hi guys!
today i have an easter treat full of
easter eggs that i had to use a
whole table to display them!
this is such a simple easter egg table
that can be set up in no time flat.

except for the giant egg (from ??),
tablecloth (from party city), and
grass fields and fences (from michael's),
all the other stuff comes from the fantastical website,
the idea for this table came about
a fairly long time ago actually...
y'see, we live in florida and having
an outdoor easter egg hunt for my kids
was always so tricky to do cuz
i would want to set it up
the nite before so when they woke up, we could say,
"LOOK! the easter bunny was here!"
as they looked out at our yard filled
with easter eggs all over.
but that never happened because of a few things:
1. doing an egg hunt meant i had to wake up earlier than they did and hide the eggs outside. this never happened because they always woke up before me. zzzzzzz
2. our garbage can gets attacked quite frequently with raccoons, bears, and
other critters i thought the only thing
that would be left if i did it the nite before
would be chewed up easter egg shells
all over the yard.
3. ants ants and more ants
4. all the chocolate would be a melted pool
of sad bunnies or reese's cups because of
the hot florida sun baking the eggs.
so what to do?
i had an indoor easter egg hunt forever.
but alas the kids are way over the age
for any easter egg hunts.
for any easter egg hunts.
dang it.
anyway, i decided to still have an "egg hunt"
only do it this way cuz then i still get to fill eggs up
cuz i am an obsessed holiday head that
cannot let go of holiday traditions.

so gosh now i have to have an easter party.
i mean, look how cute this garland is:

here's a a closeup of all the things
on the table,
courtesy of the awesome oriental trading company.
carrot containers and emoji bunny lollipops.

chocolate easter eggs with their chicks.

i put eggs in the chicks.

all the candy is from oriental trading too.

and i put chicks in the eggs.

check out these bunny eggs.
i think i may recolor their spooky eyes
though, but they're still cuties.

i put bunnies in the bunnies.

so there you have it.
an easter egg hunt kinda table that
requires no hunting at all.

it has no melted chocolate, raccoon chewed up eggs,
or pesky ants. just candy and fun and
lots of easter sweetness.
stick with me and i will show you what i made for the carrot containers for more easter sweetness to come!
for this review i was provided the party supplies free of charge by Oriental Trading Company.
no other type of compensation was received for this review and i provided my own 100& honest opinion..

DeleteSo many cute ideas and things from Oriental Trading Co. I love the bunny lanterns. Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight party. Shared.
ReplyDeletei love the lanterns too Theresa! i think the hardest part about doing this table is picking out which goodies to use from Oriental Trading! ;>D
DeleteWe are in South Florida as well and I totally know about the hardships of egg hunting in the heat. We have had to get up literally at the crack of dawn to hide eggs. Then if the kids don't get up in time we actually have to wake them before it gets to hot and everything melts. (Luckily, we have only had to wake them one year.) Good thinking with the table. Wish I had thought of that years ago.
ReplyDeleteoh goodness the easter parent stuggle is real Melissa! HA those are the times we wish the Easter Bunny really was real! ;) thanks so much for visiting here!!
