Mother's Day Games & Brunch Ideas

This Mother's Day show mom she's appreciated with a special Mother's Day brunch complete with games and her favorite food and drinks. Moms of every age deserve a special Mother's Day, and enjoying a fun brunch with her family can be a great way to start the day.

Games

Guessing guests by their baby photos is a classic crowd pleaser. Plus, baby photos make cute and easy decorations. If mom is a film buff, you can reenact scenes from her favorite movies. Gear the games to the interest of the moms, if she likes gambling, play poker. For a mom that enjoys intrigue, try a murder mystery game brunch.

Decorations

In addition to the baby photos of the guests on display decorate with bouquets of fresh cut flowers. If you are having a theme party like a "Murder Mystery," your decorations should reflect that. Check party stores for party decor to match the theme of your Mother's Day brunch.

Brunch

Brunch, that tasty combo of breakfast and lunch, should offer indulgent treats that mom usually doesn't make for herself. Eggs Benedict and French toast stuffed with jam and cream cheese are good breakfast fare options. Chicken salad made with basil and apples and a citrus salad are excellent lunch options. Offer sweets to round out the meal like strawberry shortcake. The brunch should also include mom's favorites. If she is a chocolate fanatic, offer a decadent chocolate cake. If she's a health nut, serve her favorite healthy meals.

Beverages

Serve your mother's favorite alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Make sweet tea, spicy chai tea or a decadent hot chocolate topped with whipped creme. If mom likes to imbibe make mimosas with orange juice and champagne or bloody marys with vodka and tomato juice.
