Easter Egg Hunt Planning

Having just wrapped up my Valentine's Day party on the blog a few days ago, it seems silly to be planning another kids holiday party, but I can't help it. I love planning kids parties and this one is extra special to me.  For the fifth year in a row, my mother and I are hosting our annual Easter Egg Hunt. It's so incredibly fun!  We host it at my parents house, right on the water on Hilton Head.  We cross our fingers and hope for good weather and invite lots and lots of good friends. (This year our list is up to 96 adults and kids!) We always ask everyone to bring a bathing suit so they can also swim (my parents heat the pool to a ridiculously warm temperature.)

If you have a few minutes, click back to see previous years. It's fun to see how the hunt has grown over the years!  I love working on crafts and decorations for the party and the set up is always a blast.

• 2014: Rained so we had it in the bowling alley!
• 2013: My favorite one ever! 
• 2012: I  was so pregnant with Connor and it rained!
• 2011: First ever Easter Egg Hunt, the munchkins are so cute! 

I ordered my invitations yesterday from Swanky Press. Here's a peek:

Being that we have thrown this themed party for a few years now, we have plenty of decorations but I like to try and mix it up. Here are some things I have my eye on for decorating and buying.  Found these extra cute bags on Pinterest. Click for free printable and original source. 

These might be the cutest things I have ever seen for packaging peeps. These are from Kami at No Biggie. 

 

Wow, this might take a lot of work but how cute! Click for original post. 

Paper straws are so big, I love this way of displaying peeps. 

You know I love free printables, so that will surely make my list this year.

I am pretty sure I am going to do a photo booth!  Need to work on some props and a background! 

Love these cookies, too! I am also obsessed with everything at Shop Sweet Lulu and need to get crackin' on my Oriental Trading Company order. 

You know that I will be using my PSA Essentials personalized stamps and switchable middles. My go-to pack for this holiday is PSA Topiary and Little Bunny!

Can't wait to get started! Going to be a fun and crafty March for me and Molly!
