Planning the Perfect Easter Celebration
2
Easter is just around the corner which means
its the perfect excuse for celebrations. This
event has originated from the resurrection
of Christ but has recently become a celebration
of new beginnings and new life (and lots of
chocolate!). Carry on reading to find out how
you can turn your house into an Easter paradise
and make the most out of the occasion!

• Egg Painting - Get one or two hard boiled eggs
  for each guest (and
• yourself) and let all your creative skills go
  wild.

• Egg Rolling - Once everyone has painted their
  eggs, the traditional egg rolling contest can
  take place, where
• everyone rolls their egg down a hill and the
  first one that reaches the
• finish line (without breaking) is the winner!
• Easter Crafts - From decorating bonnets to
  making rabbit masks with paper plates, there are
  many different crafts for the adults and
  children to get involved with.

Decorating the House The first step to providing
a great event for all your family and friends to
remember, is to create the perfect atmosphere!
Whether you want to keep it sweet and simple or
go all out, there are many ideas you can choose
from. Eggs, rabbits and chicks are usually seen
everywhere around Easter time as a symbol of new
life, so why not interpret them into your home?
If you have already decided on a room that your
event will take place, is there room for any
hanging decorations? Are the walls looking a
little bit empty? Or could you even try out some
new light shades for the Spring? With a little
imagination and creativity, you are sure to
achieve a beautiful Easter themed wonderland.
Easter Dishes While the little ones are running
around searching for eggs or making Easter
themed crafts, you can offer your older guests
some delicious yet simple treats to enjoy and
relax with.
Brunch Ideas
Entertaining Family and Guests A key part to your
event, is keeping all your family, friends and
guests entertained. No matter how young or old
they may be, a little entertainment throughout
the day will be fun for everyone.

• Boiled eggs displayed in fancy decorated egg
  cups, easy glazed bacon butties, accompanied
  with a nice cup of tea.

• Hot cross buns served with a side dish of a
  mixed fruit salad and an ice-cold glass of
  juice.
• Ham and cheese breakfast bake with homemade
  cocktails.

• Easter Egg Hunt - Hide Easter eggs or fun Easter
  goodies in random places
• around the house and garden whilst providing
  small clues to guide your guests, and hand them
  baskets to collect all their treats!
