Easter FAQ
When is Easter 2027?
Easter 2027 falls on Sunday, March 28, 2027.
How many eggs do you need per child for an Easter egg hunt?
Plan for 10 to 12 filled plastic eggs per child so everyone collects a satisfying haul. For mixed age groups, assign specific egg colors to different ages or hide special golden prize eggs higher up for older kids and adults.
What food should you serve at an Easter party brunch?
Serve traditional spring staples such as glazed baked ham, deviled eggs, hot cross buns, and an asparagus quiche. Complement the meal with fresh seasonal berries and a festive drink station featuring lemonade for kids and mimosas for adults.
What games can adults and kids play together at an Easter party?
Organize an egg-and-spoon relay race or a sack race across a 20-foot lawn course. You can also run an Easter bonnet contest using dollar-store straw hats or set up a jelly bean guessing jar where the closest estimate wins the candy.
How can you decorate for an Easter party on a budget?
Dress tables with inexpensive pastel paper runners, clear glass jars filled with fresh tulips, and small bowls of pastel candies. Cut bunny silhouettes from colored construction paper to make a festive garland for your front porch or food buffet.
How do you host a last-minute Easter party with little prep time?
Buy pre-filled plastic eggs for a 15-minute hunt setup, and pick up a spiral-sliced ham with bakery rolls for an effortless spread. Pair the food with pre-cut fruit and store-bought carrot cupcakes so you spend your morning celebrating instead of cooking.
