Easter balloon ideas are a fun, colourful way to bring your event to life—whether you’re hosting a school fête, church celebration, community gathering, or family backyard party. Balloons help set the scene, create excitement, and give your guests something to smile about. In this blog, we’ll walk through 7 creative ways to use balloons this Easter, with tips on how to make them work for your space and budget.
Easter Bunny Balloon Columns
Balloon columns are perfect for framing entrances or creating a festive photo backdrop. Add bunny ears, whiskers, and a big balloon nose to turn your column into a cheerful Easter Bunny. These are a hit with kids and can be customised to suit your theme colours—pastels work beautifully for Easter.
If you’re not sure where to start, Balloons Galore can help design and deliver custom Easter balloon columns ready to go.
Balloon-Filled Easter Egg Hunt Zones
Take your traditional Easter egg hunt to the next level with balloons! Use clusters of pastel balloons to mark different hunt areas, age zones, or clues. Not only do they look great, but they also help manage the crowd and keep things organised.
Tip: Air-filled balloons staked into the ground work well outdoors and are more eco-friendly than helium.
Pastel Organic Garlands
Organic balloon garlands in soft pastels bring a touch of elegance to any Easter event. Drape them across tables, over archways, or behind a dessert station for instant wow factor. Include hints of gold or metallics for a luxe feel, or keep it soft with lilac, mint, and baby pink.

DIY Balloon Easter Baskets
This is a great hands-on activity for schools or community centres. Use small balloons to create decorative “Easter baskets” filled with mini eggs, stickers, or small toys. Attach a handle and let kids personalise their basket.
It’s a great way to combine craft and play—and every child gets to take home a balloon surprise.
Easter Balloon Animals and Twisting
Balloon twisting adds interactive fun to your event. Bunnies, chicks, and Easter eggs are all easy to make with the right artist. These balloon animals are perfect for roving entertainers, market stalls, or kids’ zones.
Ask us about including a balloon artist in your Easter package—we work with trusted entertainers throughout the region.
Helium Balloons for Tables and Takeaways
Sometimes it’s the simple touches that make the biggest impact. Helium balloons in Easter colours (pastel pinks, yellows, blues) are perfect for table centrepieces or party favours. Tie them with ribbon and a mini chocolate bunny for a memorable treat.
These are especially popular for family-friendly cafes, church morning teas, and backyard BBQs.
