Fun and Easy Easter Party Idea
If you are not having a formal Easter dinner, why not plan a fun and entertaining Easter day outdoors? You can easily gather a large group of family and friends and have a great time celebrating Easter, all without spending a fortune.
Here is my recipe for a simple and memorable Easter afternoon.
1.
Gather at a park or someone's home that has a large yard.
Make sure there is enough space for little ones to run around, play games, and collect Easter eggs.
Try and pick a central location if possible, to make it convenient for everyone.
IF you are hosting this at a park, take their restrooms into consideration- you probably want to make sure they have some.
2.
Send out no-fuss invitation that includes all the necessary details.
Keep the invites simple by making a flyer-styled invite.
Include all the info about the event (when, where, etc).
You might want to consider making your time in the middle of the day that way others can still attend their traditional Easter gatherings wither in the morning or evening.
If you are inviting a large group (and your EggStravaganza) will be outdoors, I suggest you include a "rain disclosure.
" Just type something like "If it rains, the event will be cancelled.
" This will prevent you from having to make tons of phone calls Easter morning should the weather not cooperate.
3.
Skip the formal dinner and have a potluck instead.
You can avoid spending a fortune by not doing everything yourself.
Let family and friends know what you'll provide (like the ham for example), and ask everyone else to bring a side or dessert.
You can even note on the flyer for families to bring their own drinks to make it even easier for you.
4.
A fun egg hunt! Easter would not be complete without little ones scrambling through the grass in search of plastic eggs.
If you have a wide variety of children, consider having two different egg hunts so that the little ones don't get trampled.
Separating the ages will also allow you to make sure little kids get age-appropriate goodies in the eggs as well.
5.
Games- Think egg toss, sack races, hula hoop contest...
just keep it fun! Make sure to get the adult involved as well, they might be reluctant but they will all end up having a great time.
You can even pair up children and adults with games like egg toss or relay races.
Make sure to hand out age appropriate prizes after the games are over.
If you plan on making your Easter EggStravaganza an annual event like I do, ask each family to bring with them one package of un-filled Easter eggs.
This will allow you to replenish your stock after Easter is over and you will be all set for next year's fun! You can also get others involved by asking their input on fun and entertaining games and crafts to include.
