Ahhh, Spring. A time when we can finally step out into a bit warmer temperatures and savor the sights and smells of blossoming flowers, sprouting leaves, and scrumptious brunch food. Spring also means that Easter is just right around the corner, which calls for a celebration for new beginnings and renewal.
If you’re excited about hosting family and friends once again for a garden party or an outdoor picnic for Easter, then you might be looking to spruce up your party into something more playful than just a basic egg hunt.
We’ve been an Easter catering purveyor for a while now so we at Legacy are quite proud of the brilliant ideas we’ve gathered on how to level up your Easter gathering or any Spring event and make it memorable for everyone, not just for the kids, but also for those young at heart.
Have an Easter egg decorating activity
Give the children something educational yet engaging by having an Easter egg decorating activity with them before you hide out all the eggs. This allows the kids to unleash their creativity and also feel a sense of ownership into the whole gathering because they knew they helped out in making all the Easter eggs look prettier.
Serve your guests your own Spring-themed cocktail
You’ll want to toast much to your family’s and friend’s good health and joy when you serve them your own cocktails or mocktails with a literal taste of Spring. From a Mixed Berry Sangria to a Cucumber Gin Fizz to a Rhubarb Lemonade Slush, there are so many fruity liquor Spring-themed concoctions you can experiment with for a great bottoms up session.
Swap Easter cookie baskets with other guests
There’s something totally delectable about Easter cookies and what better way to enjoy them all than by asking guests to bring a basket of these goodies each and then doing a cookie swap at the Easter party? Not only will your guests get to bring home these delicious cookies, it also makes for a fun, interactive gathering with everybody else.
Plant some seeds in small buckets
To make your Easter outdoor party even more memorable, why not do a planting activity with your family and friends so that all of you can literally begin a new life for a potted plant that grows well in Spring? You can easily prepare a stack of small pots or buckets, potting soil, compact rakes or shovels, and seeds from these types of potted plants that are ideal for the Spring climate.
