\"easter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic, almost obligatory part of Easter: attending mass or a local service in remembrance of Jesus\u2019s resurrection. Whether you\u2019re going for your faith or for your family, consider asking someone to lunch after and share the peace. Who knows, you may even make a new friend in your community! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Throw a Family BBQ<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get this party started! Easter is a family holiday, so spending time with loved ones is essential. Having a backyard bash is a great way to bring the whole crew together, offering tons of fun for children and grown-ups alike. Celebrate the warmer weather and family time all at once with some amazing home-cooked barbeque food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dye Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t celebrate\nEaster without decorating some eggs! This tradition is super easy and\nincredibly meaningful. In many cultures, the egg symbolizes new life, fertility\nand rebirth, akin to the celebration of Jesus\u2019 resurrection in the church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can channel this with a couple of hard-boiled eggs at home. Drop some food dye in a glass of water, hold the egg down for a minute or so, and pull out your new creation! Adding patterns and designs make each egg even more special, creating a unique connection between each person and the meaning of the holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Make a Traditional Easter Dinner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"easter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, you\u2019ve spent all day in the sun, and now you\u2019re ready to put your Sunday best back on and sit down with the family. There\u2019s no better way to bring everyone together than with an Easter Ham! Supplement your dinner with some honey-glazed carrots, scalloped potatoes, devilled eggs, and baked asparagus for a well-rounded meal to suit everyone\u2019s needs. Finish the evening with some carrot cake to channel your inner Easter bunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Easter Egg Hunt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"what<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This classic tradition\nreally is fun for the whole family. Kids love the hunt, but you get to prep the\neggs and decide where to hide them! You can be as simple or creative as you\u2019d\nlike and fill the eggs with much more than candies! Coins, keychains, dollar\nbills, toys, and even glow sticks can be just as egg-citing for kids to open.\nGive it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easter Party Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, the day is\nscheduled, you\u2019ve got the whole itinerary set up, and every family member is en\nroute to your place for Sunday.

\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Throwing a family-themed family party seems a little bit cheesy, we know. But if you\u2019ve got cousins and grandparents coming from all over the place, decorating your home with custom printed family memorabilia makes the reunion that much more exciting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise your extended family with a doormat that features last year\u2019s group photo and get a table runner to match! Design a custom pennant banner that spells out your last name, like \u2018Baxter Clan\u2019 or \u2018Schneider Squad\u2019. Little accents like this make family time even more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get comfortable with bright colors  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"easter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Easter is a time for\nbright, beautiful pastels, so factor this color palette into your decorations,\noutfits, and desserts. Walking into a home adorned with soft, springtime colors\nis the best way to get your family in the Easter spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just a bit of\ncreativity, you can turn any boring old object into an Easter themed decoration\nthat\u2019s sure to leave an impression. Add a pastel pom-pom lining to your nice\ncloth napkins. Blow up white balloons, cut some lemon-shaped pieces of white\ncardboard paper, and make little bunnies! These creative touches will take your\nparty from laxed to legendary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Get the whole family involved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"get<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And while the kids are away, the adults will play! Add an Easter-themed cocktail to the end of your dinner party by reimagining your favorite drink with a Peep candy or chocolate Easter egg on top. Other popular ideas include pastel-colored Jello shots and smooth chocolate cocktails with Baileys mixed in. You can\u2019t go wrong with a creative Easter drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
