How to Make a Fun, Last-Minute Easter Egg Surprise For Guests

Easter's coming. Guests are coming. Your table is set, but you want to add a season-appropriate additive. Try this. It's a fun conversation-starter!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Plastic Easter eggs.
• Candy.
• Paper and pen, or printer.
• Scissors.

1. Use a printer or a calligraphic pen and 8.5" x 11" paper to write the name of your guests sequentially, with ample space between the names, along the sheet. Then, after skipping about 2" to the right of their name, write a very brief personal message. (Think of fortune cookies, maybe.) Cut the paper up in creative ways that fit each guest's personality. (One guest is a fashion designer, so I "waved" the cuts. Another is a writer, so I cut the end into an arrow shape, and then drew in something that made it look like a pencil.)
2. Fill the "eggs" with candies, money, or something you think they in particular might like.
3. Tuck the "message portion" of the slip into the plastic eggs, leaving revealed your guests' names. Let them collect these whenever the mood strikes them. (They will tell each other about them.) Enjoy the fun that follows! (Thanks to my wife for inventing this simple, innovative idea with me.)
