How to Set Up an Easter Egg Decorating Party

Create a picture-perfect party with four simple staples — the same ones we use to make every celebration magical.

Party Set Up Essentials:

  • 6-foot folding table
  • 10-foot adjustable backdrop stand
  • 90 x 132-inch sequin tablecloth
  • 6-foot themed fabric backdrop

💡 Tip: Hop over to Inspired Party Backdrops for reusable, photo-ready backdrops that make every setup shine!

Egg-stra Special Decorations

Turn your party space into a spring scene bursting with Easter charm! We created a fresh, festive vibe using:

  • Bunny-themed backdrop
  • Yellow sequin tablecloth
  • White cake stands for elevation
  • Ceramic bunny holders to display eggs
  • Faux greenery for a blooming finish
  • Pastel foam eggs
  • Faux nests

💡 Tip: Give each child their own Easter bunny bag of supplies — it keeps the table tidy and the crafting chaos under control!

Decorate Your Easter Eggs

Ditch the dye this year and hop into a sparkly, low-mess activity that’s all fun and no stress!

What You’ll Need:

  • White plastic eggs (any size you like)
  • Adhesive gem stickers, face gems, or acrylic gems.
  • Glue dots, craft glue, and low-heat glue guns (if required) 

💡 Tip: Wooden eggs make a great eco-friendly alternative to plastic. You can also find ceramic or other reusable options for decorating.

Let the Egg-spressions Begin:

It’s time for kids to dive into decorating with the supplies provided! They can keep it simple by peeling and sticking face gems or get creative, arranging adhesive jewels into fun patterns across their eggs.

  • Most adhesive gems stick well to plastic, so younger kids can get creative without needing extra tools.
  • For heavier decorations or non-sticky items, glue dots or regular craft glue work well; just allow enough time for everything to dry.
  • Low-heat glue guns are an option for older kids, but require adult supervision and some prep to keep tiny fingers safe.

💡 Tip: We used cake stands to give kids a raised, easy-to-clean surface to work on, but placemats, trays, or even paper plates work just as well.

More Decorating Ideas:

While we kept our activity simple with gem stickers, face gems, and adhesive gems for that sparkly look, you can also offer fun alternatives like:

  • Sticker patterns — think flowers, stripes, or even your initials!
    tattoos that are almost too cool to peel off
  • Washi tape for a pop of pastel perfection
  • Pastel markers to doodle your dreams
  • Posca paint pens for bold, bright strokes
  • Mini pom-poms and felt shapes for some fuzzy fun
  • Stick-on googly eyes to give your bunnies the best expressions ever!

💡 Tip: Set up a few example eggs to spark creativity and get imaginations hopping!

Egg-tastic Easter Games

Once the decorating is done, it’s time to get the party cracking with some Easter fun!

  • Easter Egg Hunt: Take the classic hunt up a notch with a colourful twist. Assign each child a specific egg colour or pattern to collect (like pink polka dots or blue stripes) to keep things fair and fun.
  • Carrot Toss: Toss plush or foam carrots into bunny buckets or flower pots. Score points and win mini prizes!
  • Egg & Spoon Race:  Ready, set, wobble! Give each child a spoon and an Easter egg. The goal is to race to the finish without dropping it. If the egg falls, they head back to the start and try again.

💡 Tip: Set up an Egg Exchange Table where kids can swap their decorated eggs or collected treasures!

  • Easter Waffle Pops: Serve waffle pops on sticks, decorated with chocolate drizzle and pastel sprinkles. Add faux leaves to the sticks to transform them into enchanting garden flowers.
  • Easter Egg Milkshakes: Carefully cut the tops off hollow chocolate eggs and fill them with flavoured milk. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of edible glitter for a magical treat.

💡 Tip: Serve savoury snacks in egg cartons for a fun and festive way to keep portions tidy — think mini quiches, cheese cubes, or veggie sticks in each compartment.
