From Fred Astaire's ‘Drum Crazy' routine in the toy shop and "Steppin' Out with My Baby" number, to Judy Garland's hot vocals in "Better Luck Next Time." and their inspired vaudville act in "We're a Couple of Swells.", Easter Parade is an old favorite, with a soundtrack of Irving Berlin standards that has stood the test of time. For this reason, it is a great movie musical to base an Easter Party around, because it is a classic film that can be enjoyed by young and old alike! This will lay out a plan for how to create an Easter Parade party that your guest will treasure and remember for years to come. INVITATIONS & DECORATIONS Don: "Keep sending the flowers, it's good business." Johnny
(singing): "I'm just a fella, a fella with an umbrella. Don Hewes: A girl dancer has to be a peach. Flowers, umbrellas, and the colors peach and lemon make for lovely spring themes, and happily all are easily obtained as Easter party decorations. Throw in a pair or two of old dancing shoes, and a couple of movie posters and you're ready to go. Refreshments to fit with the party "Peach and Lemon" Theme Lemon Verbena Tea And
of course you simply can't forget to include 5th Avenue! Party Activities Invite your guests to design their own special Easter "bonnet" they will wear to the party and submit for group judging of "most beautiful," "most original," "funniest" hat, etc. Have everyone write a sonnet about their easter bonnet ahead of time, which they will then read aloud to the group at the party.
