If you're anything like Ree Drummond, you're very excited about Easter—and you've been prepping for it for weeks. But admit it: Even with the most bountiful Easter brunch spread and a smattering of chocolaty Easter desserts, the holiday just isn't half as wonderful without friends and family around. The magic of Easter is meant to be shared, you know!

That's where Easter wishes and messages come in. They are the springtime reminder of how much you and your loved ones care for each other. Here, you'll find sayings and 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, 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, too. Punny Easter messages 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!
