Easter Party Ideas 2025: Affordable & Elegant Setups
Are you hosting an Easter party this year? Let’s make sure you host one to remember!
From the Easter bunny to Easter eggs, there are many fascinating aspects to Easter celebrations. So, whether you’re choosing to spend your Easter at a church or hosting a party at your home, we’ve got a collection of affordable and elegant Easter party ideas to help you host the party of the year!
Here are the most affordable and elegant ideas for an Easter party in 2025:
1. Farmhouse Easter with some Egg Hunting
If you want your Easter party to have a good old country vibe with wood and earthy tones, consider hosting a rustic farmhouse Easter where you can also add an egg hunt. This theme is ideal for a laid-back, relaxed gathering – be it indoors or outdoors.
Décor:
To decorate your farmhouse or backyard for your rustic-style Easter party, use wooden furniture such as wooden tables, cube seats, and a bar. Add linen or a lace runner to the table to build on the rustic theme. Use a wicker basket and fill it with painted Easter eggs as centrepieces. You can also use jars and add daisies or lilies for an elegant touch to the overall setup.
For outdoor décor, you can add lanterns and festoon lights by the trees to give your farmhouse or backyard a romantic and cosy glow. Moreover, add a blackboard with fun Easter-related messages such as “Egg Hunt Awaits You – Move Right/Left.”
Activity:
To keep the guests entertained at your rustic farmhouse Easter party, we recommend going egg hunting – one of the top activities at Easter parties worldwide. Fill the eggs with treats such as candies, toys, or other interesting surprises (whatever you reckon your guests would be delighted to receive), and hide them in places around the surroundings, such as the yard or inside the house.
Ask your guests into the game area and let them hunt for these eggs. Make sure to set a time limit. Ultimately, whoever finds the most eggs is declared the winner and may receive a bonus gift or reward for this win.
2. Garden Brunch with a Pastel Theme
Are you envisioning a posh yet sophisticated gathering? If the answer is yes – it’s time to host a garden brunch with a pastel-coloured theme. Incorporate pastel hues and floral décor. These blended with nature as a backdrop – you will have a perfect brunch event with an affordable setting.
Décor:
Set up Chiavari chairs with round tables in your gardens to add the ideal elegant touch and kickstart your garden brunch. Use lavender, baby pink, or light green table runners or cloth and cover with a lacy fabric to add to the ethereal touch.
Fill jars and vases with fresh flowers such as lilies, daisies, and peonies to commemorate the arrival of spring and add to the floral yet elegant vibe of your party. Add painted and decorated eggs in a birdcage or wicker basket for a perfect focal point.
Hang birdcages or mirror balls by the trees and add festoon lights around the cages on the trees to create a magical ambiance.
Menu:
Next, plan a classic menu after considering any dietary restrictions or preferences your guests may have. Some of our top recommendations for a perfect Easter brunch include:
- Smoked salmon pâté
- Roasted vegetable quiche
- Beetroot, walnut, and orange salad
- Spinach and Feta Quiche
- French Toast Casserole
For dessert, add mini lemon tarts, pastel-colorued macarons, and Easter bunny sugar cookies.
Activities:
- Set up a DIY Easter décor station: Provide the participants with markers, paints, and natural dyes, and let them get creative with egg decorations.
- Play a game of charades: There’s no better way to bring children and adults together than playing a game of charades. Incorporate Easter-themed words such as “bunny,” “eggs,” “a rabbit hopping,” “daisies,” and more.
- Brunch Bingo: Create bingo cards with Easter-themed words mentioned above and award the winner with special prizes!
- Garden photo booth: Set up a floral-printed backdrop, bunny ears, and some party props for aesthetic and fun photoshoots.
3. Vintage Tea Party – Elegant and Classy
If you’re a fan of tea parties, there’s no better time to host one than in time for Easter. With dainty desserts, soft florals, and delicate China – you can host a cosy and intimate gathering that is equally graceful and affordable.
Décor:
You can host a vintage tea party in your backyard or even indoors. For an outdoor tea party in your backyard, set up Chiavari chairs or rustic-style wood cube seats. Place some plinths around the furniture and suspend lanterns for a dreamy touch to the atmosphere. You can also place some books or antique centrepieces, such as old-fashioned clocks, to add to the vintage vibe.
Menu:
For a vintage tea party, incorporate the following dishes into your menu:
- Serve savory tea sandwiches, such as cucumber cheese sandwiches, egg sandwiches, and smoked salmon and dill sandwiches.
- Serve pastries and scones such as pastel-coloured macarons, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and blueberry scones.
- Now for the Tea! Your must-have on the menu. Opt for a variety of teas, such as iced tea, hibiscus tea, English breakfast, Earl Grey, or lavender tea.
Activities:
An Easter-themed activity everyone can enjoy is a classic bunny hop sack race. Bunnies love to hop, and humans love to compete – incorporate these two characteristics to host the perfect Easter-themed game.
To host the game, you must ensure:
- Designate a starting and finishing line.
- Participants must stand inside the sacks once the race begins.
- Determine the winner by establishing who crosses the finish line first.
If a bunny hop sack race isn’t your thing and you want a more laid-back and sophisticated activity, consider setting up a DIY floral crown station where guests can make their floral crowns. Make sure you provide them with the relevant supplies.
