If there’s anyone you want to celebrate on a particular day, it must be your mother! Mothers undoubtedly give everything to their children. You can get all these from a mother by providing life, everlasting love, and valuable lessons. While they deserve to receive appreciation daily, a special day like Mother’s Day allows for preparing something special for all moms and mother figures in our lives. On a dedicated day like Mother’s Day, you can expect a wide array of fun ideas that you can do.
The stakes are high for this dedicated day, so you got to dedicate your time to planning for something meaningful. Cards and flowers won’t cut it sometimes, so you can check out other ideas, like throwing a celebratory bash for them.
Here are fun and meaningful Mother’s Day party ideas that will let your mom know just how much she means to you:
1. Host a brunch
Breakfast in bed seems like the usual option if you’re also a morning person. After all, it’s the best way to start anyone’s day. Mothers usually wake up early to prepare everyone’s breakfast, but for a particular day like Mother’s day, you can let your mom sleep in bed for a longer time. Hosting a brunch is an excellent opportunity to make your mom feel special. You can invite your mom’s friends or keep it within the family by asking your mother-in-law, aunts, and grandmothers. This gathering can make the day memorable for every one of them.
All you need to host a fabulous brunch is enough seating and a stellar menu of brunch items. You can serve anything from light breakfast bites like egg muffins, scones, croissants, or donut holes to a full-on pancake waffle or French toast bar complete with toppings and syrups. To spice things up, you can also include drinks like Bloody Mary or other drinks with various flavors, such as orange, pineapple, mango, and grapefruit. If your mom and other mother figures are into sweets, you can get some bagels with various sweet and savory flavors of cream cheese.
2. Have a tea party
Having a high tea with family and friends is a classic way to spend a special occasion. You can expect a sophisticated, calm, charming, yet fun afternoon to even with your mother and other mother figures if you have a tea party. With tea, cookies, and chitchat, your mom and her friends can relax and enjoy some well-deserved pampering.
You can even use pastel or light-colored tablecloths to create the perfect tea party atmosphere. Try decorating the table with flowers, displaying desserts and cookies, and serving bite-sized snacks. You can also encourage your family and guests to dress up in their best Sunday attire!
3. Host an award show-themed party
At least every year, your mom has probably been dubbed the best mom ever. But how would you tell her that she is the best, especially? If you want to go the extra for Mother’s Day, you can give her awards with prizes! Since it’s Mother’s Day, you can invite the moms in your extended families to be the guests of honor. You can coordinate with other family members to make excellent awards for their moms!
There are a lot of fun awards to choose from on the list! You can have titles such as “The Best Chef,” “The Best Hostess,” or even some funny yet unique awards like “The Loudest Alarm” or “The Baddest Cop.” Make sure to keep the awards personal and meaningful, so choose awards that would seem fit for your group of mommies. Give them all the spotlight, and make sure that the titles are not too offensive yet still fun and unique!
You can also order some flower bouquets from the flower shop. If you have some fabulous flowers in your garden, you can also use them as awards. Just make sure not to use the ones your mother loves the most! An awards night won’t be the same without sashes, so make sure to have enough to put on all moms! You can host a usual party and have food, drinks, and activities. You can gather everyone in one room to announce the awards and their recipients. To conclude the party, you can ask moms to give “thank you” speeches and have a toast with champagne flutes that can be filled with kid-friendly drinks.
4. Go wine tasting
For some fancy time with your mom, you can go to a vineyard for some wine tasting. However, if a trip to a vineyard isn’t possible, hosting a wine-tasting party at a local restaurant or even at your home can be just as memorable. You can go to local wineries to find some wine or order some samples online, as they can also be as good quality as the imported ones.
If your mom is adventurous and likes trying new things, you can consider buying wines made from peaches, apples, and other fruits! You can partner wine with a charcuterie board or simple cheese and crackers. Just make sure also to serve something more unique!
5. Host a cocktail or mocktail party
Another fun and chill party idea is a cocktail party. You can let the moms take a break from their grown-up responsibilities by allowing them to have fun like they had before they had kids! It’s also best to host this party when most of the guests attending are grown-ups so that they can also join in the drinking. Otherwise, you can also hire a babysitter for your kids.
You can pick out some easy-to-do cocktail recipes from an online cookbook and whip out the ingredients in your blender. Using your mixology skills, you can blend some lip-smacking mocktails too! If you want a lively ambiance, DIY cocktails and mocktails are the best addition to a Mother’s Day party! At the end of the party, the guests can also hit the dance floor after a few drinks.
6. Host a spring dinner party
You can host a spring dinner party if your family wants a more intimate dinner! Sometimes, a classic dinner party with your closest loved ones makes the day extra special. Staying in has become the new form of going out, so you can make it even more exclusive with tasty bites, light wine, and some spring flowers. After serving sumptuous dinner food and a variety of wines, you can also display some flowers in white vases.
You can serve your mom’s favorite dishes with a classic dinner party and spare her from cooking them herself. You can enjoy family games and dance the night away with a playlist full of calm and nostalgic songs.
7. Host a craft party
If you want to avoid food parties, you can also consider a more intimate activity. If your mom is particularly crafty, you can even consider hosting a craft party! These classes can be fun party activities and already a gift rolled into one if you take home what you’ve made in style. These classes can be candle making, cake decorating, painting, cooking, ceramics, or whatever skill she wants to develop. You can even buy a kit online if there aren’t classes in your locality.
8. Enjoy a spa party
You can also host a spa party if you want a more chill activity. If you’re going to pamper your hard-working mom and all the other moms, treat them to a spa party at your home! You can hire an in-home spa professional who can come to your house. You can acquire different services, such as manicures and pedicures. If you want to save on resources, buy some DIY beauty scrubs and other recipes together and have fun! This activity is one of the most relaxing and effortless Mother’s Day party ideas you can do.
Moms and all other figures deserve all the love in the world for all they’re giving. Make sure to show love by planning these perfect Mother’s Day party ideas!
