Tips for a Fun and Festive Easter

Look no further! We’ve gathered tips that will help you plan a memorable Easter celebration.

Dye Eggs the Natural Way

For beautiful dyed eggs, look no further than your refrigerator! Not only is this a more natural and healthy way to dye your eggs, but it will produce some lovely, muted colors.

There are a lot of recipes out there, but here are a few to get you started:

  • Pink: Add a chopped beet to 4 cups boiling water. Stir in 2 tbsp. white vinegar.
  • Yellow: Add 2 tbsp turmeric and 2 tsp. white vinegar to 1 cup of boiling water.
  • Orange: Simmer the skins of 6 yellow onions in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes. Strain and add 3 tsp. white vinegar.
  • Blue: Add chopped red cabbage to 4 cups boiling water. Stir in 2 tbsp. white vinegar and remove cabbage.

Plan an Easy Egg Hunt

The first decision you’ll need to make for your hunt is whether to use real or plastic eggs. Either way, experts advise buying about a dozen eggs per hunter so everyone is able to find a good number. Hide them high and low, making sure your youngest guests will be able to reach a few and older kids will be sufficiently challenged!

Set a Simple Easter Table

It can be tempting to go overboard for holiday festivities, so try to keep it simple to avoid extra stress. Fresh spring flowers make a beautiful centerpiece, and the Easter treats you already have on hand – dyed eggs, jelly beans – can add fun accents at your place settings.
