Personal care and attention can easily take a backseat in the lives of women when they join the ranks of motherhood. Children, no matter what age, are the center of a mother's world, focus and attention. Celebrating a mother's upcoming birthday with easy and festive birthday party ideas is sure to make her feel like the center of attention on her special day. Does this Spark an idea?
Day of Pampering
Motherhood is an enjoyable and rewarding experience, however it can take a toll on mom's normal beauty and pampering routines. Consider treating her to a wonderful and relaxing day at the spa. Spa gift baskets, which can include a bath robe, scented candles, lotions and bath salts, can serve as a perfect gift for the day's upcoming festivities. Instead of a traditional birthday card, consider attaching a hand-written invitation or gift certificate for spa services. Spas offer services such as massages, facials, manicures and pedicures which will be sure to revive tired muscles and whisk away the stress and fatigue of motherhood. The perfect day at the spa isn't complete without prearranged babysitting and a few of her closest friends.
Another idea is to host a tea party and provide thoughtful and unique party favors, such as a collection of unique tea bags as recommended by celebrations.com. The tea party is a perfect way for the women in mom's life to reconnect while relaxing.
Family Fun
While mom may enjoy relaxing, sometimes a birthday celebration with family and friends is the ticket to enjoyment. Family outings should revolve around a particular theme or event. Host a movie day, and purchase some of her favorite movies for viewing. Ask guests to dress as their favorite movie star and bring a movie-themed gift. Don't forget to have a good selection of movie time treats for mom and guests alike.
Outside events can also provide a perfect backdrop for Mom's birthday celebration. Host a barbecue, fish fry or lobster bake. Invite old friends, family and neighbors and ask them to help celebrate the special occasion. Place disposable cameras throughout the venue and ask guests to bring a copy of their favorite recipe. After the celebration, gather the pictures and recipes and prepare a memory book for mom. Good food and good company are sure to make mom realize just how special she truly is.
Vacation
Vacations can help energize the soul and the spirit. Consider getting the girls together for a weekend getaway. Plan a trip to a local winery and stay overnight in a nearby bed and breakfast. For adventurous mothers, and families, consider booking a white-water rafting tour or skydiving adventure. Both trips can lead to memorable experiences and some quality family time. If your mom has a dream destination, consider hosting a themed destination party. Base the menu for the event on country or destination-specific appetizers, meals and drinks. Birthday gift ideas for this type of event can include travel guides and maps, and of course, the airline tickets.
