Bunny Costumes and More Easter Dress Up Ideas

Everyone loves the Easter Bunny. Much like Santa Claus in December, you can find photo opportunities in malls across America for kids to meet and greet someone wearing an Easter bunny costume. If you're a parent who brings your kids for an annual visit with the Easter bunny, wouldn't it be more exciting if you were in that bunny rabbit costume instead of some stranger? If you’re planning on some fun for the family this Easter, nothing adds more fun than dressing up! We’re not talking about putting on your Sunday best as you head out to Easter worship, but putting on a bunny costume and getting your hop on.

One of the most well-known Easter traditions is receiving a visit from the Easter Bunny, who hides eggs for children to find. The tradition of hunting Easter eggs comes from the old custom of fasting during Lent and has been coupled with an over 300-year-old German tradition of eggs being brought to children by the Easter Hare. If you want to be the real deal this year and bring some Easter joy without the hassle of an Easter bunny costume rental, here are some fun Easter dress up ideas.

Easter Bunny Costumes for Adults

Of course, it’s fun to hide colored eggs for the kids to find and maintain the illusion that the Easter Bunny is real. However, it’s also fun to play the part with them and let them in on the character. When picking an Easter bunny suit, it's important to pick one that will be kid-friendly. Some bunny outfits give off a creepy vibe, but there are plenty of options from a white rabbit costume to a complete rabbit mascot costume for plenty of Easter Bunny dress-up ideas.

Easter Bunny Costumes for Kids

Want to take some adorable family photos for Easter? Try dressing your little ones up in kids' bunny costumes. You can find cute bunny costumes for children that resemble the Easter Bunny or maybe just a white bunny costume (or pink or blue)! With a whole bunny family, you'll be hopping all over the place filling Easter baskets.

Other Easter Dress Up and Spring Costume Ideas

Where’s there are rabbits, there’s bound to be carrots. Dressing up in a big carrot costume is a great costume idea for parents if your child is dressing as a bunny. You can hide and have your little rabbits play "find the carrot". It’s also a funny costume idea for family Easter photos! There are plenty of other things that act as signs of spring that make for good costumes for Easter. Animals like baby chicks, sheep and butterflies are prominent symbols for Easter and Spring, but flowers might be the most recognized.

Even More Bunny Costumes

Here’s the part where we pay tribute to famous rabbits other than the Easter Bunny. The March Hare from Alice in Wonderland is well-respected in the world of fictional rabbits. He wouldn’t make a good replacement for the Easter Bunny considering how late he constantly is. The Energizer Bunny, on the other hand, will keep going and going until every last Easter basket has been delivered.
