The Reluctant Entertainer says you don’t have to spend a lot to create an impressive Easter brunch table. Use fresh flowers of the spring season—daffodils, tulips and pansies—as a centerpiece and match their colors to a set of quality paper or cloth napkins. If you invited a lot of people, make the main courses ahead of time, ask select guests to add a side dish or dessert, and serve the feast buffet-style. “Entertaining in a frugal way really helps lessen the stress level,” the blog says.

Thrift stores are a treasure trove of pre-owned holiday decorations that are just waiting to be upcycled and repurposed. To “spruce up” a tired artificial wreath, for example, add a few sprigs of colorful berries or pine cones, a colorful ribbon, gift tags, candy canes, or some spray flocking. You’ll soon have an inexpensive one-of-a-kind decoration.
