We also have a Fall Party on the first day of autumn. It is always a fun day of getting ready for the fall.

Spring Party & Cleaning…

Traditionally the first day of spring is the day when we get the home ready for the spring. We put all the winter decorations away and bring out the spring decorations.

So for us it is an all day celebration. Yeah, cleaning is a part of our party. If you invite friends they may only want to join in the other fun…

Spring Party Decorations

Anything spring goes! Bring out the pastel colored curtains, table runners, pillows, and blankets. Buy some fresh flowers or get the fake ones that are available in many stores. You might even find some cute ones at a dollar store.

1. Spring Banner

Make a beautiful spring banner. Hang it on the wall or in the doorway and be greeted by this happy banner whenever you walk by.

Spring is in the air! Yes, it surely is or will be when it is spring.

1. Bunny Cake

Last time we had the party we only made a cake. As you can see I’m not professional cake decorator or gifted in that area in any way.

Notice the cute bunny plate? The plastic eggs on it were filled with chocolate. That was another little treat in addition to the cake.

Here are some other fun ideas for Spring Party Food:
