How to Decorate Your Easter Dinner Table for Less Than $20

OK, so you bit the bullet a decided to thorough a big shin dig this Easter for friends and family. Well, personally I like to spend more money on the food and drinks then on the Easter table setting. You don't have to spend a ton of money to really dress up the dinner table. Whether you are serving a buffet or a sit down Easter dinner these simple ideas are a great way to transform your table into a beautiful display for Easter.

1. Repurpose Other Easter DecorFor example, why not fill your child's Easter basket with fresh fruit and some chocolate covered Easter bunnies.

If you are serving a buffet then place your simple basket there!

You can also use wrapped chocolate Easter bunnies to create some vertical height on a buffet table. Once dinner is over you can open that Chocolate Easter bunny up and treat yourself!

Turn a simple Easter basket grass into a plate charger. This is a great look for a buffet. Simply lay the Easter basket grass on your table. Place your diner plate on the Easter basket grass, making sure you cover the circle. This adds texture and color to the table. Green is very appetizing!

2. Pastel Wrapping paperDon't go investing in an expensive cloth tablecloth for Easter. I like to call holiday specific tablecloths uni taskers. They have only one use throughout the year and end up taking up all of my storage space. They also can eat away at your budget.

Pastel wrapping paper is an affordable away to dress up any Easter dinner table. Simply roll it out across the middle of the Easter dinner table just like a table runner. This simple trick is used with white rolls of paper at Italian restaurants all the time.

You can use patterned pastel wrapping Paper or even some solid pastel colors for Easter. Check out your local dollar store or party source outlet. They always have rolls of pastel wrapping paper for a buck!

3. Tapered CandlesSave your money and skip buying the expensive pillar candles for your holiday party. They will use up a lot of your party money. They also almost always come scented, which can effect how your party food tastes to your guests.
