Step 1: Make sure she’s free

Okay, the first step is vital. You need to make sure that your mom is free on the day that you’re planning the party. There are two ways you can do this. First of all, you could ask your dad and make sure that he keeps the day free for her. Or, you might want to make fake plans with her so that she is busy with you that day. Either way, it’s important to ensure that she will be around when you need her.

Step 2: Choose a theme

Next, it’s time to choose a theme. After all, no party is complete without a theme. One of the best you can pick is a tea party. That way, you can set up a table in the garden and make loads of yummy food for the two of you to enjoy. You might even want to grab some Champagne for the occasion too.

 

Step 3: Create some DIY decorations

Decorating the area is essential. You could make your own bunting and posters for the area. A beautiful tablecloth and some pretty centerpieces will go a seriously long way too. If you want to make things extra special, why not make a banner too. She will love all the effort you’ve gone to here.


Step 4: Start cooking!

No one knows your mother better than you do. That is a fact that you just cannot deny. So, you should make sure that you cook up some of her favorite food right away. From delicious sandwiches to lovely cakes, she is sure to adore anything you make. What’s more, each and every snack will have an extra ingredient; love!

Step 5: Think about entertainment

Once the party gets started, how are you going to entertain your mom? You might want o grab some board games or even choose a movie to watch together. The important thing is that this is a chance to spend some quality time with your mother. That’s all that matters.

Step 6: Don’t forget the flowers

Finally, the finishing touch! Don’t forget to go out and get your mom a bouquet of her favorite flowers. She is sure to be surprised when you hand them over. This little gesture shows just how much you really appreciate all she does. If you do all that, I’m sure your mom will have the best day ever.
