Party Perfect Dream: EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA

EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA

This year for Easter I decided to throw an "eggxciting" Easter Party for my Family and friends. Living in South Louisiana it was warm enough to have a water party... So the basic fun and games revolved around playing in the water.

I order these custom baskets from whatchawantdesign

for each of the kids I knew would be attending the party and a couple extras, just in case!

They were a hit!!! The kids loved the personalization on each of them and it helped everyone keep track of there own baskets.

I made "Easter Treat Bags" for each of the kids as well. In each of there personalized bags were a bathing suit and flip-flops for the little ones and beach towels and other fun stuff for the older kids. They loved searching for there own private little present. This is them hauling in their loot! :)

I tried to base the majority of the decorations around bunny ears and tails.... I love how the bunny tails turned out... And to my surprise most of the kids (and some adults :) ) wanted to wear them or at least pretended while they were there!

For the Desert Table we had A Bunny Garden of Peeps, Peeps Smores, Cupcakes and Cookies...

The Bunny Garden basket made the perfect center piece and super easy to make. Take your favorite basket add peeps marshmallow bunny's to a stick put foam in the bottom of your basket and cover. I used Moss to cover mine so it looked more like grass but you could use Easter grass or whatever you have laying around the house.

No Easter Party is complete with out Carrot and Celery cups. Take clear cups add Ranch dressing to the bottom and add celery and carrots. The kids loved them and they were easy to carry around on the go.

The Drink Dispensers had an addition of bunny ears and a tail and for drinking glasses I used Mason Cars with a bunny tail glued to the rim. To make the bunny tails simply glue a cotton ball to a piece of twine! I added Colorful straws to top it off!

I though why should the kids have all the fun at an Easter Party. So the back yard was set up for everything kid.... Kids Easter Egg Hunt, Kids Treat Baskets, Easter Egg Dying Tent and water activities.

The front yard contained a SURPRISE for the adults. An adult Easter Egg Hunt. I decided the easiest most cost effective thing to put in the ADULT EGGS would be Lottery Tickets. Since I had never even bought a Lottery Ticket before (LOL :)) I figured out how.... and went all in buying a mixture of what the sales girl told me where good deals!

After the kids had hunted for eggs and presents and were settled the adults got straight to it!!!! This was definitely the highlight of the party for me. Seeing the adults run around and find Easter Eggs and toss away the ones they though might not be as good as the ones they just found, I had to set a limit per person so everyone got some eggs! Of course they had there own GOLDEN EGG. Which in my case was RED since I couldn't find a golden one... They seemed to love it.... and it gave the adults a little something to do instead of just staring at the kids all afternoon!

The adults (Everyone over 18! LOL) scratching there tickets.... My mom seemed to be the big money winner!!! You can see some of the kids baskets got double duty use from the parents! :)

This is some of them running the perimeter of the yard to ensure no eggs were missed! :)

No one missed out on the fun! Everyone participated!

Some of the Teenagers were even wishing this was there Easter Egg Hunt! :)

I set up all the Easter Egg dying up outside..... No reason to have dye dripped and spilled all over the house. The kids got out of the pool and straight to the dying tent!~ It worked perfect! I did simple decorations outside as well! Old Easter Baskets filled with Grass and Plastic Eggs topped with Easter Balloons... Simple and Cute!

I bought the kids there own Egg Dying Trays to help contain the mess and Plastic Gloves... I HIGHLY recommend using gloves to dye ALL eggs in the future!!! They dyed all the eggs they wanted and left them to dry while they enjoyed the sun a little more! This was definitely a SUPER EASY and FUN party to plan and host! Everyone left with a Smile and an arm full of goodies!!! I think this will be added to my annual party events!
