You might not realize it, but Mother’s Day is just around the corner! What do you buy her? Where should you take her? How do you tell her how much you love her? All the moms in your life, whether they be friends, sisters, cousins, grandparents or mother-in-laws, deserve to be showered in love, so show them just how much you appreciate all they do with an intimate afternoon filled with flowers, food, and a few laughs. Hosting a Mother’s Day brunch is a wonderful way to show all the mothers in your life how special they are.
To help prevent stress, the best hosts plan ahead. Get started by drafting these essential lists: guests, menus, and grocery items. To ensure you’re pleasing everyone’s brunch cravings, combine sweet and savoury brunch staples, such as pancakes, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. Have an assortment of toppings for your pancakes, such as jam, maple syrup, and butter, and setting up everything buffet-style will ensure everyone is happy and gets what they want! And don’t forget the mimosas!
For a stress-free Mother's Day brunch, keep it casual. Create a picnic feel by setting a low table and surrounding it with cushions. Think colorful tablecloths or blankets with simple patterned white plates, a mix of colored glasses, and fresh flowers. For some DIY inspiration, include handmade placemats, lacy paper plates, family photos, streamers, banners, and more. Even the most minuscule details can make your Mom’s day, so don’t skip on the small stuff! Try incorporating sentimental pieces, like your great grandmother’s china or cutlery, into your tablescape (Mom WILL notice!!). A Mother’s Day brunch should certainly have an element of formality to it, so now is a great opportunity to break out those linens, fine china, and complementary colors. Little treasures, like potted succulents at each place setting, are pretty conversation starters.
Obviously, simply spending time together is great in and of itself. But when hosting a brunch, it’s nice to fill the time with a few planned activities. Crafting is a popular way to do that and get the whole family involved. If you’re honoring several moms at your brunch, you can play “guess who.” Have all the moms in attendance make a short list of things they did before they became a mom. Then scramble the lists and hand them out to all the kids in attendance and have them guess which list belongs to who. You can offer candy as prizes for those who get it right. Go around the table and ask guests to share a motherhood experience (whether it be a fond memory, a profound moment, or just a silly mishap) is a great way to share the love.
Be it a small brunch for two or for multiple loved ones, this is an opportunity to make memories. The important thing, when hosting, is to remember to have fun! Preparing in advance, adding a few special touches, and keeping it light will help set the tone for a joyful and stress-free ambiance. Enjoy coming together and celebrating motherhood!
