Easter Party Ideas For The Perfect Holiday Celebration

If it's your turn to host the celebrations this year, it can be overwhelming when thinking about all the different Easter party ideas you can adopt in your hosting duties. There are many different ways to celebrate the chocolate-filled holiday. Let's have a look at our favourite easter party ideas to commemorate the occasion:

• The classic Easter Egg Hunt: Easter eggs are an iconic symbol of the holiday as are Easter egg hunts. This activity often includes hunting for chocolate easter eggs, hollow eggs filled with lollies or in some cases money. Hide eggs all around your home and backyard and have guests race around to collect as many eggs as possible! Just don't forget where you've hidden them all! Check out our article on everything you need for an Easter Egg hunt for inspiration and tips.
• A bonnet parade: Dating back centuries, Easter was also an opportunity for people to show off their best clothing. Adopt this tradition by having guests create their own bonnets, either at your Easter party or prior to your event, and take turns parading around your home in your new accessories.
• Easter craft night: Get creative and have your friends over to create a whole range of Easter-themed crafts. Check out our extensive range of free Easter projects and get crafting!
• Host an elegant sit-down meal: Simple but effective, hosting a sit-down meal whether that be an Easter breakfast, lunch or dinner will have guests bonding over a heartfelt meal. You can create a joyful Easter table setting that will form the heart of the celebrations in your home.

Prepare For Your Easter Meal With An Easter Table Setting

No matter your celebration, it's important for your guests to be well-fed. Whether that be a sit-down meal or an easily accessible snack table for guests to enjoy, you should also create a well-decorated Easter table setting to complement the celebrations.

Easter Table Setting Essentials You Need For Your Holiday Meal

Before we dive into the exciting Easter table decorations you can use in your table setting, there are a few essentials to think about when putting together your Easter table setting. While these are functional pieces at heart, they can also be used to bring a decorative touch to your mealtimes.

Protective and Aesthetically Pleasing Table Linen

Think of incorporating a floral easter tablecloth and table runner into your table setting. Table linen offers the perfect balance between aesthetic charm and practicality as they work to protect your dining table from mess, marks and spillages. They also form the perfect base to your easter table decorations.

Placemats are also a good idea for an additional layer of protection for your dining table and help to outline each place setting for your guests.

The Dining Essentials: Tableware, Servingware & Drinkware

Other essentials you should consider are of course tableware, servingware and drinkware! Think about what food you are serving to your guests and ensure you have the appropriate dinnerware needed for the meal. For example, if you're dishing up a main course with a side salad, its best to also set the table with a side plate for guests to easily enjoy their meal without worrying about their overflowing plate. It's also a good idea to set out all the cutlery each guest requires for your chosen meal.

Make sure everyone has something to drink too! Whether it's a garden tea party or an elegant lunch, shop our selection drinkware and glassware to find the best option for your Easter party.

Elevate Your Gathering With Easter Table Decorations

Here's where you'll want to include beloved Easter motifs like eggs and the Easter bunny - egg cups and bowls filled with chocolate eggs, faux grass rabbits and a gorgeous floral centrepiece are all fantastic ways to bring some Easter magic to your tablescape. For a more subtle decorative option, a small bowl of colourful, plastic Easter eggs is an iconic touch that exudes a simple yet effective Easter charm. If you're wanting to decorate with a more whimsical approach, think of non-traditional decorations such as white feather boas that can be displayed along the length of your table or even buckets filled with shredded tissue paper, resembling a chicken's nest.

You can go for a colourful look shopping for bright and vibrant decorations to contrast neutral-toned table linen or coordinate the look with an all-round colourful arrangement. There are so many possibilities out there!

How Should I Set My Table For Easter Celebrations?

Now that you've got both essentials and your Easter table decorations sorted, the fun part begins. There are many different approaches you can take. Needing inspiration? Follow these steps to create a gorgeous Easter table setting:

1. Create the perfect dining surface with a smooth, white tablecloth. White will allow the rainbow of pastel colours we are about to use to really stand out, as well as create a clean, crisp and modern look. Of course, if your dining table is already white, you can skip this step!
2. Next, create some texture on the table with your placemats and a table runner. There are a few options here - white or brown placemats provide a more neutral setting, or you can go for a faux-grass table runner down the middle to bring the excitement of an Easter egg hunt indoors. Or go for pastel blue placemats and a rattan table runner for a more picnic-esque look!
3. Cloth napkins are a must for any dining event - look for pastel pink, blue or green cloth napkins and bind them with a napkin ring for a little extra style. Your napkin ring can be white, metallic gold or silver, or even made from a material like hessian for a more rustic look.
4. Choose the plates and bowls you'll be using at the table. Kids will love using any of our Easter paper plates, which feature everything from simple flat colours to Easter bunny and flower patterns. If you'd like more formal dinnerware, then look through our dinner sets and dinnerware for white or pastel-coloured plates and bowls you can layer on your placemat.
5. Now for drinkware. Delicate tea sets will match the colour scheme and are great for Easter lunch, while wine and cocktail glasses are perfect for some more exciting drinks. And of course, we've got plenty of colourful paper cups for the kids in our party cups range!
6. The colours of Easter mean you'll need something a little more exciting than your standard stainless cutlery - look for matte gold cutlery for something that feels solid in your hand or shop for party cutlery in gold or pastel colours that you can dispose of once you're finished.
7. Now that you've got everything you need on your Easter table setting, it's time to add your Easter table decorations. Play around with the positioning of your decorations. A helpful tip is to make sure most decorations sit under eye-level so guests can easily talk to each other across the table.
