Easter is on its way and you may be yearning to have a fun get-together! Have a better-than-ever Easter this year by hosting a picnic!
This year, folks may be trying to plan a family and friends gathering that is outdoors so you have room to spread out. The perfect thing about an Easter picnic is that it doesn’t feel like a compromise! With the beautiful spring weather, it’s like a special treat.
While planning your Easter picnic, you can go formal like an English garden party or super casual like a weekend barbecue. Read on for more ideas!
Easter Picnic Setup:
First, decide on your location. A backyard would be a great location with lots of privacy. Bring some folding tables and chairs, or even just spread out a blanket depending on how many will be gathering. You could do a mix of tables and blankets with the older folks sitting at the tables and kids and younger people on the blankets.

If you don’t have a backyard or don’t want to host a group, consider heading to a local park. Many local parks have picnic tables. Even better, you may be able to find one with an open air shelter. Go to your local parks website and see if they have a listing of locations with picnic tables or shelters.
Note: Some parks may require you to reserve the shelter in advance, so reach out to your local park beforehand. If they don’t take reservations, consider the fact that it may already be in use so have a backup plan.

April 1st (April Fool’s Day) is a fun day, but people tend to take the pranks a little too far. Harmless April Fool’s pranks that don’t ruin property and don’t hurt feelings are more my speed. Here are 9 harmless pranks that will cause a bit of distress but ultimately no long term harm!
9 Harmless April Fool’s Pranks
Autocorrect their phone
Enter whatever message you want in place of a word they’ll commonly use in text messages.
1. On your friend’s phone, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Add New Shortcut
2. Change “no” to “pecan pie.”
Now, whenever they type “no,” it will autocorrect to “pecan pie.”
Tin foil their office or desk
Grab (lots) of tin foil and cover all of your coworker’s office equipment in the foil. This is also fun for kids, cover thier bathroom counter, school books or anything else you can find.
