Set an Easter table with a light cloth, complete place settings and a low spring centerpiece. If you have cats, leave out true lilies and daylilies: the FDA warns that every part of the plant, even the water in the vase, can cause fatal kidney failure.

When is Easter 2027?
Easter Sunday 2027 falls on March 28, according to the Farmers' Almanac. That leaves most of March to plan an Easter lunch or dinner and to order linens and tableware.
What goes on an Easter table for six?
Set six complete places first: a plate, napkin, glass and flatware for each guest, in the basic layout the Emily Post Institute describes, with the fork on the left and the knife on the right, blade facing the plate. Then add a light cloth or runner and a low centerpiece.
The Easter Garden Table plan pairs pink napkins and a pink runner with woven placemats, ribbed goblets, gold-tone flatware and clear bud vases. The placemats, goblets, flatware and vases link to exact Amazon listings; the linens, flower bowl and egg nests are open searches.
- Six plates, napkins, glasses and flatware settings.
- A light tablecloth or runner.
- A low flower bowl or a row of bud vases.
- A clear spot for the serving platters.
- Flowers that are safe for your pets.
Make this personal: compare a plan against your budget and start with the pieces you need.
Which flowers are unsafe for cats on an Easter table?
True lilies and daylilies are dangerous to cats. The FDA names Easter, Asiatic, Oriental, tiger and wood lilies and daylilies, and warns that the stem, leaves, flowers, pollen and even the water in a vase are toxic.
According to the FDA, kidney failure can follow within 24 to 72 hours, and a cat whose treatment is delayed by 18 hours or more generally has irreversible kidney failure. If you have cats, choose other flowers or a faux arrangement, and call a veterinarian right away if a cat may have touched a lily.
How low should a spring centerpiece be?
Keep it below the eye line of seated guests, so everyone can see across the table. A row of small bud vases takes less room than one large bouquet and leaves space for the serving platters.
What can you reuse from your holiday table for Easter?
Woven placemats, ribbed goblets and gold-tone flatware appear in LookBundle's Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter plans with the same Amazon listings, and white plates join them in the Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. Change the napkins and flowers for spring and the base carries on.
