You know me, always looking for reasons to get the girls together. This year I decided to start with an Easter Party. If you thought Easter parties are for kids, think again, then read this, so you can throw one for your group of friends.

The first step in planning any party is the budget, and my budget is not usually a set price but how many people I can afford to host.
Tip 1: Plan months in advance.
I start randomly picking off small décor items months in advance, that way it’s easier on my wallet, and then I schedule different dates for checking off other items like food.

Next is the décor. When in doubt and when not in doubt, always use Pinterest. Do not buy things without having a plan (telling this from experience). And I mean an actual plan. I literally sketched what I wanted my table décor to look like, and then I bought what I needed based on my sketch.
Tip 2: Almost all your décor items can be gotten from a dollar store or a thrift store.

Food/Wine.

This is usually where the bulk of your budget goes. I stuck with the same menu as my tea party, but added a little Easter flair, like Easter-themed cupcakes and macarons, and of course bread and red wine, because lest we forget, Easter is a religious holiday.

Games.

You thought egg hunts were for children, well, they might be, but Easter is not Easter without an egg hunt. Instead of candy, I opted for filling the eggs with small cosmetic items like perfume samples, nail polish, lip balms, travel-sized beauty products, hair clips, croc charms and golden eggs with lottery tickets; then an extra incentive of a prize for whoever picked the most eggs.

I also included other traditional Easter games like the egg and spoon race and a hop-sack race, and finally, an Easter bingo game and an Easter bible quiz Kahoot.

Mostly, I followed the same planning process as my tea party, and once again managed to throw an amazing party, so definitely check that out for more details.
