It’s less than a week now to Mothers Day (and you’ve been reminded now so there’s no excuse for forgetting!) so it’s time to think of ways to say ‘Thank you!’ to your Mum.
Plan a Party
If your Mum enjoys social occasions and get togethers, try surprising her with a party? Send invitations to friends and relatives that she enjoys spending time with, but be careful only to invite those who will keep the party’s mood fun, and relaxing. Look through past party photo albums or digital photo albums to get an idea of who best to invite.
Don’t forget though that this is your Mum’s surprise party. You want her to be the queen for the day, so pick drinks and food that are easy to serve and clean up. You definitely don’t want your Mum left in the kitchen with a pile of washing up!
Decorate the party with a “Happy Mother’s Day” banner along with lots of lovely flowers, balloons, streamers and anything that will help make your Mum feel special.
Plan a Day Out
Not everyone likes parties, so if your Mum isn’t a fan, or you think she’d prefer to spend time with close family members, why not plan a day out? Visit an exhibition, take in a show, or simply visit the movies together. Make a day of it by including lunch or dinner at their favourite restaurant, then sit back and enjoy some quality time together.
Inexpensive Mothers Day Ideas
You don’t necesarily have to spend a lot of money to make it a day to remember. Start the day with breakfast in bed, then put the washing on, prepare lunch, wash the dishes etc. Whatever routine chores your Mum normally does, why don’t you do it for a change. It won’t just give your Mum a break but it might also remind you just how much your Mum does for you!
). Like any ‘normal’ party you can have food, drink, music and games and I’ve made a few suggestions for each below:
