guests have any allergies beforehand.
Easter egg hunt
Keep the kids occupied with this topical game that’s fun for everyone. Make things fair by assigning colours, or if the eggs are different sizes, assign each child an equal quota.
For smaller children, place the eggs in obvious places. On the other hand, larger kids will want a harder challenge. Leave written messages, riddles, and clues, arranged to lead players from smaller eggs to larger ones.
Decorations
Decorations are the finishing touches to complete your party. You shouldn’t overspend on them, though. After all, the season doesn’t last long. Instead, you can DIY Easter decorations using thrifty materials.
There are so many cute and simple ways to decorate your home using everyday materials. Be creative and don’t forget to incorporate plenty of spring colours to imbue your home with the perfect Easter vibe.
Easter parties should be affordable and fun. Follow our tips above to host an Easter garden party that’s perfect for both your guests and your bank account.
