Celebrate Moms with Royal Treatment
Invitations:
* Reproduce a recent photo of your Mom with family members and use as your invitation stock. (If 8x10 photo prints are out of your budget, use color copies instead, even if it’s a black and white shot.) Affix to a cardboard heart so she knows you all always keep her close to yours.
* Trim your invitation with faux jewels, stickers, glittery decorations to create a command invitation for your royal Moms.
Atmosphere:
* Roll out a red carpet to let mom feel like the queen she is.
* Then set a regal, jeweled crown upon her head to make her feel truly royal.
* Crown all of the royal loyal guests with cardboard crowns you've decorated with jewels and treasures.
* Go even more elegant with crowns for the other mothers in attendance...or in waiting.
* Select an tableware design that is as elegant as she is.
* Gold and silver doilies will add a royal touch to your table decor.
* Make her feel as if you "treasure her" by suspending beads over your dining table or from your chandelier.
* Choose a picture of mom with each guest and slip into an attractive frame to serve as table decoration and a place card.
* Tell your mom she's a "jewel" by using beaded bracelets as your napkin rings.
* Add further color to your cloth by scattering colorful pearl beads on your table.
* Wear your (illuminated) heart on your sleeve or anywhere else you choose to show mom how much you love her.
* Individualize glasses by adorning them with colorful beaded elasticized bracelets
* For a regal table use a cloth of gold mylar, gold foil plates and cups.
* Set an arrangement of flowers you've picked from the "royal" garden or an Eliza Doolittle-type 'flower girl" you've met along the roadside and put into a teapot or a teapot-design container for a charming centerpiece.
* Attach each name card to a mini floral tea pot or go with the royal vegetable garden theme and use veggie-style tea pots for color, style and an inexpensive party favor.
* Decorate her "throne room" with Queen Anne's Lace. You can find this inexpensive, lacy flower at florists and growing wild along roadsides.
Activities:
* She'll be crying tears of joy when you pop in home movies of you and your siblings/grandchildren. Or tell her she's better than any on-screen mom and then lay in a stock of "mom" movies such as "I Remember Mama," "Terms of Endearment" "Bachelor Mother" or other favorites for your DVD player or VCR.
* Fill the air with beautiful music that celebrates mom.
* Get the kids to sing along with lively "Mother Goose" songs.
* Gather her "subjects" for a "royal command performance" to read a special note or poem you've written or selected from a collection of poetry to dear old mom. Or create a chorus to sing one of her favorite songs or one that praises mom such as "Mammy" or "MOTHER" (M is for the many things she gave me...). A kazoo band playing one of her favorites will likely bring tears and cheers as well.
Refreshments:
* Let your mom feel like the "queen mum" with a garden tea party in her honor. Drape the table with a floral design collection like this charming Roses and Pearls style paperware.
* Use spring cookie cutters to cut bread for hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches or sugar cookies to keep your mom in a sweet mood at her royal tea.
* Fill decorative baskets and bowls with side dishes, salads and sweets.
* Frame bowls with gold paper crowns for royal flair.
* You'll find great brunch to serve your mom in bed from the Epicurious.com site or tempting tea sandwich selections from FoodTV.com
