On Easter Sunday, loved ones come together for family gatherings to celebrate fresh starts. Thinking of hosting a brunch (or lunch!) but want to skip the stress that comes with entertaining? Don’t sweat it! Here are some tips for a fuss-free Easter bash to remember.

Sure, sending a generic text or message to your family group chat will get the word out about your Easter Sunday party. But handing out printed invitations is a more thoughtful way of getting your guests to RSVP. Find a nice retro or vintage template and print it out. Fill in the details with your best cursive for heartfelt handwritten invites.

Even if spring isn’t a season in the Philippines, having fresh blooms as part of your tablescape and around the house will give your party space a burst of color. You don’t have to be a skilled florist to come up with a beautiful arrangement. Pick up a few bouquets at the grocery or market and place them in smaller vases to spread them around the room. Welcome your guests with a touch of nature on every corner for a bright Easter Sunday gathering.

Ditch the plates and create a stunning brunch board. Use a large wooden board as your base. Line it with festive paper and pile it high with colorful goodness.

Nest shredded hash browns or crispy fried potatoes in the center. Then arrange hard-boiled eggs (their shells dyed in food-safe pastel colors), breakfast meats (ham, sausages, bacon), and roasted veggies around the board. Place the sweet treats—pancakes and waffles with bananas and berries on the outer edges. Don’t forget dipping sauces like hollandaise and maple syrup! You can even hide little chocolate eggs or jelly bean candies throughout the board for a sweet surprise. Your guests will be talking about your buffet-style brunch board until next Easter!

Make sure to capture the fun with a dedicated photo booth area. Put up a festive backdrop decorated with Easter eggs, fluffy bunny tails (using lots of cotton), and colorful flowers. Provide a basket full of fun props like bunny ears, oversized sunglasses, bright feather boas, and crazy hats. Encourage your loved ones to unleash their inner goofball and make memories.

It’s not an Easter Sunday brunch party without activities to keep the whole family entertained! Have a table for the tots with boiled eggs and toxic-free paint or crayons to use for Easter egg decorating. Then, assign an ate or kuya to hide the eggs around the house or garden for the kiddos to find.

Once everyone’s fueled up with food, it’s time for the egg-citing part: the Easter egg hunt! Get your guests to unleash their inner detective, stir up some friendly competition, and maybe even share a few giggles—all while searching for those hidden treats! Check out these fun ideas for kids and adults alike. Then, see who can crack the code and become the ultimate Easter egg champion!

1. Detective Egg Challenge: Invite your guests to grab pencils and paper. Hidden around the house are clues, each containing a riddle or puzzle. Tell them to solve the clues to discover the location of hidden egg baskets. Crack the code on each one to be one step closer to uncovering the ultimate Easter surprise waiting at the end!
2. Easter Egg Relay Race: Divide everyone into teams. Hide eggs around the yard. When you say go, the first person from each team races to find an egg. But there's a catch! Before they can grab the egg, they have to complete a silly Easter challenge, like hopping on one leg or balancing an Easter basket on their head! Once they finish the challenge, they bring the egg back to their team and tag the next person. The first team to collect all their eggs wins!
3. Follow the Bunny Trail: Create little bunny footprints all around your house or garden using paper cutouts or washable paint. Then tell your guests to follow those little paw prints scattered all around. Those should lead the way to a fun egg hunt! Follow the bunny trail as it winds around furniture or flowers, under the stairs or trees, and past your buffet table. Each stop along the trail will have colorful eggs hidden nearby, waiting to be discovered!
4. Matching Picture Hunt: This time, display the eggs in plain sight, but hide small pictures of chicks, bunnies, and flowers (whatever you can think of) all around the house. Let family and friends grab a magnifying glass (optional, but fun!) and search for these hidden pictures. Once they find a picture, look around that area for an Easter egg with a matching picture on it! Those who find the matching pairs win special Easter prizes!

Before you bid your friends and family adieu, send them off with care packages to thank them for sharing their Easter Sunday with you. Use a small egg carton and label it with each guest’s name for a personalized touch. Fill it with dark chocolate eggs or tea light candles with summer scents to remind them of the special event.
