Do you want to plan a kids Easter party that your little ones will love, but feel like you just don’t have the time, or know where to begin?

Well, we can help you plan the perfect kids Easter Party! Here’s a simple DIY guide to choosing the perfect invites, crafts, foods and décor. Don’t worry, the kids can help:-)

Easter Party Invitations
Here are a few cute Easter party invites that I found that will be easy for you and your kiddies to make. A couple of them you can purchase for pretty cheap, or even make yourself.

Boxed Easter Egg Invitation- This invitation is by far, my favorite. I LOVE a creative invite, and this actual egg invitation takes the cake.  You can easily replicate with a plastic egg too:-)

Storytime 
Whether real or fake, true or false, there are some super funny, entertaining and engaging stories that claim to tell the story of how it all began.

The Night Before Easter-  This entertaining kids Easter book, by author Natasha Wing, about a child waiting for the Easter bunny was the first in her series of “The Night Before” books.  Your kids will love it!
 
The Biggest Easter Basket Ever- Another great kids Easter book one is “The Biggest Easter Basket Ever”, by Steven Kroll. Kroll, author of “The Biggest Pumpkin Ever”, shares the story of 2 mice learning a lesson on cooperation.

The Easter Story- If you’re religious and want to share the story of Christ’s crucifixtion and ressurection, The Easter Story, by Patricia A. Pingry, is a great choice.

Easter Party Venue
A nice grassy outdoor setting would be a great venue for an Easter party and make for wonderful pics. Think your backyard or local park.

A Potato Sack Race- Always a winner!

Easter Treats
For an Easter Tea Party that your princess won’t forget, just provide a couple of miniature desserts and a few tea sandwiches. Add some fruit tea, or pink lemonade and homemade sugar cubes, and that, any princess will call perfection.

Tea Sandwiches- Make a little princess this fairy bread and she will adore you:-)

Homemade Sugar Cubes- I actually made some of these for my Easter shoot. Mine were larger than I wanted, but that would be easily solved with a smaller cutter. The large ones made sugar candies that the kids loved!
