April 11, 2025by Saten

If you celebrate, your Easter preparations are probably in full swing. For those hosting Easter parties, an intimate brunch or dinner with your family and friends is perhaps an old custom. Preparing for Easter for so many people is a labor of love. Besides, hosting an Easter dinner takes days of planning and preparation.

Here’s an idea.

Instead of racking your brain over what to prepare for Easter dinner, consider opting for a caterer.

Continue reading to discover our trustworthy catering services, and for those hosting events nearby, you’ll find our exceptional catering in Glendale will leave your guests asking for more, making you a truly happy host.

Preparing for Easter Feast

Food is an integral part of Easter celebrations. A traditional Easter meal often comprises a ham or fish centerpiece with an assortment of sides, including scalloped potatoes, deviled eggs, hot cross buns, and sweet treats. Of late, vegan and vegetarian dishes like roasted root vegetables, salads, and more have also made their way to the Easter menu.

So when you’re preparing for an Easter feast, it’s best to go for a menu that has variety. While the idea may seem excessive, a full-service catering service could be the best solution for hosting an Easter dinner or brunch.

If you’re torn between full-service vs. traditional catering, we recommend going for the former because it ticks all the right boxes. You don’t have to worry about calculating catering portions or wonder what to prepare for Easter dinner, we will do all that for you.

How to Prepare for Easter Parties That Impress Your Guests

How to prepare for Easter without breaking into a sweat? Plan ahead of time.

Start your preparation for Easter at least a week before Good Friday to avoid last minute rush. Here’s a cheat’s guide you can follow to host the most amazing Easter party in town:

1. Plan your Easter egg hunt. It can be a fun activity for both kids and adults, depending on the kind of hunt you plan for them. You can make the Easter eggs at home with your family or purchase them from your local stores, depending on what’s convenient to you.

2. Make a guest list and send out your invites. It’s a good idea to ask your guests to RSVP you so that you have a head count if you’re hosting Easter dinner. Ask them about their food preferences and allergies, if any. A well-informed host is everyone’s favorite.

3. Buy all the decor, dinnerware, cutlery, napkins, and other necessities for the party. You can always reuse your traditional Easter accessories but get them out of storage and make them party-ready.

4. You can opt for a themed Easter dinner. Theme parties are always fun to host and enjoyable for your guests too.

5. Plan a few kid’s games to keep them preoccupied while the adults mingle and have a good time.
