There are two types of adults in this world. The first are those that moan that it’s too early for Easter eggs on supermarket shelves RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS (I suspect they’re the ones also complaining that November is too early for a Christmas tree to see the day of light). And the second? They’re happy to be reminded when the next Bank Holiday is and already counting down the weeks until time off work. I fall into the latter category. I love work but I love a 4-day weekend more.
With the turn of a new season and the brighter weather ahead, Easter is a wonderful time to get together with family and friends. It just so happens that we have two Easter bunnies in our family who’s birthday falls on Easter weekend. My sister turns 25, and my niece who will be 7 years old – this calls for an extra special family dinner party and, of course, we’ll make it an Easter-themed party.
If you’re planning an Easter-themed party, there are plenty of ways to bring the theme to life through affordable decorations. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Eggs-citing table setting for Easter feasting
From bunny napkins to flower centre piece, hop into Dunelm who have a cracking collection of Easter-themed pieces at affordable prices. Brighten up the table with pretty pastel-coloured plates, decorate with a touch of gingham (or floral. Or both!) and place nibble bowls filled with chocolate treats for a delightful surprise.

Hoppy Easter Centre-Pieces
If there’s a time to bring out your playful side, it’s Easter. Incorporating spring elements like fresh flowers, or even a small bunch of carrots as inspired by Dunelm, which I thought was a cute and unique idea!

Fresh flowers are pretty but not as cost-effective. Artificial flowers may just be the answer decorate your house all year round. They’re low-maintenance and can be reused for different occasions.
With artificial flowers, which Hobbycraft have a variety of colours and styles, you can create a lovely centre piece that lasts, without having to worry about wilting and discarding.

On the subject of faux flowers, a Spring-themed wreath for your front door to welcome guests. There are many readily-available designs or you could have some fun and make your own. I don’t know about you but I love a crafting session and reuniting with my glue gun!
Hobbycraft stocks the wire frames in a variety of designs plus floral wire, artificial flowers and Spring-inspired embellishments like flowers, speckled eggs, and ribbons. Go as simple or big as you like. Not only is it a budget-friendly option, but one that can be used year after year.
