Spread Some Joyous Words on Easter With These Sweet Holiday Wishes

Easter has a way of getting us in the happiest (or should we say hoppiest?) of moods! Seeing family and enjoying a fun egg hunt followed by the best Easter meals and sweet Easter desserts is definitely something to look forward to. But we probably won't be able to see all of our loved ones over the holiday. And this is where our Easter wishes and messages come in handy! We listed a bunch of sayings that you can use to wish those you care about a Happy Easter.

Here, you'll find sentimental notes to help you share your excitement with all of your peeps (and most of them double as great Easter Instagram captions, too). Whether you're looking for a fabulous Easter quote, a witty one-liner from a favorite Easter movie, or something that speaks to the true meaning and depth of the holiday like Easter Bible verses, we've got you covered. We've also got plenty of great options for those with children ("Chocolate, sunshine, and bunnies, here you come!") and tons of Easter jokes. Easter puns for the win! And yes, there are also dozens of options here to help you make the adults feel loved, too. Hey, chocolate bunnies and marshmallow treats aren't just for the kiddos!
