Cute bunnies, colorful eggs and delicious candy -those are just a few of our favorite things about Easter!

With this joyful holiday just around the corner, we’ve come up with a few decorating tips to help moms transform an ordinary dining table into an Easter party masterpiece.

1. Sweet Table Settings

Sweet treats are the way into anyone’s heart. Surprise your guests by hiding Easter-themed chocolate at each place setting for a “dessert before dinner” delight. Snuggle chocolate bunnies into the table napkins to make them look like bunnies in the wild or use malted eggs in little baskets for a festive touch.

2. Fresh Flowers

No table is complete without a beautiful centerpiece and in the spring, there is no better centerpiece than a beautiful arrangement of flowers. Fragrant floral decorations capture the spirit of the season and bring the holiday’s pastel color palette to your table. Some of our favorite Easter flowers: Lilies, daffodils, tulips and daisies.

3. Eggs-cellent Easter Eggs

Don’t overlook the obvious – Easter eggs are a great way to add a fun and festive touch to a big family brunch or dinner. You can use the eggs your family has dyed or give hardboiled eggs a quick coat of spray paint for a more polished look (just don’t eat them!). You can also try scattering eggs in baskets, bunches of green raffia or other natural-looking fibers for an eggs-cellent effect!

4. Paper Bag Baskets
