The Easter Egg Hunt & Picnic

Our little bunnies and their adorable bunny friends had the sweetest time at our Easter picnic and egg hunt! I hosted it with one of my girlfriends, Emily Tuck, who has just launched a gorgeous new business. An online homewares destination, Pretty Snippets stocks a beautiful range of vintage treasures, and I thought this was a perfect opportunity to showcase some of the unique whimsical pieces, all of which are available for sale or hire for parties and events.

As the little bunnies arrived we ushered them toward the bunny craft station with colouring sheets and pastel paper bags from Lombard the Paper People. The bags had white bunnies (which I had added) for the kids to decorate before the egg hunt.

All of the cute decorations were from Lombard the Paper People, including the sweet bunches of pastel balloons, egg shaped tissue balls, decorative foam carrots, tissue grass, chenille chicks, metal Easter buckets and white cut out picket fence.

The dress code for the bunnies was a touch of pastel and Ava (Emily's daughter) was thrilled to wear her beautiful new floral IZZY dress from PLAY etc. They have the sweetest range of dresses that are just perfect for Easter time (they're also a wonderful company to support as they are all about empowering girls and have a partnership with Room to Read, a not-for-profit organisation supporting girls' education in developing countries).

Our Easter party was held in the late afternoon so we served a picnic afternoon tea, including LaManna Patisserie Easter Bunny and ‘Happy Easter’ Egg shaped cookies, marshmallow egg pops from Smash Cake Melbourne, cups of popcorn, berries and sushi.

Our cake bar was set up on Pretty Snippets' cane tables and featured a sweet Bunny Cake from LaManna Patisserie, as well as mini Malteaser Bunny Cake, and the most adorable Bunny smash cake from Smash Cake Melbourne, which the kids loved demolishing at the end of the party. The mummas sipped on Calabria Wines' Prosecco as the little ones enjoyed their sweet treats.

We were very lucky to have Fairy Cat from Carnival For Kids entertaining the children. The kids were completely captivated by this beautiful Fairy! Danielle from Carnival for Kids was also in attendance and painted the most adorable bunny faces on the kids, with most opting for a ‘rainbow bunny’.

No Easter party is complete without an egg hunt, and I have to say big thank you to Easter Egg Warehouse for providing the chocolates! The kids were thrilled to discover mini Lindt Bunnies, Lindt chocolate carrots and Cadbury eggs (also, Easter Egg Warehouse delivers Australia wide). The mums were not forgotten, and each took home a delicious pack of Ferrero Hazelnut Eggs.

It couldn’t have been a sweeter afternoon! A very big thank you to all the wonderful partners for their contributions and to all our gorgeous friends who joined us for this magical afternoon!
