Easter brings the family together around a spring table: ham or lamb, hot cross buns, deviled eggs, a basket of chocolate eggs, and the first daffodils of the year. Children are excited after the egg hunt, and grandparents arrive with treats. This place card captures that playful, springtime mood. A white bunny peeks over a fringe of green grass in the corner, three pastel eggs with white stripes nestle in the grass on the other side, and each guest’s name is written in a soft, cheerful script.
A Bunny Hiding in the Grass
The card is 3.5 x 4 inches flat and folds to 3.5 x 2 inches. The front is a warm cream. Along the bottom edge, a fringe of pointed green grass blades rises at slightly different heights. In the lower right, a cute bunny with tall ears peeks over the grass, and in the lower left, three eggs in pink, butter yellow, and lilac, each with two white stripes, sit among the blades. Happy Easter is written in small pink capitals near the top; the name Grandma Rose is set in Grand Hotel, a vintage script, in a soft plum, and table 1 sits underneath in leaf green. The back is mint green with soft white vertical stripes and the logo on a mint plate.
A Card for the Whole Family
Easter gatherings often span four generations. The sample name, Grandma Rose, shows how family names suit the card; use the names people really use: Pop, Aunt Kate, Baby Theo. Children love seeing their names next to the bunny, and older relatives appreciate a clear, friendly script. For a larger church brunch or community Easter lunch, full names work just as well.
Writing Family Names Beside the Bunny
Click the plum name and type the guest’s name; Grand Hotel is easy to read and fits most names at the current size. Change the table line or replace it with a fun role such as Egg Hunt Champion or Chief Bunny. Download the card, then change the name for the next guest. The bunny, eggs, and grass are separate pieces, so typing never disturbs them.

Recolouring the Eggs
Each egg is a simple oval with two white stripes, so recolouring is easy: select an egg and pick a new pastel. Try mint, peach and sky blue for a different set, or paint them like real dyed eggs in deeper colours. The grass fringe is a group; change it to a lighter spring green or a darker meadow green. The bunny is an editable vector illustration that you can resize or move.
Easter Egg Hunt Tie-In
Use place cards as part of the hunt. Hide one plastic egg per child containing their place card, folded flat. Once they find their egg, they open it and carry their card to the table to find their seat. It turns the transition from the garden to brunch into a game, and nobody argues about seats.
Pastel Printing Tips
Pastels print lightly, so they are economical, but they can disappear on cream or recycled stock. Use bright white matte cardstock and normal or high quality. The grass fringe has thin points; draft mode may blur them. Print a test card in daylight to check that the mint back and pastel eggs look fresh.
Folding So the Bunny Stands Tall
Trim to 3.5 x 4 inches. Score along the middle where the cream front meets the mint back, and fold with the bunny facing out. The grass then sits along the base of the standing card, right on the tablecloth, as if the bunny were peeking out of the table itself.
Setting an Easter Table
A pastel tablecloth or white linen with mint napkins, small vases of tulips and daffodils, a basket of real dyed eggs in the centre, and chocolate eggs at each place make a cheerful table. Tuck each card into a small nest of shredded paper grass with a chocolate egg beside it for a sweet favour.
Easter Brunch Menu Inspiration
Popular Easter brunch dishes include glazed ham, roast lamb, quiche, deviled eggs, hot cross buns, carrot cake and lemon tart. If you print a menu, use the same mint and pink colours so it matches the cards.
Spring Celebrations Beyond Easter
The card also works for spring birthday parties, baby showers with a bunny theme (Some bunny is on the way), Mother’s Day brunches and preschool spring parties. Change the headline accordingly.
Hosting Easter for a Crowd
Easter gatherings can be large, with relatives arriving after church and children running in from the garden. Set the table the evening before, place the cards in the morning, and seat the youngest children at the end nearest the door for quick escapes to the egg hunt. If you are serving buffet-style, the cards still help: they reserve seats for grandparents and anyone who needs help with their plate. Keep a few spare cards and a pen nearby for neighbours who drop in.
Easter Favours That Pair With the Card
A small favour at each place makes the brunch feel special. Ideas include a chocolate bunny, a mini basket of jelly beans, a packet of flower seeds to plant in spring, a decorated cookie, or a real dyed egg with the guest’s initial painted on. Stand each place card against the favour so the bunny peeks over it.
