Easter Bunny Letters & Special Easter Treats

If you are like me you have lots of things on your mind when planning a holiday. With Easter right around the corner I am thinking ahead about such things as Easter Bunny letters and what special dishes to have for that all important Easter dinner.

Because my grandkids are a big part of any holiday I always try to plan things they will enjoy. They are still young, ages 2, 4, 11 and 13. The 13 year old definitely does not believe in The Easter Bunny and the 11 year old stopped believing last year, but she is still happy to enjoy the ideal that Peter Cottontail ‘might’ exist. 

With this mix I have lots of fun. The oldest two kids like to help me with my decorating tasks. They do everything from stringing jelly beans to create garland to hanging plastic eggs on my outdoor shrubbery. They also enjoy helping me in the kitchen when I prepare special Easter treats.

The younger children like to get in on the fun too so as always; my craft box gets a good workout during the holiday planning phase. I try to have the box well supplied with items that will be fun to decorate with and also with things that are safe even for the little ones to use. This includes keeping a supply of the heavy duty crayons and large washable markers. 

When the time comes to write letters to The Easter Bunny I encourage all the kids and even the adults to join in. This usually turns into a fun event for everyone. After all, who doesn’t enjoy getting creative once in awhile?

The bonus for me is not only spending time with everyone, but the kids are always happy to create adorable Easter keepsakes for me. I keep the best to use from year to year. Eventually I will give the decorations to the kids – then they can do whatever they want with them.

One of the favorite things the kids and I do to celebrate Easter is baking cupcakes. Besides the usual baking we get into the decorating side of things. I have found that the tops of cupcakes can be a virtual canvas for any holiday theme. We use store bought sprinkles to add a special touch to the cakes but we also try to get creative and make our own touches. 

We have crumbled graham crackers to use as part of our décor and added gummy worms to simulate worms in dirt. Crumbled Oreo cookies can also be used.

I have found that I can warm store bought vanilla and sour cream frosting in the microwave and make it soft enough to mix in a few drops of food coloring. This allows me to create pastel colors of frosting that result in the perfect backdrop for Easter decorations. 

Shredded coconut makes a great look for Easter cupcakes. You can even color it to your liking. Just add the shredded coconut to a zip lock bag and add in a few drops of desired food coloring. Shake until well mixed. If you want to lighten the shade just add in more coconut and re-mix – and of course, if you want to darken the color just add more food coloring. Small Easter candies can be added to the tops of the cupcakes for a final touch of flair.

Planning For Easter Guests In Your Home

Let’s face it, any holiday is more fun if you can spend it with those you love. But if you are juggling a job, parenthood, or perhaps caring for an elderly parent or other loved one, leaving home to visit friends and family members living in another area may be next to impossible. The solution is, rather than not being with the people that you love during Easter, simply invite them to come and stay at your home.

While this fun begins with a simple invitation and a positive response, you may suddenly find yourself in a panic if you fail to properly prepare for the guests. One of the first things you want to consider is where your guests will sleep. If you have a guest bedroom then you are already a step ahead of the game.

Let’s begin there. Of course you will want to freshen the linens if they have not been changed recently – but I can hear you now. You’re saying that the bed hasn’t been used in months and the linens are clean. And of course, you are right – however, you have to admit that a freshly washed set of linens has a wonderful fragrance and will likely make the guest feel even more comfortable. The good news is though that you can now buy spray-on fabric fresheners. These products are quick and easy to use and they give fabrics of all types a wonderful scent.

So spend a little time in your guest room and consider what comforts of home you can provide to make the stay more enjoyable for your guests. Fresh flowers add a nice welcoming touch. You may also want to supply a few personal hygiene products and supplies. Examples of such items include a comb, brush, mirror, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.

You may also want to hang a fresh bathrobe in a handy location. Another nice touch is a few magazines or catalogs that are kept in an easy to access location. You will want your guests to feel free to take a few breaks from activities and the room you have supplied will likely become their ‘quiet place’.

Supplying your guests with their own bathroom is ideal, but if that is not a possibility you can always provide a supply of towels and washcloths that they can easily find. Even if your bathroom supplies are conveniently located you have to keep in mind that your guests are guests and they should be treated that way.
Now we need to discuss the fact that Easter is a holiday with lots of traditions – many of which revolve around The Easter Bunny and children. And either you or your guests may have children so we will briefly talk about ways to make the occasion fun for kids and less hectic for adults.

Writing letters to The Easter Bunny is a common practice among children everywhere. You might want to plan ahead for this activity. Children appreciate nice paper and beautiful pens or markers when decorating their Easter Bunny letters. You might even consider purchasing a package of Easter stickers that can be used to adorn the letters.

If you want to make the holiday even more special you can plan ahead and order personalized Easter Bunny letters. These letters add a magical touch – both children and adults love them.

Another activity loved by children is the Easter egg coloring process. Be prepared for lots of fun and a little mess. And in case you have forgotten, children love to have an Easter egg search on Easter Sunday with those beautiful eggs. Just a word of caution – I suggest you use the inexpensive plastic Easter eggs for this purpose – especially if the Easter hunt will be carried out indoors. I once had an experience with one of those beautiful eggs never being found until the rottening odor led us to it!

The other primary concern will be the food you will serve your guests. Ideally you will not spend your time cooking and cleaning while your guests are left to entertain themselves. Instead, consider using a crock pot or preparing some wonderful one-dish type meals. Also keep in mind that your guests are likely to want in between meal snack and even a late night snack. Have a few things available and show your guests where to find them. Having a beautiful bowl of fruit handy is a nice touch. One other thought about food is insuring that you have food that will meet any special dietary needs or requirements.

Even if you miss a step or two in planning and preparing for your guests, Easter will be more fun just because you have them with you. It may be somewhat exhausting because the time is short and you want to pack so much into it. Just enjoy the controlled chaos and appreciate having the time to spend with your loved ones.

Decorating for Easter – Tables, Flowers and Preparing to Write Letters To The Easter Bunny

After Christmas, the season of giving, Easter is the next occasion that most people, especially children have been preparing for. For more than decades, even centuries, this holiday has been made popular not just in the United States of America, but also all over the world.

Some celebrate Easter as a religious holiday – it is the time that the Lord has risen from the dead. Because of this, many people have tried to make this occasion as a more exciting and more fun way to celebrate.

Decorating the tables, the living room, creating a program, and even designing and writing letters from The Easter bunny are the most common things that an adult will probably do in preparation for Easter. Of course, we cannot forget that some people are even creating Easter Egg Trees now, complete with beautiful lights and of course eggs and rabbits. All of this adds to the fun for the little ones.

Children on the other hand are too excited during this time – they are waiting for the letters from The Easter Bunny and for that special visit. With that statement, adults wouldn’t want to turn their children down, most especially parents. That is why they have been trying to create as many personalized Easter bunny letters – just to make each and every child’s day complete during Easter. Children have also been expecting a special candy treat from the Easter Bunny too! That is why for adults, aside from worrying about the decorations for Easter, they would have to prepare the Easter baskets, a personalized letter from The Easter Bunny and even a bag of candy, just to make their little children smile on this special occasion.

Nowadays, decorating for Easter is something that most people put thought and effort into. In fact, many adults work as hard to make Easter a special and fun holiday as they do for Christmas. Special floral arrangements are often used, elegant table settings honor the delicious holiday meal, and even extra time and care is taken to color those Easter eggs that will be used for decoration as well as a fun game on the big day. 


If you haven’t traditionally used flowers as part of your usual Easter décor you may want to consider the fact that Easter represents the beginning of new life, which can be represented by beautiful flowers and plants. In order to enjoy and appreciate the flowers for the longest possible time it is recommended to use only the freshest flowers or maybe add some colorful petals for a more sophisticated and elegant look.

Letters from The Easter bunny can be written by hand, computerized, or purchased from a quality merchant like PackageFromTheEasterBunny.com. In the past most adults have taken tremendous efforts to write these letters in a way that will be more convincing to children that the letter is authentic. After all, a letter from The Easter Bunny himself can lift the faith in beliefs about The Easter Bunny. Remember, as a parent; don’t feel too stressed or pressured to create the perfect letter. As a matter of fact, children who receive letters from The Easter Bunny are sure to be ecstatic with delight. In reality, the content of the letter is not as important as the fact that the child receives a document from the rabbit that they dream about during this time of year.
