Easter is just around the corner which means
it’s 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!
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.
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.
• 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!
• 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.
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.

Gifts
Even though chocolate eggs are the ultimate
gift every Easter, why not push the boat out
and buy a loved one a gift that they can
treasure forever? Gifts for children could be
as simple as a lovely soft toy or toy Easter
chicks in a basket, an Easter related gift that
also symbolises new life. Although, there are
many gifts for the older generation too,
homely gifts that can fit with the Easter
theme, such as French hen salt and pepper
pots or a beautiful set of candle holders that
can add a lovely touch to someone’s home for
Spring. At https://www.whositfor.co.uk/ they
have some incredible gifts that can both be
heartfelt and fun!
