Hi, Michele here with Sweet Threads. Whether hosting a meal for 20 or a small intimate gathering, nothing says welcome like a few simple gestures to make your guests feel right at home. This Easter give your guests a warm welcome with these five simple inspiring tips. Click on the photos below for more details!

1. Have a cocktail on hand for their arrival ~ Get the party started with a themed cocktail {or mocktail} for the occasion. I just love this simple Easter cocktail made with fresh carrot juice.

2. A simple and charming centerpiece for your table that will get your guests talking ~ Skip the traditional bouquet of flowers in a vase and add a bit of charm to your tablescape. I love the simplicity of this wire basket filled with eggs and some baby’s breath.

3. Guide them to their seats ~ Nothing dulls the sparkle out of a party than figuring out where to sit. Help your guests out by doing seating arrangements ahead of time. How cute is this mini basket place setting with chocolate candies.

4. Take the guess out of what’s for dinner ~ Create menu cards for the table treating your guests to a sneak peek of what’s to come. Place one at each setting or frame a few for the table.

5. Send them home with a treat ~ Don’t let them leave the gathering empty handed! Send them home with a simple treat to remind them of the beautiful holiday you shared together. I love this charming burlap bag that can be filled with candy or even a seed packet for the spring.
