Small Ways to Make Easter Lunch Feel Extra Special

You don’t have to throw a huge party or spend a lot of money to make someone’s a holiday meal feel extra special. Here are a few simple ideas to add to your dinner.

• Have kids to an Easter Scavenger Hunt! You can put their baskets at the end or a special treat.
• To share the true meaning of Easter, read a few Easter-themed picture books and/or purchase an age-appropriate children’s Bible or Bible for teens to put in their basket.
• Tape a few balloons to the back of the chair where the kids will sit. Streamers will work too.
• Place a fresh bouquet of spring flowers on the table and light a few candles in the middle of the table. Something about this makes a meal feel extra special.
• Have everyone at the table share one thing they love about Easter. Or, if you celebrate the Christian meaning behind this holiday, share what you love about Jesus.
