    Mother’s Day Tea Ideas

    Why do we have to fit Mother’s Day into one day? It can be so much pressure. Do you celebrate with your mom or your spouse’s mom? What about yourself if you are a mom? What about your neighbor who doesn’t have anyone to celebrate with? For additional Themes for Tea Parties read here.

    Many people also go to church on Mother’s Day and that may leave little time to plan an event or luncheon. So the first step is to choose a day that can be all about your special loved ones and the Tea Party.

    How To Create A Special Mother’s Day Tea

    • Choose a date that is convenient for everyone.
    • Create a guest list. Will it just be two or three or will you invite several more people?
    • Send a Cute Invite like the one below or through a phone call invite.
    • Create a menu. This can be small like Tea and Scones, or more elaborate and include sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts.
    • You can create a pretty tablescape with china, teacups, teapots, flowers, etc, or choose pretty paper plates and cups (they have a large selection of these now)
    • Choose the tea to serve. Loose-leaf tea or tea bags. Herbal, Black, Green, or Chai Tea.
    • Choose a Tea Gift for the person of honor.
    • Give Table Favors to the guests.

    What if you can’t be together with Mom this year?

      Thanks! I'm going to pin this. If I ran another Mother's daughter banquet, I was going to do a tea theme–so those pinterest boards will come in handy.

      Lovely suggestions. My kids and I have always "taken tea" – a fact many find surprising given four of them are boys 🙂 Our Winnie The Pooh teapot has always been a favorite.
