Easter Inspo – The Best of Pinterest & the Gram

Easter Sunday gatherings are back in 2022! After proceeding with caution the last few years, we can look forward to fun celebrations with family and friends, and the traditions of years past.

The kid in me thinks of Easter and the fun times hanging with family, eating a ton of great food, FINALLY having chocolate again after giving it up for Lent, church in the morning, and waiting for the big egg hunt. My dad hated confetti eggs, or cascarones as we’d call them, because he said the confetti ends up all over his yard, so he wanted the eggs to be plastic or hard boiled. But then mom wasn’t a big fan of hard boiled cause no one would ever eat them, and more often than not, one especially well-hidden one wasn’t discovered in the bushes until August (pee-ew!)

Anyone else have an extra big family where there were at least 2 egg hunts? In other words, one for the sweet-and-adorable littles, and one for the older take-no-prisoners cousins?

Hmm…better make a few more, the primos are coming over. Image source: Joyous Garden

Easter today seems like a more refined affair. Perhaps with the advent of Pinterest, we’re all trying to up our game in terms of decor and experience. Above all, the food, fun, and spirit still rule the day. So let’s explore some of those pinterest and insta worthy ideas and see what we can add to the big day this year.

Table Setting Goals

Let’s share the hardest DIY tips first because we are always the most ambitious at first!
