The basic characteristics of an Easter theme party are pretty traditional: Easter bunnies, Easter eggs, more Easter bunnies and a ton of chocolates, strategically sprinkled all over your pastel-palette decorated venue. Then of course there is the hearty food, shared by a close-knit group of family and friends.
But, for an extra special day, here are some fun Easter theme ideas that you can pull off with or without renting décor:
Balloon garden
Choose helium balloons that suits your event’s colour theme. Weight them down by tying them to a parcel of chocolates/sweets, and spread them out across the garden for a marvellous balloon garden.
Sweet treat décor
This is the one time of the year that you really have an excuse to go all out with sweet treats. Use this opportunity to make a stunning centre piece table with all your sweet treats.
Food for character
If you already have a different plan for displaying and serving your sweet treats, remember that your main entrée also presents a good décor opportunity. Choose a recipe that you can plate in such a way that it creates a cute Easter character. A cinnamon bunny bread recipe, for example, is a great first idea. And who said you can’t have waffles for mains?
Turn it into sweet land
So maybe you liked sweet treat décor and food for character, but you already have a different plan for both of them? Well then, just fill the rest of your home up with more subtle, inexpensive sweet treat décor. CountryLiving has some great ideas, from jelly bean trees and Easter candy jars to Easter blossom sugar cookies and flower pot hummus dip.
Outdoor is the new indoor
Create an entire outdoor garden theme, even if you are hosting your Easter party indoors. You can accomplish this very easily. All you need is a splendid selection of flowers, arranged neatly on tables, hanging in pretty jars from door frames, on windowsills- anywhere you can, really! You can also use tissue paper to make grass and use it as a centre piece on the meal table.
Make the brightness pop
No matter what you end up doing with your colour, themes and décor, finish your party picture off with dainty fairy light. You can arrange these on the table, in dry flower jars, around the sweet treat table or in and around the garden. Either way, fairy lights are sure to tie the party décor together with a pretty, warm touch.
