Time Saver
Most of us spend our morning hours rush around and frazzled. I have a few time saving tips that could help you shave 20 minutes or more off your morning routine. Not that the extra 20 minutes would allow for a mani-pedi, but a few moments to enjoy a cup of coffee sans chaos is well worth some simple planning.

Invitations
What better way to invite people to your Easter Brunch than with a happy bunny doing the inviting? I have included a bunny template for you to use. His big floppy ears cover his smiling face and when the person opening the greeting lifts his ears, they find the information written right on his ears.

Place Setting/Favors
These favors serve double duty as place cards for your guests. Ice egg, flower, bunny or other Easter symbol/shaped sugar cookies. Decorate with non-perils, colored icing and assorted candy. In icing, write the name of each guest in the center of the cookie. Place the decorated cookies at each setting. Make sure to have cellophane bags with ribbon handy so each guest can take their cookie/place card home to enjoy.

Kids Corner
This is the easiest and most mess free cookie decorating project you could possibly do with your kids. Start with either making sugar cookies in shapes with a cookie cutter or purchase them pre-made from your bakery. You can either ice them yourself with an icing that dries firm and hard or have the bakery ice them for you with white, dry hard icing. You can also choose to leave them un-iced. Instead of icing cookies with messing icings and candy, purchase edible color markers that your kids can doodle and decorate their cookies just like they would color on a piece of paper. While I did not find these at my grocery store, they were stocked tall and deep at the craft store in the baking section. Now, your kids can eat their drawings!
