Hostess Ideas:
Egg Hunt with Prizes
If there are kids in the family, an Easter Egg Hunt is sure to be on the agenda. Remember to hide the eggs based on the age of the children. If this is a large gathering you might consider two egg hunts based on age or even giving the youngsters a head start. If there are prizes, be sure to have one for each child.
You might have to get creative with prizes for most eggs, least eggs, first egg, biggest egg, most colorful egg, the golden egg, etc. Consider filling plastic eggs with small non-food prizes like marbles, jacks, decorative erasers, and stickers so as not to fill the kiddies with too much sugar.
Decorate with Flowers
For an Easter dinner party, consider using spring flowers such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and cherry blossoms. These flowers are often associated with the season and can add a cheerful and vibrant touch to your table setting. If you are using a pastel-colored theme for your table setting, incorporate flowers such as roses, ranunculus, and peonies to complement your Easter-themed décor. Finally, incorporating greenery such as ferns, ivy, and eucalyptus can help to add texture and dimension to your floral arrangement.
