If there’s a holiday that is exciting for the little ones and great for the season, it’s Easter. This springtime celebration is the perfect time for everyone to have a great experience enjoying an extravaganza outside.
Hosting an Easter Egg Hunt Event is a perfect way for everyone to have the most memorable Easter celebration ever, both for children and adults. However, to have a successful Easter egg hunt extravaganza, there are some things you need to put in place.
If you’re looking to plan for a successful Easter egg hunt, here are a few tips to help you set up an unforgettable event.
1. Decide on gifts and décor
When it comes to planning an Easter bash, you’ll want to think about what you’ll leave the guests with. While there will be plenty of eggs for the little ones to take home, it’s fun to create party favors for everyone who joins the party. Easter gifts may look like small bags of cookies or tiny chocolate eggs for everyone to take home, so even if the collection of Easter eggs wasn’t as grand as some people wanted, they still got some sweets to enjoy along the way.
Décor can set the mood for a springtime celebration, whether you use banners or set up beautiful flower arrangements around the venue. It’s the perfect time for soft, pastel colors and springtime feelings.
2. Location matters a lot
If you want to be confident about hosting a large party, your venue matters. Typically, Easter extravaganzas will be held outside, in an area where there is plenty of foliage for hiding eggs and treasures. Some people plan large Easter parties at their church, while others plan a more intimate party in their backyard.
Whether you host a party at your home or you choose to rent out a venue, just make sure it’s a safe and beautiful place for throwing an Easter egg hunt. If you can find a spot that has beautiful spring flowers blooming in all of their glory, this would be the most ideal location ever.
3. Hire entertainment
While the main event of an Easter egg hunt party is the egg hunt, you’ll find that you’ll need to keep the guests entertained in between hunts or whenever it’s over. A great way to do just that is to hire entertainment. Whether this looks like a magic show or like hiring balloon twisters and face painters, know that the best Easter extravaganzas have professional entertainers ready to help you entertain the masses.
While it may mean an investment to hire these people, if you want to throw a large, successful event for Easter, you can’t go wrong with these kids’ favorites.
4. Organize by age groups
When you have varied age groups attending the party, you want to consider organizing various hunts. It wouldn’t be fair to have a 10-year-old competing for eggs with a 3-year-old, so consider this as you set up the party. A professional party planner can help you come up with the best plan so that everyone gets to enjoy the hunt, but you can also create a plan that makes it easy for the smaller children to join in the fun.
5. Plan around the weather
As lovely as springtime is and as many beautiful days as we get during this favorite season, there are also springtime showers to plan around. You’ll want to be sure to take time to check the forecast whenever possible to get an idea of what to expect. If there is expected rain, consider hosting at a venue that offers some form of rain protection.
If you have the flexibility to switch days if needed, consider including this information in your event invite. While you can’t control the weather, try to control the logistics of the party concerning the weather as much as you possibly can.
Conclusion
From the venue to the activities planned, setting up an Easter extravaganza that will be a success is something that requires some forethought. Thinking ahead and coming up with flexible alternatives and backup plans can ensure your party will be a success, no matter what and no matter the weather.
