With the temperatures warming and spring in the air, Easter is the perfect time to get outside and celebrate! My daughters Stella and Hazel love a good party as much as I do, so we decided to have their neighborhood friends over on a sunny morning for a Peanuts® themed Easter party! Aren’t these pastel Peanuts® party supplies just the sweetest? They were the colorful backdrop for a morning filled with Easter egg hunting, party crown making, and kite flying! Get ready to enjoy a charming party with Snoopy® and the rest of the Peanuts® characters!
To set up for the party, I covered our backyard picnic table with a basic plastic tablecloth and dressed it up with a colorful lime green runner (it is chevron on one side and polka dots on the other!). I kept the tableware fuss free with disposable (unbreakable!) plates, cups and silverware. Rather than having everything match, I like to mix colors and patterns for an eclectic look. As long as you stick with a complementary color palette, such as all pastels, you're good! To make simple decor for your Easter party all you need are plastic eggs! I turned pretty pastel colored plastic eggs into whimsical flower bouquets for the party centerpieces.
Plastic eggs strung together with baker's twine look pretty meandering down the middle of a table. The handy little holes on the top and bottom of the eggs make stinging them together a cinch. Just open up the egg, thread the twine through the bottom holes using a darning needle, then push the needle through the top holes and snap the egg shut. Keep repeating to add more eggs to the garland!
Stella and Hazel helped me fill a Peanuts® pail for each place setting with some colorful Easter grass and a few surprises to keep their friends busy including crayons, finger puppets, and a bookmark to take home.
The kids loved coloring their own Easter crowns and wearing them during the party!
You can't have a party without a sweet treat! These simple and yummy Easter Egg Nest Cakes use store-bought ingredients so you can skip the baking and put them together in under 15 minutes!
After the treats were devoured, the kids had fun trying out their Peanuts® Easter kites. Such a fun way to end a beautiful morning outside!
