How do I handle Easter dinner?

Planning the Easter dinner feast

The great Easter dinner! How do you plan an Easter dinner for a large family? How do you decide who brings what? Does everyone donate money and one person buys it all? Who cooks? Is it covered dish? How do you keep the guests from feeling others don't pull their weight? The seating arrangements – who get the head of the table? Where do the kids sit? How many tables are needed? Who does the dishes? How do you handle everyone wanting to take the leftovers? Who gets to take plates to other people? Is there a time set for dinner - and what happens if someone is late – do you wait or eat? Any special rules at the table? Any taboo conversational subjects? How many dinners have been disasters? Disaster stories. Do some of your guests have to alternate between homes of relatives and eat more than once? Is dinner always at a certain home? What time is dinner? How various families handle these situations. Are guests (not family) invited? Do they bring a dish or offer money toward the food?
