Newlywed Easter Dress Success

Unsure of your Easter dress success? Don’t worry, we’re here to help. One of the best parts of Easter is the excuse to shop for one more Spring dress or ensemble. Can you remember how excited you used to get before Easter as a little girl? The dress, the hat/bow and of course new shoes! Whether you are a newlywed meeting your spouse’s extended family for the first time or simply going to brunch with close friends, here are a few of our favorite outfits that are festive but won’t leave you looking fussy.

Fashionably Floral – Look for a dress that has just enough flowers to be attractive, but not enough to make you look like Great Aunt Susan’s couch! Add a colorful pump and you’re ready for any Easter occasion.

Best Brunch Bet – Going to a family brunch and not sure what to wear? Shop for a dainty ship dress that can be accessorized dressy or casual (as your event calls for).

Meet the Family – Did your fiance wait until this Easter to introduce you to his extended family? Don’t stress. Look for something in a solid color, something elegant, tasteful and still very young and pretty (like you).

Easter Egg Hunt Elegance – Maintain a stylish holiday appearance AND your ability to forage for eggs with classic linen pants. Add a floral blouse or light weight sweater and you’re good to go hunt for some eggs!

Whatever your Easter plans may be, isn’t it wonderful to be a women and have a chance to dress up? Do you have any suggestions for Easter dress success? We’d love to hear from you.

Easter with the In-Laws As Newlyweds

Are you spending Easter with the in-laws this year? If so, you might be a little worried about how things will turn out. One way to start the holiday off on the right foot is with a hostess gift for your mother-in-law. It shows that you appreciate her hospitality and that you have excellent manners (never a bad thing). Here are a few gift ideas to help you position yourself in the best way possible with your new family members:

1. Easter Colored Chocolate Strawberries – You can make them yourself with this simple recipe or order them from Shari’s Berries. Everyone loves holiday candy, and chocolate covered strawberries elevate Easter treats to a new level!

2. Robin’s Egg Soaps – Help your mother-in-law celebrate spring with this adorable soap collection. It’s a simple, sweet and practical hostess gift, all at the same time.

3. Seasonal Shakers – If you’re completely stumped on what to bring, consider these pewter rabbit salt & pepper shakers. They’ll add a bit of holiday charm to your family Easter brunch or dinner.

4. Upscale Eggs – Indulge your spouse’s family with chocolate truffle filled eggs! No need to wrap, the container is perfect on its own and perfect for Easter with the in-laws.

5. Flower Power – Give a sure-fire Spring gift, a lily of the valley bulb garden. The site and scent will fill the house with Spring and Easter cheer.
Hostess gifts aren’t just reserved for non-family members…so consider taking something to your mom if you’re headed to your family’s house for Easter this year. Every hostess deserves a little thank you goodie.

Those are our best gift ideas for Easter with the in-laws. Should you want to surprise them with your name change, the MissNowMrs app or service can help!
