Having a Mother’s Day brunch is one of the more popular ways to celebrate the day. Going out to your mother’s favorite restaurant, or one that she has been speaking about trying, is an option; however, creating a well thought out, personal Mother’s Day brunch at home will provide an intimate and warm touch.
Guest List
Determine who you want to invite to the brunch– only your mother or others. This can be extended to other family members like aunts, grandmother, and sisters. You could also choose to have a more open event with your mother and her friends or other mothers in your community. Another option is to have an event with your friends who are mothers. Invite them all for a day to enjoy.
When to Host
The day you choose to host your event is dependent on the guest list. If you’re hosting a small gathering with family, then the Sunday of Mother’s Day will work. However, if you choose to invite friends and other mothers in your community, then having your celebration on the Saturday before Mother’s Day or you even might want to consider hosting on the weekend before.
What to Serve
The food is the most important part of the brunch. You could always cater the food for a simple approach. For those of you who are more kitchen savvy and enjoy cooking, make the food yourself. You could have a mix of both or separate the cooking. Having a mother, daughter event where the daughters make a dish potluck style to serve everyone. Choose sweet and savory options for your brunch.
