If you’re looking to make plans this spring break, look no further than this article for some creative and fun ideas!
Spring break only comes once a year, and for many it means a few days away from work or school where everyone can be together and share meaningful moments without distractions. So, for this year’s spring break period, wouldn’t it be great if you had a few ideas of your sleeve for fun and engaging events to host in your own home? From game nights to dinner parties, there are a slew of options that will be attractive to all types of attendees and their preferences. Let’s dive in so you can start planning yours today!
Plan a Seasonal Dinner Party
Spring is a great time to plan a delicious dinner party that can feature all the delectable tastes of the season. From apricots to fava beans, fennel, artichokes, peas, and wild greens, springtime meals are fresh and light and will leave your guests hungry for more. Create a menu that pays tribute to some in-season produce and food items, and don’t forget dessert! Lemon tarts, blueberry muffins and peach cobbler are all yummy options. If you’d rather make it a potluck style dinner where everyone brings their own dish to share, just let your guests know beforehand that the party will be spring-themed.
Throw a Game Night Outdoors
Another idea that is really a hit all year-round is game night! Grab a couple of your favorite board games and head outside for a picnic in the grass as the flowers spring up all around you. If you’re guests aren’t really fans of board games and prefer something a bit more thrilling, you could play casino games like Blackjack or Baccarat. Blackjack is an especially ideal game for an outdoor game night as the only equipment you’ll need is a blanket, a deck of cards and someone willing to act as the dealer. And if your guests aren’t familiar with all the rules of ‘21’, they can practice online to become familiarized with the methods and gameplay style. Other options include group party games like Charades and Heads Up! that also require few accessories and guarantee laughs all day long.
Host a Craft-Making Gathering
Springtime is full of craft opportunities, from easter egg decorating to painting homemade plant holders and much more, there are countless ways to celebrate the season by letting your creative mind run wild. Invite some friends over for snacks and crafts this spring break and provide everything that everyone will need to complete whatever project you choose as a group. To decide on a craft, you can refer to YouTube or Pinterest which are both great resources for finding unique ideas. If you want to be kinder to your wallet, instead of providing the supplies, ask your guests to chip in a bit of cash for the products you’ll need, in accordance with the scale and time-commitment of the project.
What says spring more than ‘spring cleaning?’
Have a Clothes Swap Extravaganza
Every year, people participate in a massive cleaning extravaganza, famously dubbed ‘spring cleaning’. This is the time where garages are emptied and organized, storage is minimized, and cleaning supplies are bought in excess. This period is also known for major closet transformations, as people seek to rid themselves of last year’s wardrobe and make space for a new one.
Especially if you’re an avid online shopper who knows all about the best tips and tricks for masterful shopping, there’s a high likelihood your closet could need a good cleaning. So, send out invitations for a clothes swap party with friends where everyone brings the clothes that they don’t want anymore. Other accessories like bags, shoes, belts, and jewelry are also welcome. Don’t forget snacks so your guests have something to chow down on as they’re ‘shopping’. After all, the expression ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure is true for a reason!
