This isn’t the first time Carole has shared some of her family’s holiday traditions; in April, she revealed how her family like to celebrate Easter by decorating a tree and going on an egg hunt.
‘I like to get my family to help me decorate a pretty wire tree with colourful eggs,’ the Party Pieces founder explained, adding that she also likes to arrange a ‘competitive’ aster egg hunt.
Among her other tips for the perfect family Easter were party games such as pin the tail on the bunny, crafting Easter cards together and jam jar flower arrangements.
To create a flower centrepiece she suggested grabbing some glass jars to put flowers and greenery in from the garden, and then decorating with a ribbon.
‘The table is such an important piece of Easter décor, so have fun with it and add playful touches to make people smile like fluffy bunnies hidden in foliage or flowers down the centre of the table.’
She also mentioned a family tradition of an Easter egg hunt, saying it’s not just for children.

‘We like to get the whole family involved and it gets quite competitive,’ she said.
Earlier this week, Richard Eden for The Daily Mail revealed Michael and Carole Middleton made enough money from their party paraphernalia business to put three children through boarding school and buy a manor house for £4.7million.
Yet their mail-order company, Party Pieces, made a loss of almost £300,000 last year.
Newly published figures disclose that Party Pieces Holdings racked up a loss of £285,506 in 2021, making its net deficit on the balance sheet £1.35million.
The Middletons own just over half of the business, with lingerie tycoon Steven Brentwood and Darryl Eales also listed as shareholders.
A business review at the end of the accounts reports: ‘During the year, the company has seen an impressive 18 per cent increase in retail revenue despite a challenging time for UK retailers.
‘The post-tax loss represents the continued investment in the company’s growth plans, including the launch of a wholesale division and the opening of new territories in the U.S., Europe and Middle East.’
