FAQ

How do I keep everything from getting soggy?

Keep anything crunchy (like phyllo shells and toasted bread) separate from wet toppings until close to serving.

If you’re prepping ahead, store fillings in an airtight container set and assemble 30–60 minutes before guests arrive so everything stays crisp.

What are the best make-ahead options?

The easiest make-ahead choices are chilled items like deviled eggs and pinwheels, plus anything served cold like cucumber bites.

Use a deviled egg tray to keep eggs neat, and wrap rolled pinwheels tightly in plastic wrap so slicing stays clean.

How many bites should I plan per person?

Plan on 4–6 pieces per person if you’re serving multiple dishes, or 8–10 pieces per person if finger foods are the main meal.

Using a big serving platter helps everything look full and abundant without piling food too high.

What’s the easiest way to make the spread look “Easter” without extra décor?

Focus on simple shapes (bunny ears, carrot tops, egg speckles) and keep colors bright and clean.

A few smart tools like a vegetable peeler for ribbons and a small cookie scoop for uniform portions make everything look styled without adding clutter.

How can I keep things kid-friendly?

Keep flavors mild and portions small, and lean into familiar options like mini sandwiches, cheese-and-cracker bites, and fruit skewers.

Using cocktail skewers or toothpicks makes everything easier for little hands to grab without the mess.
