If you’re wondering how to celebrate Easter and make it memorable this year, don’t you worry! We’ve got you covered with some creative ideas to celebrate Easter. Scroll ahead!
How To Celebrate Easter With Family
1. Cooking a traditional Easter meal with your family is a great way to kickstart this holiday and spend time with your loved ones. A delicious Easter omelette or a traditional pot-luck style meal along with some baked treats is the perfect way to celebrate Easter.
2. While this Easter game is reserved for the kids, adults can also enjoy a great egg hunt. We recommend you organize a hunt at night and customise the game with your own rules. But at the end of the game, it’s all about the prize. You can always put cash, wine bottles and maybe even gift cards in the egg!
3. Easter celebration includes egg decoration but why not take this opportunity to make it more fun by turning it into a competition! This year, challenge your family to decorate the egg in the best possible way in a limited time frame and let the games begin!
4. Order-in your Easter dinner and support local businesses instead of cooking a whole spread at home. Use all your free time to make memories with your loved ones on this holiday.
5. Take all your relatives and loved ones on a group video call for an Easter celebration. Share Easter stories and old memories while you make new ones.
Ways To Celebrate Easter With Friends
1. There’s nothing better than an Easter party. Host a pastel themed party for the Easter celebration and invite all your close friends. Remember to maintain COVID safety norms while you enjoy this holiday.
2. Have a glow in the dark Easter egg hunt! A night egg hunt can be lots of fun but it becomes even better if you have some glow in the dark eggs! If you can’t find glow in the dark paint for your Easter eggs, you can place small glow sticks inside them instead.
3. Hold an Easter candy or chocolate making contest with your friends. Making bunny or egg-shaped chocolates or candies can be just as fun as eating them.
4. Apart from the egg hunt, there are several other Easter games to enjoy this day with your friends. You can put a bunny on a wooden target and play ring toss. You can also play a game of messy egg darts by throwing raw eggs at the target or maybe you can just play an Easter version of ‘Would You Rather?’.
5. A cook-off can be a great way to celebrate Easter. Grab your aprons and whip up your grandma’s Easter recipe and let everyone decide which dish is the best.
6. Marshmallow peeps are a huge part of Easter celebrations. But as an adult, you can always include it in a fun way at your Easter party. Make vodka infused marshmallow peeps for your party and you can also use them for your cocktails.
