Easter party ideas: egg hunts, decorations and food

Easter is one of the most joyful occasions to celebrate with family. Here is how to plan an egg hunt and party that children and adults enjoy.

The egg hunt

Hide plastic eggs filled with chocolate or small toys around the garden. Set clear rules — a time limit, an age-split start time for little ones, and a maximum per child so everyone gets a fair share. Use our free egg hunt scorecard to track who found what.

Decorations

Spring flowers and pastels look beautiful at Easter. A simple table arrangement of daffodils, a gingham tablecloth and painted egg centrepieces is all you need. Our free Easter decor signs help direct guests and set the mood.

Food

A late morning start works well — a proper brunch with eggs, smoked salmon and hot cross buns, followed by the egg hunt, then a simple lunch. Have chocolate for the children and a prosecco option for the adults.

Frequently asked questions

What age is best for egg hunts?
Ages 2-10 love egg hunts most. For mixed ages, stagger the start time — give under-5s a two-minute head start.
How many eggs per child?
10-15 eggs per child is a good number for a short hunt. Hide extra so older children cannot clean out all the spots before younger ones find any.
