Easter is fast approaching! It’s a time of new beginnings, hope, and life — and a time to get together and celebrate with friends and family. This Easter, you’ve got more than just an egg or two up your sleeve. With these 12 creative Easter party ideas, you can throw a unique Easter event that’s memorable for all ages. 

1. Find a springy party venue

2. Make a festive garland 

While your party venue might look beautiful enough on its own, a little extra Easter cheer never hurt anyone. One of our favorite ways to do this is with a handmade Easter garland or wreath. 

There’s a ton of opportunity to get creative here – like hanging up burlap bunnies, felt carrots, or eggs made from colorful yarn. Or, if you’re feeling lazy, you could hang up a faux greenery garland with pastel flowers. It’s simple Easter party ideas like this that also elevate your venue. 

3. Try crafting wax eggs 

While you know how to make easter eggs with dipping dyes, there’s more than one way to fry an egg — or, in this case, decorate one. 

With melted beeswax and a mini funnel, you can create some seriously cool and intricate designs on your easter eggs. If you’ve never tried this method, this is the perfect excuse to try it out. And even if you don’t end up with Instagram-worthy eggs, you’ll still have fun making them with your friends!

4. Frost Easter egg sugar cookies

Don’t feel like decorating real eggs? That’s totally cool. Why not decorate some Easter egg sugar cookies instead? 

You and your guests can let your creative side shine through colorful frosting and sprinkles.  And when you’re done, you can see if your creations taste as good as they look. 

5. Decorate an “egg tree” 

Who says that decorating trees is just for Christmas? Try putting an Easter spin on this classic pastime by decorating a mini tree with Easter eggs. It’s a cute Easter party idea to keep the kids occupied. Plus, it makes for an adorable party decoration when it’s done! 

6. Host an Easter brunch 

Of all the possible meals of the day, lunch is definitely one of the better ones. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory, making it ideal for an Easter gathering with your loved ones. 

Fun Easter brunch recipe ideas for the menu include asparagus and goat cheese quiche, strawberry Caprese salad, or savory huevos rancheros. 

If you don’t feel like cooking a brunch spread yourself, not to worry. You’ve got an extra ace up your sleeve if you booked your party venue with Peerspace — your venue’s friendly and helpful host. They can connect you with a caterer, along with anything else you might need for an awesome party – like extra tables and chairs or A/V equipment for party music. It’s just one more reason why booking your venue with Peerspace is a no-brainer. 

7. Serve up carrot cake 

Even at brunch, parties need treats. It’s just a fact. And what better party treat for an Easter party than a bunny-approved carrot cake? 

If you don’t want a full-fledged cake at your party, try incorporating the flavors into other treats instead – like carrot cake cinnamon rolls, or frosted carrot cake bars. It’s an Easter party idea that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth on-theme. 

8. Mix up “Bunny Mary’s” 

While the kids snack on their carrot cake goodies, the adults at your party could use a little treat, too. 

One fun way to do this is by putting an Easter spin on a classic cocktail – the Bloody Mary, AKA the “Bunny Mary.” To make a “Bunny Mary” you just need to replace tomato juice with carrot juice. Easy peasy! It’s a simple substitution that makes for an awesome Easter-themed cocktail. Plus, the orange color looks adorable in pictures!

9. Upgrade your egg hunt

It’s not Easter without an egg hunt. But you can make yours extra special with added twists like: 

• Hiding glow-in-the-dark or ultraviolet eggs. – Turn off the lights and follow the glow to find your eggs. 
• Hiding puzzle pieces inside the eggs – when all the eggs all found, you can build the puzzle together. 
• Hiding dollar bills in eggs – Candy might not interest adults or teens at your party. But cold hard cash is a little different. 

You get the idea. With simple little upgrades, you can stage a memorable Easter event that’s sure to get your guests talking.

10. Race in an egg relay 

Want more party activities than just egg hunts and decorations? Try hosting a spoon relay with your eggs instead! 

It might look simple, but it takes serious concentration to hold your egg steady while you race against competitors. If you want to up the stakes, try handing out a prize to the winner, like a special golden egg filled with coupons

11. Or try a sack race 

Here’s another cute Easter party game idea. Host a sack race for your guests, where you have to “bunny hop” across the finish line. It’s cute for kids — especially if you hand out rabbit ear headbands for them to wear. 

But who are we to judge if any adults wanted to join in the fun? After all, they make rabbit ear headbands in adult sizes, too. 

12. Have fun at an Easter carnival

Last but not least, if you really want to capture fun and games at your Easter party, try transforming it into an Easter carnival with fun games and booths. 

Set up DIY carnival booths where your guests can try their luck — with an Easter twist. Instead of a beanbag toss, try tossing plastic eggs instead, or paint your box to look like a rabbit. You get the idea. Now it’s up to you to make it your own. 

It’s one of the most adorable Easter party ideas sure to make for an unforgettable day of springtime fun.
