A To Zebra Celebrations: Easter Party

Easter Party Ideas on a Budget

Spring is in the air! We are enjoying the gorgeous weather here in Arizona before we get to those crazy hot months!

I love the challenge of throwing beautiful parties on a budget. I shop at thrift stores, garage sales, I recycle when possible, and make a lot of the decorations myself.

This cute Easter party is something you can do yourself! I created a backdrop behind the desserts table with curly ribbon.

The pretty Easter tree I used as a centerpiece is from Potterybarnkids.com. The sweets on the table were kept to a minimum and no cake. I bought some carrot mini cupcakes at the store. Baking is not my talent...lol I used favor boxes, bags and paper straws from CakesandKids.com. I made pink lemonade and placed the jars on a cute stand from Cupcake Stand

I made this ribbon garland and the Easter banner. You can purchase these items here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/atozebracelebrations

The blue table runner is available in my etsy shop as well:

I have noticed I end up with tons of sweets after a party. I suggest to keep it simple and don't spend too much on candy! Kids don't need it :)

The bunny baskets were purchased in Mexico, but you can buy them on my new site, www.mypartyisover.com

Easter eggs are a must right?!.....They are so colorful and fun! I suggest to add stickers or little toys inside.

I hang balloons above the kids table to pretend they were "eggs" :):)

I made the picket fence basket. The carrot centerpiece was a find at a garage sale for $1

The bunnies on the sides are from Big Lots. $.75 cents each on clearance last year.

Cute boxes from CakesandKids.com

Tags and labels from Desserts & Designs

I made these favors for the kids with orange gum balls. You can read tutorial HERE
You can find other tutorials HERE

My girls wore a custom made Easter t-shirt from ModernFrills. They are adorable and you can purchase from her shop, HERE

Skirts were custom made by one of my friends.

I made my girls some last minute flip flops.....cute? :)

The Easter invitation, tags, labels and party circles were designed by Christine from Desserts & Designs.

Beba Photography took the gorgeous pictures of this party!

As you know this is a team effort and I could not pull this off on my own!
