Communication with your children is already a holiday for any mother, especially when children become adults and in the daily bustle there is often no time left for meetings and telephone conversations. On the eve of her birthday, you can arrange a wonderful holiday for your beloved mother, which will be remembered for a long time not only by the hero of the occasion, but also by all the guests.
Preparation for the celebration
- First, you need to analyze the character and preferences of the birthday girl. If she is a calm woman, loves silence and evenings at home, you should not plan noisy fun with a large number of guests. If the mother is a public person and loves to receive guests, then home gatherings with the family are not the best holiday option.
- You should also decide on the number of guests. The list of guests must be agreed upon with the birthday girl.
- A festive atmosphere needs to be created from the very morning. A great idea for congratulating your mother on her birthday would be an unexpected visit from a flower company courier with an armful of the woman’s favorite flowers.
- If your mother is at work on a holiday, you can order a mini-concert of a small brass band under the windows of her office. The birthday girl’s favorite melodies performed by professional musicians will delight the birthday girl.
Joint shopping
Even if you know your mother’s preferences in clothes, shoes, and cosmetics well, the gift chosen together will be more practical and necessary. Discuss in advance which shopping center is best to go to and which departments to visit. For example, before the start of winter you need new boots or a fur hat. Mom will be pleased if you not only help her choose clothes or shoes, but also put it all on with your own hands, and also tell her how good this model looks on her.
Afterwards, it’s a good idea to go through the perfume department and buy your mother’s favorite perfume, renew your lipstick or nail polish. And at the end of your shopping trip, you can sit on the terrace of some cozy cafe to treat yourself to a delicious dessert.
Then both of you will remember with a smile your adventures, all the funny things and awkwardness that happened during fittings. Surely, not without pride, my mother will subsequently tell her colleagues and friends what a wonderful birthday her beloved daughter gave her. It’s great if your significant other can join you in the evening. Then it will be a real surprise for your beloved mother!
What to give?
When choosing gifts, you should start from your mother’s hobbies, and not from her responsibilities around the house. If mom doesn’t like to cook, then she won’t be very happy with even the most wonderful frying pan or saucepan. A good alternative to a gift would be gift certificates for the purchase of clothing from your favorite brand, cosmetics, or to a spa.
You can give your mother an impression. If mom loves extreme sports, then she will appreciate certificates for a parachute jump, flying at the controls of an airplane, or a hot air balloon session. And of course, flowers are always relevant - cut and collected in a bouquet or in a pot. It will be wonderful if all guests, without exception, give bouquets.
Original cake - TOP 10 cool examples
A cake may turn out to be more than just a sweet gift. Other surprises are often presented in the form of a cream pie. There are so many examples of original holiday gifts that anyone can choose interesting gift ideas for mom.
Cake in pieces
Print out a template for making a box in the shape of a piece of cake. You need to make 12 of them, glue them together and fill each one with small surprises (a sum of money, sweets, souvenirs, just congratulations and wishes). To make boxes, use thick colored paper, and the decor can be made from corrugated paper.
Fruit
For a mom who is watching her figure, the cake can be made from fruit. Place a few apples or oranges in the base and tie them around the circumference with a ribbon. You can decorate such a structure with a variety of small fruits and berries, holding the composition together with sticks and skewers. The cake can also be made from vegetables.
Venue and guest list
If you are planning a big holiday, you can invite her relatives and friends from other cities to your mother’s birthday. It is advisable to provide the option of placing them in hotels or rental housing so that guests feel comfortable.
For a festive dinner, it is better to book a table in a cafe or restaurant, and if a large number of guests are expected, it makes sense to rent the establishment completely. If the festive dinner will be held at home, you need to relieve the birthday girl from cooking and cleaning, appointing friends or relatives responsible for the treat. The party room can be decorated with flowers and balloons.
Gifts: ideas for mom's birthday
Usually, for mom, the most valuable gifts are the ones we make with our own hands. After all, our warmth and love are transmitted through them. There are plenty of ideas for homemade gifts. Choose those that you can do on your own or ask someone for help in advance.
Sweets
What's a birthday without a cake? Bake your mom a heart-shaped cake or simply decorate the top with flowers and don’t forget to add a sweet message on top. You can also make her favorite cookies or buy candies and place a greeting on the table.
Postcards and posters
Another gift idea for mom is to make a card or poster. If you are not very good at drawing, don’t be upset, it was even worse in childhood, but my mother liked it. Write about how much she means to you and how grateful you are for all her hard work. This gift will definitely touch your mother.
Family kaleidoscope
Mothers cherish in their memory the brightest moments of our childhood. They remember our first words, first steps and first successes. It is very touching for a mother to give a small family kaleidoscope on this day. You can design it as you wish. It can be done in a humorous or even cartoon form. The main thing is to remind you that your mother was always there for you in all the important moments of your life.
Theme and scenario of the holiday
If your mother loves, for example, Indian films or Italian opera, you can throw a themed party by turning the restaurant hall into a Rajah's palace or the stage of an opera house. Or perhaps it’s worth reminding your mother of your cheerful, carefree youth and throwing a party in the style of a dude. All guests must adhere to the dress code of the chosen style. The highlight of the celebration will be a specially prepared cake reflecting the theme of the evening.
To develop a scenario for your mother’s birthday, you can involve proactive relatives and friends or turn to the services of professional presenters. The holiday program should include various quizzes and competitions with symbolic prizes. It is also advisable to agree on a playlist with the DJ or host, reflecting the style of the party and including mother’s favorite songs.
The entertainment program can include such interesting moments as soap bubble shows, fire shows, dance performances, performances of magicians and mimes.
Such a holiday definitely needs to be captured as a memory. Therefore, you can take a good camera to the celebration or hire a professional photographer.
How to celebrate Mother's Day at home
An integral part of Mother's Day celebrations is a festive dinner. You can't let mom do the work herself. Most likely, mom will take the initiative anyway, but it’s up to you to organize a feast.
- Buy everything for snacks and light salads, mom’s favorite sweets, fruits and drinks.
- Set the table yourself and do the bulk of the preparations for the holiday.
- It will be a pleasant surprise for mom if you invite her favorite friends. Mom will certainly appreciate how much effort and attention was paid to her holiday, and will be very touched.
- At the end of the feast, it is better to give a gift - this will be a pleasant end to the Mother's Day celebration.
However you decide to celebrate Mother's Day, the main rule is to do everything your mother loves. In this way, you will say better than any words or gifts how much you love her.
Spend the day together in an unusual setting
Think: what have you never done together that you both might enjoy? For example, take a cooking class or a craft class. Go shopping together if you usually shop separately from each other. Even a simple trip to the cinema will help you have an unusual day, if you haven’t been able to go there together before. The main thing is that the activity is not similar to how you usually spend your time. This way you and your mother will get impressions that you can discuss later.
Have a beauty day
Book yourself and your mom in advance at the beauty salon to get a manicure together. Or prepare everything for a spa at home: face masks, ingredients to make hand baths or home pedicures. And also take care of relaxing music or just a playlist with her favorite artists. Giving her this kind of rest and relaxation is a good way to show how much you care and love her.
A holiday for mom - Between us girls.
It happened that your husband’s working day or business trip fell on March 8, or by this very day your relationship with your loved one suddenly broke down or didn’t work out at all? Do not despair. The holiday is still possible! And it will be exclusively for women - in the format of a bachelorette party with school, college friends or work colleagues. We are convinced that you will not be bored, remembering cheerful student adventures, the first gentlemen, the first marriage proposals, the first sexual experience, commenting on everyday romances, the quirks of male jealousy, singing the delights of new guipure underwear and a lace penyuarch - in other words, everything that is in company of men, as a rule, is not subject to heated ironic discussion. After all, if today is Women's Day, then why not celebrate it in an all-female company? By the way, during the evening you can go to a male striptease...
Holiday for mom - On a sports wave.
As a rule, we associate holidays, if not with a feast, then with some tasty excesses. But, if there is a desire, it is quite possible to change the usual stereotypes and spend the holiday extremely actively. A good option is visiting a sports club. Now, in addition to traditional swimming pools and gyms, many sports centers offer holiday entertainment programs for the whole family. There is an opportunity to relax both fun and useful. Have you always wanted to go bowling? Why not do it today? Maybe you want to try yourself as a special forces soldier? Then you will surely enjoy laser paintball in the labyrinth. Do you like horse riding? There is nothing impossible in enjoying a horse ride. A fun event for the whole family will be ice skating on the indoor skating rink or, weather permitting, skiing and sledding in one of the parks. Why not combine business with pleasure and have a holiday in the sauna? You can go there with your whole family or alone with your husband. You can get together with 2-3 families or have a bachelorette party in the sauna, leaving the children in the care of their husbands. There are many options, it all depends on your wishes.
Arrange a quest for her to find gifts
Make your gift giving creative and touching at the same time.
Prepare a real quest for mom. To do this, you will need a postcard and 5-7 small notes, which will need to be hidden in different parts of the apartment. In the card, indicate what she will need to do. For example: “Dear mother! Your gift is hidden and you need to find it. The first clue is in the gift I gave you last New Year.” Let mom find it in the vase you gave for the last holiday.
In the second note, include another clue. Choose items that bring memory or joy to your mother: gifts received from you and loved ones, favorite dishes, decorative items.
And in the last note, indicate the place where the gift is actually hidden. For example: “Congratulations, you did it! Your gift is in the kitchen, in the cabinet you open most often!”
Finding a gift will show your mom that you know what's important to her, and will also make you feel better before the holiday dinner.
