Don't settle for the usual Easter party this year! We have some unique and exciting ideas to make your celebration stand out. From creative activities and DIY additions to delicious food and drinks, this guide has everything you need to plan a memorable Easter party that both kids and adults will love!

Remember that if you need any extra inspiration, we have a Pinterest Board full of ideas that will be perfect for your party! Now that that's out of the way, let's hop right in!

BUNNY BEVERAGES

Want to impress your guests with a refreshing and unique drink? This non-alcoholic punch is the perfect choice! It's a step up from basic Cola, and the combination of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon with orange juice, pineapple juice, and 7up will surely be a hit. Find the full recipe here and get ready to wow your guests!

This Peep cocktail from Town and Country Magazine is perfect for the adults in your life while the kids are out hunting for Easter eggs or while you're enjoying your painting session!

If you're more into mocktails, we totally get it. There are loads of fruity and floral concoctions that are perfect for spring! This list from BRIT + CO has something for everyone, from this Ocean Breeze Mocktail, which is citrusy with coconut and vanilla, to this Italian Cream Soda, which is fresh and creamy. Everyone will be asking you for these recipes!

SPRINGTIME SWEETS

Oh. My. Gosh! These bunny and carrot chocolate-covered strawberries from Harry & David are one of the cutest things I've ever seen! They would be a little involved to make yourself, but you'd only need white chocolate, food coloring in orange and pink, a couple of piping bags, and some edible markers for the whiskers and eyes on the bunnies!

Try this Bunny Bait Trail Mix if you want something a little easier to put together! My favorite thing about recipes like this is that it's effortless to substitute any of these ingredients so that there's something everyone will enjoy!

Another simple and adorable option for a treat is these rice krispie nests. They are perfect, fast, and easy to make, and you can add mini chocolate eggs for more color.

HOP AWAY FROM HUNGER

If you've read any of our other painting party blog posts, you'll know that at The Sketching Pad, we're huge fans of charcuterie, especially when it's as stunning as this one from Charmed By Camille! I love the way Camille explains how to put together a beautiful board, from picking colors that will work beautifully together to arranging the food in a gorgeous way. I couldn't have made a better guide to making a charcuterie platter myself!

For more fun, try making some pretty pastel deviled eggs. It's shockingly simple and so cute that everyone will ask how you made it!

If you have some Easter cookie cutters on hand, like bunnies, eggs, or flowers, try making classic tea sandwiches and cutting them out into fun shapes. It's an easy extra step if you're already making snacks; the kids will love them!

EGG-DORABLE DECORATIONS

Cute, easy, and festive is the way to go with decorations; I love this egg garland. It's super easy to make, too! You'll need plastic eggs, and if you want a multi-tear garland like this one, I would get around 100; plus, you can always use any extras for egg hunting anyway! The only other things you'll need are ribbon and something to make holes in the eggs; I suggest making the holes from the inside, especially if you're using a knife. It'll be safer, and the holes will naturally end up more centered that way!

Another adorable addition to any Easter party is a bouquet, but not just any kind! This carrot bouquet is simple to put together and absolutely beautiful. It's sure to get loads of attention at your party. Any flowers will do, but tulips or daffodils are a gorgeous springtime option! You could also add fresh herbs to the centerpiece, like rosemary or lavender, to add more greenery and give the room a lovely scent.

PASTEL PAINTINGS

We saved the best for last on this list! Are you looking for a fun activity for your Easter party? Look no further than a painting party!
