Some Bunny | Easter Birthday
We love this 1st birthday inspired by all things bunnies + spring! This invitation is perfect for any baby that is looking to celebrate, we especially love the greenery, and little bunny sketch! The best part bunnies can be in season all year round! But this party would be ideal in spring or summer!
Easter birthdays can be so sweet, complete with egg hunts, egg decorating stations, and sweet candy treats! With its bright colors, adorable decor and kid-friendly motifs, Easter is an ideal holiday to use as inspiration for a wonderful birthday party. To set the scene for the celebration, choose a location right in your home that you can easily decorate and can “contain” all the festivities! A corner of your backyard or garden, your porch or patio would be just the thing. Dress it up with pretty bunting, potted flowers, and pastel-colored paper lanterns.
Decor: All pastels would be a great color scheme for balloons, streamers, and tableware. Chocolate eggs would be fun as confetti all over the party table. For a centerpiece, have a bunch of fresh spring flowers or a stuffed bunny rabbit with a few Mylar bunny balloons attached. You can place “Bunny Trail” signs outside of the front entrance, leading to your door.
Activities: First things first, let’s decorate some eggs! Spread a cute Easter themed table cover over your table, a personalized activity sheet at each spot and egg decorating supplies within reach. Tip: if you’re too scared to try the real deal eggs with your tots, consider the new fake dyeable styles that are out in the market! If it’s a boy’s birthday party, why not give all the boys a bunny mask they can colour in and wear for the day.
Consider having any of the following activities to keep guests entertained:
1. Easter egg decorating or painting
2. Jewelry making
3. Easter cupcake decorating
4. Easter cookie decorating
5. Easter egg hunt
As prizes for the activities, you can choose to set up a gift table of keepsake egg boxes.
Before guests arrive, hide some plastic Easter eggs outside: Fill lots of plastic eggs with candies, coins, and small toys. For extra fun, you could also hide a one dollar bill in one of the eggs. Hide them throughout the party area, preferably outdoors, and have either baskets or pastel-colored buckets available for collecting the eggs. You could have the kids make a bunny basket for collecting as well. Then pair up for the ultimate egg spoon race to see who can get from point A to point B the quickest will carrying an egg. Once back inside, grab some Easter photo props and get some photos of your cuties in their Sunday spring attire making funny carrot eating bunny faces!
Food: Make small sandwiches cut into ducks, rabbits, sheep, and Easter egg shapes to keep it festive. Serve a veggie platter covered with carrots, celery, peppers, and Ranch dip, as well as deviled eggs, crackers with cheese cut into small shapes, and finger fruits served with a yogurt dip. For dessert make Easter Pudding Dirt Cups (a spin off from the worms in dirt dessert).
Favors: Fill mini Easter baskets with Easter stickers, pastel sidewalk chalk, tattoos, Easter themed activity or coloring book and crayons, bubbles, jelly beans and chocolate bunnies, bag of foil colored Easter eggs, or bunny ears.
Bright colors, cute party favors, and fun activities make Easter the perfect theme for a wonderful birthday party.
