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.
