Mother's Day Luncheon Ideas

RE: Mother's Day Luncheon Ideas Post By Margie Minard (Guest Post) (02/10/2007) Go to Goodwill or Salvation Army stores, etc., and buy pretty cups and saucers, fill with a couple of flavored tea bags and small, individual packs of good cookies. Mugs and coffee bags with cookies are nice, too. A poem or note about the birthmother's warm love could be attached to the handle with a ribbon. Our daughter gave a baby boy up for adoption nine years ago. Though it hurt us all at the time, we knew it was the greatest act of love she could give him. The parents keep in touch with us and send pictures every birthday. They are wonderful.

Take a picture digitally of each mother as she enters and print it to fit the frame, giving her a moment in time to recall her day of recognition. RE: Mother's Day Luncheon Ideas Post By Cate. (Guest Post) (02/06/2007) Baby's breath is inexpensive and easily divided; local supermarkets usually have 'you-make" selections of flowers for floral arranging that feature some form of baby's breath as well as ready-made mixed flower bouquets. If you separate the bbbth into smaller branches and place a single blossom in the center (representing the mother), taken from the mixed bouquet, make a cone of colored tissue (available in multi-colored packs at the $ store) and tie a ribbon, perhaps, with a salt/flour clay heart attached (or cornstarch clay; recipes available on the internet-very low cost and can be incised with a message or made flat for a sticker), you should have a low-cost, fine-looking, thoughtful gift.
