by Lata Singh and Liz Grisham

You don’t need to bend over backward to throw a great Easter Party!

Here at LYFETYMES, we will be sharing some easy DIY Easter Planning options and services that can help you plan the party, decor, food, activities, Easter Baskets and create a Virtual Party for friends and family to join.

It’s not the size of the Celebration, it’s who you Celebrate with- Get your “Peeps” together!

Although 2020 has put many celebrations on hold or TBD. At LYFETYMES, we are committed to helping friends and family connect and celebrate. Having the ability to maintain those traditions we cherish with the family is important so we are all learning to adapt to how we celebrate because some milestones and Holidays can’t or won’t be rescheduled.

Stay Close, Even When You're Apart

Great news, is you can still throw a great At-Home party or celebration even if it is smaller than a usual gathering. We've made it super easy to create and share Virtual Parties on LYFETYMES, The All-In-One Party Planner, with free Celebration Websites that you can SMS, email, and share on Facebook. Stay connected and get the word out about your Virtual Party on Zoom, or live events on Facebook Live and YouTube Live.

Stay Close, Even When You're Apart

A virtual Easter party is a perfect opportunity to invite family and friends to celebrate, share well wishes and most importantly connect with one another.

Whether you are having a small At-Home Easter Celebration, a virtual party or both, Easter is the perfect excuse to have a party.

Delicious brunch food, Easter-filled baskets, lavish flowers, bright colors, fun crafts and games, and dare we say, undecided weather. As any good planner or mom knows, throwing a celebration to remember isn't as simple as waving your magic wand.

Pulling off an Egg'stra special party requires thoughtful arrangement, some thoughtful food prep, creative decorations and yep, even some crafty party games and activities to keep everyone, including antsy toddlers, entertained! After all, there's so much more to a Hoppy Easter Party than the bunny hop. The Egg'stra Special has distinctive details, like amusing centerpieces, activities that go way beyond color me happy, thoughtful take-home gifts, and elevated table decor. 

Is your head Hippity Hoppity yet?

Deep breath—we've got you covered.

Whether you have a small gathering or a big virtual family affair, throwing an Easter party is no small task. You can DIY and plan with our amazing free party planning tools on LYFETYMES or head to the LYFETYMES Vendor Marketplace for help planning, and styling your event. For the family & friends that can’t attend in person, LYFETYMES makes it easier to plan your event from curating decor, customizing your party website, and getting all of your virtual party links set up, so you can easily live-stream the kids’ Easter egg hunt and share it later when the day comes!

EGGS-Cellent Easter Decor

Decorations and FUN are key to a viewing party and keeping viewers engaged so they’re not just witnessing the third meltdown over stolen cake. Gorgeous shimmer walls, garland, balloons, and fun activities like watching the kids put together their carrot balloon animals and partaking in the traditional Easter egg hunt will be sure to put a smile on the faces of all your family and friends viewing. One of our party experts’ favorites are the Hoppity Easter Balloon Garland below and can be purchased here.

We also love these small budget-friendly at-home party sets designed by local artists for up to 10 people. We have a number of easy At-Home Party Sets that can be sent directly to your front door.

At- Home Easter Activities

We wanted to share and show some of our favorite indoor and backyard activities for Easter that the kids are sure to enjoy and make great memories.

One of the most popular traditional family Easter activities is the Easter egg hunt.  These days, it's the perfect excuse to get outside and use a little creativity! Plot a hunt that’s small-but-spirited for the little ones and if you are having a virtual party, keep your viewers engaged by allowing them to participate as well.

Setting up a kids station to keep the little ones occupied while the adults have a bit of time to catch up, allows you to get some screen time for yourself. Stocking it with activities like Easter arts and crafts and egg painting will keep the little ones busy. Studies show that slime has been linked to stress relief, so why not set up a slime- friendly station where the kids can make their own Easter-inspired slime. Below are some great visual ideas of activities for a fun-filled Easter.

Now let’s get comfy and grab some wine! Whether you prefer the Innovative digital party planning tools on LYFETYMES or prefer to collaborate 1:1 with your Hostessy party expert, we are here every step of the way to help organize everything you need, making preparing for Easter stress-free!

Or, just fill a glass bowl with Easter candy for a super simple centerpiece.

Easter Egg Cookie Decorating

What's an Easter party without awesome desserts? It's such a great activity for all ages! Much like many families bake and decorate cookies during the Christmas holidays, Easter egg cookies are just as fun! It keeps the little ones busy and also serves as a great parting gift. Easily whip up adorable egg-shaped cookies with this cookie cutter set.

Easter Egg Basket Decorating

This is a great DIY project to keep kids busy while creating something unique that they can use! Baskets don’t need to be fancy or heavy duty (especially since most eggs are plastic with lightweight coins or candy inside).

You can use white paper bags and set up all the trimmings to decorate. Once again corral the kids and keep them busy, And it's an adorable keepsake for parents of an art craft created by their kids!

Easter Egg Golden Ticket Game

Here's an Easter activity that's fun for both kids and adults! Fill one of the plastic eggs with a golden ticket and the child who finds it wins a prize. Have a special prize for kids (candy would be a popular choice!) or a nice bottle of wine for the adults to win.

Whoever finds the golden ticket wins the prize!

Easter Egg Relay Race

We love this idea to reduce the frustration (and panic!) of not finding eggs in a big group of egg hunters! Instead of every man for himself, why not split the kids into teams (evenly matched of course) and have a member from each team search for an egg. Once they've found an egg, they come back and tag the next teammate — just like a traditional relay race!

The kids still have the fun of an Easter egg hunt, but less pressure!

Toddler's First Easter Egg Hunt

I think we can all agree that a toddler's first Easter egg hunt is probably more for the parents than the kids! Because they're kind of clueless as to what they're supposed to do, parents usually end up leading the child to find the egg.

Here's a solution: if you have a younger kids, tie a balloon to the eggs so they little ones can have fun “hunting” and easily identify their target. They'll probably still think they're "balloon hunting", but they'll have a blast, and parents can get their Easter photo opps ;)

Easter Egg Decorating

What would Easter be without some Easter egg decorating? Buy a kit to dye eggs, or (for a less messy option) let the kids hand decorate them with markers, stickers, and more! This inexpensive and festive activity will build memories for years!

Easter Themed Coloring Pages and Word Searches

A quiet way to corral the kids while you entertain is with Easter themed coloring pages and word searches. You can make a custom word search here! And there are plenty of free printable coloring page sites that you can find with a simple google search.  Here's one for Easter themed coloring pages.
