EASTER DECORATIONS
When it comes to decorations, the platform has been flooded with snaps of centerpieces, bunny banners and all kinds of creative egg hunt ideas.
One of the most unique ideas came from Celebrations At Home, who described her hunt idea as the 'best for people with toddlers'.
The clever mother filled a number of balloons with helium, tied eggs to them and scattered them throughout the yard.
'As you can see from our adorable little model, the floating balloons draw toddlers in like a moth to a flame. It doesn't take much coaxing from the parents either, because children naturally love balloon,' she said.
