3 unique Easter party ideas

This year, rather than throw a traditional dinner or egg hunt, consider throwing a more interesting Easter party where guests can have fun and celebrate the holiday, too.

Want to know more about how to throw a one-of-a-kind Easter party? Check out the helpful list of Easter party ideas below.

Many families have friends and family members over on Easter Sunday for an Easter feast.

• Why not make it a festive, egg-based potluck and ask friends and family members to bring an egg-based dish?
• Assign a course to each guest to cover your bases in terms of appetizers, entrées and desserts.
• Some creative ideas for egg dishes include devilled eggs for appetizers, quiche for an entrée and souffle for dessert.
• Guests will enjoy getting creative and contributing to the communal aspect of the holiday.

Don't simply hide your Easter eggs this year. Instead, scatter them strategically throughout your house, yard, neighbourhood or city.

• Use eggs that are very recognizable or decorated with a specific, unique pattern.
• Give party guests a map and clues to find the eggs.
• Make the hints and answers Easter related, or related to the people participating in the hunt to make it a family or friends bonding game.
• Give them two hours, and the guest who find the most eggs wins the hunt.

Make your Easter party fun for sporty family members this year by setting up an Easter Olympics. This activity includes several games with an Easter theme.

Easter-egg lawn bowling

1. Dye one hard boiled egg for each member of the group, then keep one hard boiled egg white.
2. Place the white egg on your lawn, then have each member of the group try to roll or throw their egg to get it closest to the white egg without touching it.
3. Make it even more challenging by disqualifying anyone who breaks their egg in the process.

Rabbit relay

Next, compete in a rabbit relay, where participants must get in a burlap sack or pillow case and race from one side of the lawn to the next.

Pin the ears on the bunny

Finally, play pin the ears on the bunny.

• The game is just like pin the tail on the donkey, but it uses a large poster of a rabbit and ears for contestants to stick as close to the bunny's head as possible while blindfolded.
