Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Now is the time to start planning your special activities for this special day. Have you ever considered a Mother-Daughter tea party? This can include family and friends also. Below are just a few ideas to get your tea party rolling.
Keep in mind that simple is better. If you keep things simple it will be easier and more elegant without all of the worries. Don’t have a full tea set sitting around? You can find some very nice sets in places like Goodwill, flea markets or thrift stores at a very reasonable price. Another idea is to ask everyone to bring their own special set. This will allow everyone to tell why these sets are so special to them.
First things first, decide on a particular theme for your tea party. Below are three simple yet special themes you can try.
The Mother-Daughter Theme
This works well with Mothers who have grown up daughters. Keep the decorations simple like small flower arrangements that will grace the table alongside the tea cups and saucers. This setting will be pleasing to the eyes and the heart. The menu can consist of finger sandwiches, cookies and scones. Have the Mothers and daughters write a note or letter to each sharing how much they love and appreciate each other.
The Mommy & Me Theme
For the Moms of younger girls this will be really cute. Mom can dress up elegantly and the girls can rummage through Mom’s closet to find dresses, shoes, gloves and jewelry to be equally as elegant as Mom. This tea party can include cookies or simple finger foods along with lemonade, punch or hot chocolate. Create the invitations to request every child to bring a stuffed animal guest to share the table.
The Summer Time Tea Party
We all know that Mother’s Day is celebrated in May. This is just prior to the official start of the summer season. Why not take this opportunity to serve flavored iced tea instead. Instead of tea cups use iced tea glasses and serve the typical summer time appetizers. Everyone can dress in straw hats, sunglasses and flip-flops or sandals. This should get you excited about the warmer weather to come.
Brewing tea actually isn’t that difficult. Once you learn the ins and outs you will be able to brew the perfect pot of tea. You can start by purchasing the sampler boxes of tea. This will allow everyone a choice. You can also add flavorings to a glass of iced tea for a refreshing taste.
These are just a few suggestions for a Mother- Daughter tea party. These ideas will make your tea party a success and allow you to have fun and enjoy each others company. Who knows this could become a tradition that could last for generations to come.

Mother’s Day was created to honor the job of being a Mother. It’s not just about giving gifts and eating good food. The tradition of honoring Mother’s dates back to the time of gods and goddesses. The United States, Mexico and Canada did not recognize and celebrate Mother’s Day until 1908. Over 40 countries were recognizing and celebrating Mother’s Day by the year 1948, but it was not observed on the same day.
Everyone’s Mother is special. Many of us tell our Mother’s everyday all year long that we love them. Mother’s Day can actually be the perfect day to show our Mother’s just how much we appreciate them. By careful planning ahead of time these thoughtful ideas can be a way to show her just how much you care.
