// DELICIOUS EASTER MENU // When it comes to an Easter menu you can go various ways – buffet like, brunch like, grazing table like with boards and appetizers, basically the sky is the limit. Here are a few staples and ideas to incorporate:
- Seasonal Salads with vibrant greens, fruit (like strawberries , raspberries or blueberries, feta cheese and nuts
- Traditional dishes like Glazed Ham, Roasted Lamb, Quiches or Stuffed Peppers
- Easter themes desserts like Carrot Cake or Sugar Cookies decorated like eggs or shaped like bunnies.
// EASTER ACTIVITIES FOR ALL AGES // What is Easter with out some sort of activity? I love a solid egg hunt. You can divide it into various ages to make it fair if you have a large range of people attending Easter. I also love a few other games like Egg rolling races, bunny sack races, and even some Easter trivia.

Tips For The Perfect Easter Tablescape
Creating a stunning Easter tablescape helps sets the stage for a festive and inviting celebration. Below are a few tips to help you create the perfect Easter tablescape:
// CHOOSE A COLOR PALETTE // For me I love to embrace the pastel easter shades of soft pastels like pink, blue, yellow, mint green and lavender. But you can also go for a bit brighter version of Easter and incorporate things like coral, turquoise, bright green or go super neutral and stick to creams, grey and white with a little bit of pastel for Easter charm.
// CENTERPIECE IDEAS // I always love a great centerpiece of fresh florals for me Tulips just screw easter. But you can also use hyacinths, daffodils or even lilies for a bit more seasonal vibes. Another idea is an egg display of a variety of decorated Easter eggs in a nest, basket or egg holder.
// LAYERS AND TEXTURES // I love a great table runner – for this one I chose super neutral in a white so that everything else layered on top will stand out more. Solid pastels or even a slight floral also look really good as the base. Top it with placemats or chargers in woven fabrics or rattan, and some cute napkins and napkin rings – for this one I chose simple napkins and no napkins rings since my plates are cheery and very Easter with a solid easter treat detail with mini eggs and florals.
// EASTER TABLE DECOR ACCENTS // This is almost a no-brainer- and depending on what color scheme you create – you have endless options. I used a mix of easter theme plates and serving dishes as well as accents of egg ornaments spread on the table, little individual mini nests as place settings and a few bunny figurines for a little extra easter touch!
By combining any of these elements you can easily create the perfect Easter Tablescape that suits your mood, your meal and most of all help create a memorable celebration that dazzles guests!
Easter Menu Inspiration
When it comes to planning a Easter menu you can go multiple ways. You can do an elegant sit down, coursed out meal or keep it simple with appetizers, small bites and boards amongst all the fun and actives that will be happening! I like to opt for the small bites, boards and appetizers, almost a buffet like idea when we have a larger party- because it makes it very easy, lively and doesn’t tie you down to the table as activities are going. Instead you can mix and mingle around your party. If you have under 10 people then sometimes the sit-down, coursed out meal is a better idea so everyone can converse, reminisce and create memories!
