Your mom has always been there for you. She changed your diapers. She made sure you had everything you needed for school. She even stood by you during all of your teenage hormonal attitude changes and ridiculous fads. To top it all off, she has loved you through it all.
Now that you are grown up, it is time for you to pay your mom back for all that she did for you – and to thank her for being the amazingly strong woman that she is. Sure, you can say it in a card or in a nice gift. But, why not show her how much she means by throwing her an awesome Mother’s Day party?
We’ve got all the ideas you’ll need for a Mother’s Day party.
An outdoor venue
This can be more important depending on where you reside. However, for those who have dealt with the wintry weather for the last several months, embracing spring with an outdoor party seems like the most enjoyable option. While you may be thinking that outdoors during springtime can bring rain and muddy weather, you will have no worries – if you choose to rent a tent.
Tent rentals can provide the perfect outdoor party place. They will keep you covered and safe from inclement weather. By opting for flooring, you will be free from the muddy ground. And, if you choose to have clear sidewalls, your mother and her guests will feel as though they are having a garden party outdoors – especially with all of the springtime blooms to surround yourselves with.
You can choose the size of your tent so that you will be sure to get the right size for the space you have. Then, you can choose things such as the type of flooring, side walls, or even an elegant glass entryway.
However you choose to design it, your mother is sure to love it.
The décor
Does your mother have a favorite color? Or does she have a favorite hobby or collectible? Design your Mother’s Day party around your mom. After all, it is all about her.
Create a theme based on the things that she loves. For example, if your mom loves playing tennis, design the décor to circle all around the sport – from the table centerpieces to the goodie bags. The same goes for a mom who is a movie buff, or one who loves palm trees and flamingos.
The key is to personalize the décor so that your mom knows that this party was created just for her.
So, leave your desires and dislikes at home and focus your attention on your mother.
Food and cocktails
Choosing the food you will have at your Mother’s Day party will greatly vary, depending on what type of event you are hosting.
Will it be a formal, plated dinner? Are you more of the buffet-type? Perhaps you would just prefer finger foods and munchies, rather than anything complicated. Or, maybe a Mother’s Day brunch is more her style?
The same holds true when it comes to the cocktails. You may or may not want to serve alcoholic beverages. Or, you may want to throw them all in a cooler and let the guests pick their own. You could, however, consider this: discover a cocktail that your mom would love that fits the theme of the party – then name it after your mom. This can even be the only cocktail served.
You have a lot of choices – what would your mother prefer?
Make your Mother’s Day party entertaining
You may think that moms don’t like to have fun. Maybe you think they are too stiff and boring. But, trust and believe that your mom enjoys having fun just as much as you – maybe even more.
You will want to make sure that there is entertainment at your Mother’s Day party.
Entertainment comes in many forms. It can be in the form of:
- a live band that plays your mom’s favorite tunes.
- a DJ.
- a gigantic stack of board games and the like for your mom, friends, and family to have fun with.
- an interactive craft station where your mom and all the guests can create something that represents your mother. Or just a craft in general. An idea would be to use the theme to come up with something unique for the guests to create.
- put on a talent show and let your mother be the judge.
There are so many ideas you could choose from when it comes to entertaining your mom and her guests. Just be sure that you keep the focus on your mom and her likes, rather than entertainment to suit yourself.
The big gift
You may or may not want to provide your mom with a gift at her Mother’s Day party. Perhaps you want to consider the party as her gift. Or, maybe you prefer a more intimate moment for gift-giving to this incredible woman. However, you should make a point to give her the acknowledgment she deserves at her party. It may drive her to tears, but they are sure to be tears of joy.
Sometime during the party, give a speech about your mother. Raise your glass for a toast, give her a framed photo, or a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Speak from your heart and let your mother know all the reasons why she is deserving of all this praise – and a party.
The memory well made
Years from now, all you will have are memories. It is up to you to make those memories bold and highlighted in your mind. By choosing to throw your mom a party for Mother’s Day, you are sure to leave a lasting impression on the both of you.
These are memories you can never lose.
Take the time to put together a party that she will never forget. After all that she has done for you throughout your life, you can do this for her.
Build the theme, the décor, the food, and the entertainment around your mom. Then, sit back and watch the smile on her face grow with each passing moment.
And, of course, don’t forget to say, “Happy Mother’s Day, mom.”
