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.
  • Read a few Easter-themed books.
  • Tape a few balloons to the back of the chair where the kids will sit. Streamers will work too.
  • 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 Spring.
