How to Host the Perfect Easter Tea Party

Easter is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a lovely afternoon tea or garden party? Whether you’re hosting friends, family or colleagues, an Easter-themed party is a great opportunity to indulge in some delicious treats, sip on some refreshing drinks, and have fun with loved ones. In this article, we’ll explore some ideas for hosting an Easter-themed afternoon tea party or garden party, including table dressing ideas, food and drink suggestions, and activities to keep your guests entertained.


Table Dressing Ideas

Easter Tea Party


When it comes to dressing your table for an Easter-themed party, think light, bright, and pastel. Consider using a tablecloth in a light shade such as mint green, baby blue, or lemon yellow. Add some floral touches to the table with fresh flowers such as daffodils, tulips, or hydrangeas. You could even create a centrepiece with a vase filled with decorated Easter eggs, or a bowl of chocolate eggs.


For place settings, consider using pastel-coloured plates and napkins, and finish off with some bunny-shaped napkin rings. You could also add some Easter-themed decorations to the table such as a bunny-shaped cake stand, Easter egg candles, or some fluffy bunny figurines.


Food and Drink Suggestions

Mini Egg Cakes


No Easter-themed party would be complete without some delicious treats! For afternoon tea, consider serving a variety of finger sandwiches such as cucumber and cream cheese, egg and cress, or ham and mustard. You could also serve some sweet treats such as hot cross buns, scones with jam and cream, or mini Easter egg nests made from corn flakes and melted chocolate.
For drinks, consider serving some refreshing iced teas or lemonade. You could even create a special Easter-themed cocktail such as a mint julep or a champagne cocktail with a dash of elderflower syrup.


Activities Suggestions

Easter Egg Hunt


To keep your guests entertained, consider planning some Easter-themed activities. You could set up an Easter egg hunt in the garden or a nearby park, or organise a game of egg and spoon race or bunny hop race. For children, you could set up an arts and crafts table where they can decorate their own Easter eggs or make Easter bunny masks.


If you have a large garden, consider setting up a garden games area with giant Jenga, croquet, or boules. Alternatively, you could set up a photo booth area with some Easter-themed props such as bunny ears, flower crowns, and carrot-shaped balloons.


In conclusion, hosting an Easter-themed afternoon tea party or garden party is a great way to celebrate the arrival of spring and spend time with loved ones. By using pastel-coloured decorations, serving some delicious treats, and planning some fun activities, you’re sure to create a memorable event that your guests will love. So why not start planning your Easter party today?
