You may have been perusing through Pinterest lately seeing all the fabulous party ideas and tablescapes for Easter, but then think to yourself the work is just not worth it. Plus you don’t want to even deal with the mess and craziness of trying to dye Easter eggs with your kids and all their friends. Can you imagine the splashes and stains of food coloring that will end up on your table and floor ruining everything?
Now wait for it…
Imagine Supergirl flying in with her gorgeous red cape and those stunning red boots to say she has saved the day (and your furniture and sanity for that matter.) I am certainly no Supergirl, but I do have the perfect solution so you can still enjoy some Easter traditions with your children, friends, ladies church group, etc. How about a… No-Mess Easter Egg Decorating Party Tablescape!!
There is absolutely no reason why you can’t have some fun without the stress. You will definitely want to check out these ideas and tricks to pull off the same beautiful party tablescapes and Easter egg ideas you just saw on Pinterest but without all the fuss.
No-Mess Easter Egg Decorating Party Tablescape
Don’t get me wrong when I talk about messy egg decorating ideas. I love them and can’t wait to try several that I found. But not necessarily with ten 5 year olds running around my house. Your biggest lifesaver here is going to be using craft decorating eggs. You don’t have to worry about the eggs stinking and having to throw them out. You can even reuse them every year.
Now what are eggs without decorations except plain, white eggs? I personally love and recommend the Illustrated Faith products because you just can’t find anything like theirs. I want others to remember even though we have fun with Easter egg hunts, there is a great reason to this celebration. Their stuff reminds us all of that! (*Don’t forget to use the coupon code, 25FORYOU, for any Illustrated Faith items to get 25% off + FREE SHIPPING!)
They have cross stickers, washi tape with scripture and encouraging quotes, etc. Plus what you don’t use on the eggs can be used later in your journaling Bible and that is never a bad thing. *Check out this Praise and Gratitude Journal I recently started showing you more ways to use any leftover supplies from this party. (See the image below.)
Now also be sure to add in some coloring pencils, gelatos, markers, etc. for any doodling.
Okay, so you have all your supplies together…
But how do we get that “Pinterest perfect” look for our tablescape. It all starts with a few basic supplies. I bought white kraft paper to use for my tablecloth. After all this is an “artsy” party so why not keep it simple. I used this bright striped table runner I already had to add some color and dimension to the plain white paper.
Supplies are done, so now you need containers to keep them organized and keep the mess away. Thinking outside the box is what normally makes those Pinterest gems so popular, so that’s what we will do. Dayspring has a beautiful collection of dishes from their Daily Grace collection that I absolutely fell in love with that works perfect for this type of party. And starting today, they are up to 65% off for a limited time(along with other Spring Decor items) which is incredible and just in time for Easter. You definitely can’t pass up a deal like this.
I have shared sneak peeks of these goodies on my Instagram stories so follow me there to see things first. I’m ecstatic the time has come to share it all with you.
Just because a platter or serving dish is traditionally used for one purpose does not mean you can’t use it in a different and beautiful way. I placed several of their dishes on one side of my table to hold all the different supplies.
Mostly I love how encouraging each dish is with a little phrase for your guests to meditate on while decorating their eggs. You can’t find these types of dishes in stores and most definitely not at these prices. I used the Tall Serving Bowl to hold the eggs because you can’t have an egg decorating party without the eggs. The chalkboard banner decal made into the bowl is perfect for labeling its contents. *A chalk marker is much easier to use than just a piece of chalk too.
I placed different sets of the Illustrated Faith stickers in this “Live a Grateful Life” Divided Serving Dish to keep them sorted and organized. I love how each slot has a different encouraging phrase too.
I used a couple of these “Open Your Heart” bowls to hold different sizes and designs of washi tape that make it really easy to add color to the eggs. That extra little design on the outside is still simple but so cute.
Now what’s a party without food? Not much of one that’s for certain. Save yourself the mess of cleaning up flour and sugar and sprinkles galore in your kitchen by picking up a few appetizers and desserts at your local bakery or market. You will thank yourself later. Trust me. I did use more of the Daily Grace Collection from Dayspring for serving the snacks.
The “Grateful for All God Gives” Platter below is 16″ long making it perfect to serve a large amount of food and different variety too. I placed a variety of cookies leaving the banner in the middle to peek through.
Perhaps my most favorite piece from this collection is the “A Grateful Life is Blessed” Cake Pedestal. This is one that I will be able to use over and over and over. I just love it and may even use it for decorating my kitchen table as a centerpiece. So classic!
With all this sweet, I thought we might need to balance things out with a little salty. These macadamia nuts are delicious but even better served in the “Grace for Today” Sugar/Candy Bowl with that simple little reminder. Throughout the table you will also see this chalkboard labeled “Open Your Heart” Place Cards that come in a set of 4. I used them for not only labeling different food dishes but also to label the different supplies. These are so versatile and not only can be used for place cards.
We have to have a cool drink to wash all these goodies down with which brings me to another one of my favorite pieces which is this “Great God, Grateful Heart” Pitcher. It also has the chalkboard decal that makes it easy for guest to know exactly what’s inside. Place some paper straws in a cute cup in front, and you are all set.
Above the table I added a colorful and simple banner to add an extra pop of color and just absolutely fell in love with it!
Now we just need to get to the fun part which is the egg decorating! Below are a few examples to hopefully give you some inspiration when decorating your own. I used the stickers, washi tape, gelatos, markers, etc. and just love how colorful they are. Save your empty egg cartons as well and cut them in half for guests to use to take their eggs home with them. These are perfect to use to display your eggs too.
Just remember, decorating eggs doesn’t have to be messy and you don’t have to have a red cape like Supergirl to pull off a “Pinterest-worthy” party. You just need a few simple techniques and supplies to make your life easier. Happy Easter!!! And the greatest of these is love,
