• Quiche: A versatile dish that can be customized to suit any taste, quiche is a great option for vegetarians.
• Fruit Salad: A refreshing addition to any brunch, fruit salad is easy to make and can be served with yoghurt or whipped cream.
• Hot Cross Buns: A sweet, spiced bun traditionally eaten on Good Friday, hot cross buns are a must-have for any Easter celebration.

Easter Party Ideas

An Easter party can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Easter egg Hunt: To make the egg hunt more challenging, you can hide the eggs in more difficult places like behind bushes or on tree branches.
• Easter Bonnet Parade: You can provide supplies like ribbons, flowers, and feathers for guests to use when making their bonnets or hats.
• Bunny Hop: Play some classic Easter-themed songs like “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” and have your guests hop around like bunnies. You can also give out prizes for the best bunny hop.
• Jellybean Guessing Game: To make it more interesting, you can have guests write down their guesses and their names on a piece of paper and put them in a jar.
• Easter Piñata: You can make your piñata with a balloon, paper Mache, and Easter-themed decorations like bunny ears and eggs.

Decor Ideas

When it comes to Easter decorations, pastel shades and floral patterns are always good choices. Here are some unique ideas:

• Flower Arrangements: Use a mix of pastel flowers like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths for a springtime feel.
• Easter Wreath: You can make your own Easter wreath with a foam wreath form, pastel ribbon, and Easter-themed decorations like eggs, bunnies, or flowers.
• Egg Decorations: To make egg decorating more fun, you can provide supplies like glitter, stickers, and paint for guests to use.
• Bunny Decorations: You can use bunny-themed decorations like stuffed animals and figurines to create a playful atmosphere.
