Happy Friday everyone! Easter is just around the corner, and it is already time to start getting ready for this spring holiday. Easter Sunday is April 1st this year, and no- that is not an April Fool’s joke, leaving us just over one week before the festivities begin. Below we’ve broken down church services, decor, treats and outfit ideas to make this Easter the best one yet (and avoid the last minute panic). Enjoy!
Church Services
For many of us, Easter brings a time for family and friends to come together to celebrate this Christian holiday, which signifies the resurrection of Christ. Below are some helpful links for those of you looking for church services (on both Easter Sunday and Good Friday) around Texas.
- For Austin church services: try Austin Stone, Central Presbyterian Church or Gateway Church Austin.
- For Dallas church services: try Fellowship Dallas, Watermark, Highland Park United Methodist or St. Patrick Catholic Church.
- For Houston church services: try Champion Forest Baptist Church, Lakewood Church, First Presbyterian Church Houston or Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. Second Baptist & First Baptist.
- For San Antonio church services: try Northrock Church, San Antonio Catholic Church or Grace Point Church (and see if you can get some tickets to the Final Four, which is occurring in San Antonio the same weekend!)
DIY Decor
Easter is also the perfect time of year for egg-hunts and family meals, to kick off this lovely season. If you’re anything like me you’re usually the hostess for these occasions, and you’re already starting to get your house in order before floods of guests arrive. To save some stress, and some money, we’ve broken down a few DIY decor options from around the web.
1. Eggshell Garland from Good Housekeeping
2. Bunny Lanterns from Country Living
3. Moss Planter from Better Homes & Gardens
4. Bunny napkins from Country Living (these come with a free printable to get this same colorful design!)
