This spectacular CLASSIC PASTEL EASTER PARTY was submitted by Maureen from Anders Ruff.
Some of my favorite ideas used in this pastel Easter party are:
This is what Maureen said about the party- “We are so excited about our New Classic Pastel Easter Collection! We designed the collection in classic pastel colors with hues of gold incorporated, since we are loving the metallics mixed with pastel trend. The collection boasts gorgeous classic Easter silhouettes mixed with a basket weave pattern, wavy line pattern, polka dots and stripes.
This year we are excited to bring on a fabulous new contributor, Ellen of Ellen Bessette Events. Ellen mentioned that she was hosting an Easter Party and we were excited to see what she styled using our printables. With my trip to Dubai and us being busy with other projects, Adria and I knew we didn’t have time to style an Easter party so we were thrilled to have Ellen run with it. Boy did she do a wonderful job!
Ellen has the most gorgeous backyard setting and it looked like the perfect day for an Easter Party. Don’t you just adore the ruffle fringe streamer backdrop?
Read on for the Party Details, told by Ellen…
‘With metallics being a hot trend this Spring, I was thrilled that Anders Ruff designed their Printable Easter collection with hues of gold! I loved mixing the gold in with the traditional Easter colors of pinks, blues and greens.
For the table tops, I painted mini paper mache Easter baskets a rich gold and personalized with a 2″ logo circle. To bring out the metallics, I filled with golden Easter bunnies and golden eggs. I made placemats out of their coordinating printable patterned paper to help tie in their collection along with straw flags and 2″circles on the glasses. I added some touches of gold with some simple gold sequins on the plates and down the middle of the table. Some of my favorite elements on the tables were the fresh tulips to match their collection, the DIY Easter Egg chandelier and DIY polka dot napkins. I found the sparkly eggs at Michaels and knew I had to find a way to use them in the party.
The dessert table is always so much fun to put together and easily done with Anders Ruff’s Printable Easter Collection. My favorites were the bunny s’mores along with the cupcake wrappers and place cards. I had my baker add touches of gold to the cake and I added a large golden bunny and lots of golden eggs to the table to tie in the metallics. For the backdrop, I used crepe paper and gold ribbon to tie in the colors and dressed it up with the Happy Easter banner. The designs are so cute you can’t go wrong with them!
The beverage table had the Happy Easter sign framed along with some simple flowers. I had a friend personalize a beverage tub and napkin holder to go with the theme and left some straws with straw flags out for everyone’s pink lemonade.
For food, we had bunny shaped turkey sandwiches, mini hummus containers with carrots, Cheetos filled bags to look like carrots and lots of fruit and sweet goodies.
The kids stayed busy decorating and painting plaster egg magnets. We had a petting zoo with sweet bunnies, chicks, ducks and baby goats and we ended the party with a successful egg hunt ending in a lucky person finding the Golden Egg!’”

This KIDS’ PASTEL EASTER BUNNY THEMED BRUNCH was submitted by Bird of Bird’s Party.
There are so many cute ideas in this Easter bunny themed party for kids. A few of my favorite elements are:
The yarn-wrapped egg carton favor boxes
The paper rose pomanders and paper potted flowers
The Easter bunny straw toppers and cupcake wrappers
Here’s what Bird had to say about planning the party- “This is year I decided to re-design our original Easter Bunny printables using a pastel color scheme: Pastel pinks, yellow, blue and green. I also added a few more cute printables into the set, like the paper bows, adorable Easter Bunny Cupcake Wrappers in four colors, cute printable bag toppers and brand new invitations. It’s a total of over 18 pages of printables to help style a beautiful Easter Party with ease and without breaking the bank! ;)
This Easter party contains lots of handmade and crafty details like a paper version of my plush fabric flowers! I really wanted to incorporate those in the styling of the mini candy station, but had no time nor the patience to sew 4 new colored flowers, so I tried using paper instead – Guess what? it worked beautifully and took half the time!
For the styling I wanted to keep it simple but cute, so I used a lot of the Easter printables to decorate the candy station and the kid’s table. Large, pastel-colored paper lanterns hung from the tree above the table, which added color, provided shade and looked quite dramatic without too much effort! ;)
Since the printables had a pastel color scheme, I used the same colors in wool yarn to complement the tableware and add a little warmth. I also made a really simple wreath by wrapping the wool yarn around a polystyrene wreath and embellishing it with rolled crepe paper roses. I used napkins to make some of the other pomanders for the desserts/candy station.
The table setting was pretty simple and disposable tableware was used. Each guest had a bunny place-card with their names on and a cute Easter paper basket full of treats!
The centerpiece was an Easter Egg Bouquet. I really love how versatile this centerpiece idea is, especially for a kids’ table – This bouquet doesn’t need watering, it’s child-friendly and edible! can’t ask for better than that!
Each place setting was finished off with a cute bottle wrapped with our printable bottle wrappers and colored straws embellished with printable Easter Bunnies from the collection!
The candy buffet was styled atop a white, distressed dresser (from my daughter’s bedroom). It added height and allowed me to make the best of a small space. The sweet treats on offer are of course chocolate Easter eggs, as well as marshmallows matching the party color scheme, chocolate candy bars, jelly gum eggs inside egg cartons, cream cheese Easter Bunny cupcakes and strawberry meringues.
I guess with any Easter Party you gotta have an Egg Hunt, right? Our printable Egg Hunt signage and cute printable Easter Egg baskets doubled as favor baskets too, and were used by the kids to hunt for chocolate eggs around the garden!
Our printable bunny ears, also make for a really fun activity, where guests can decorate their own head-bands. They make for fun photo props too! My daughter insisted on having her ears pinned to the flower headband she was wearing! Girls will be girls! ;)
For the favors and gifts, I thought it would be really fun to display them onto a mini wooden wheel barrel I have – But you could re-purpose a vegetable box or crate painted white for the same “garden” effect.
Favors included speckled chocolate eggs bags topped with Easter Bunny printable bag toppers, chocolate candy bars wrapped in matching wrappers, and Easter Eggs displayed inside egg cartons. I decorated each carton with scrap-booking papers from the kit, yarn, a printable Easter favor tag and some of those super cute, printable paper bows!”

So many cute spring party ideas here. Some of my favorite elements of this Easter party are:
The scalloped paper Easter baskets
The macarons displayed in picture frames
The white daisy cake
and MORE!
This is what Brigitte said about planning the party- “Printables and dessert tables are things that are starting to become more and more popular in the Netherlands. This was an Easter dessert table that I designed. The cake, cupcakes and cookies are based on my printables designs and made by Traktaartie.”

You are going to love this PASTEL RAINBOW + FAIRY THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Natalie Zakhem of Events by Nat!
Natalie said- “My daughter’s birthday was fast approaching and I’ve always known that she would be having a fairy party. As fairy parties are very common these days, I wanted her party to incorporate elements that other fairy parties didn’t have, so I decided on an enchanted pastel rainbow fairy party.
The colours were perfect and captured a sweet version of rainbows and the party included all the elements of an enchanted fairy party. The dessert table was the highlight of the party. The cake and backdrop captured the scene of an enchanted forest. The sweet treats were styled in a way which enabled them to fit into this enchanted forest. The sweet treats included Butter-cream swirl pastel cupcakes, Butterfly cake pops, Pixie dust cake pops, a Flower cookie tree, Cookie wands, Topiary tree cake pops, Mushroom marshmallows, Petite fairy floss tarts, Petite pastel rainbow cakes, Pastel macarons, Pastel rainbow layered jelly, Pastel rainbow layered pannacotta, and I obviously had to include a pot of gold chocolates at the end of the rainbow.
As we had a huge variety of desserts I decided to have a separate drinks and candy table which the children could help themselves to. The little “fairies” and “peter pans” helped themselves to some Pixie Punch and treated themselves to some candy, which included Pastel marshmallows, Sour rainbow straps, Mint leaves, Pastel candy, Pastel fruit stick, Pastel lollypops.
For entertainment we had Fairy Good Times “Fairy Melody” attend the party. She transported the children away to a magical world of make believe, where their dreams began and enchantment commenced. The activities they participated in included A magic show with many giggles, Puppetry and many imaginative games, and Face painting. Fairy Melody also enchanted the children with her amazing voice, hence the reason for her beautiful name.
As a take home gift each child was given a bottle of pixie dust to enable them to be transported to this enchanted land once again and a personalised chocolate bar from the birthday girl.”
