A Frugal But Festive Easter Feast

The Reluctant Entertainer says you don’t have to spend a lot to create an impressive Easter brunch table. Use fresh flowers of the spring season—daffodils, tulips and pansies—as a centerpiece and match their colors to a set of quality paper or cloth napkins. If you invited a lot of people, make the main courses ahead of time, ask select guests to add a side dish or dessert, and serve the feast buffet-style. “Entertaining in a frugal way really helps lessen the stress level,” the blog says.
