We all want to make our beloved mothers or mother figures feel special on Mother's Day each year, but we don’t always know how to do so in a unique way.

A sweet, timeless suggestion? Host a proper Mother’s Day tea! It's the perfect way to pamper Mom with treats, tea and all the love she deserves for taking care of everyone and everything!

It’s a wonderful opportunity to let the little ones dress up and actually have guests at their tea party. (Stuffed animals and dolls are, of course, still invited.)

Mother's Day tea is also a great opportunity to have a granddaughter or young child feel like they are part of a sweet gesture for mom or grandma - or both!

Hosting tea is a sweet, special occasion that will make Mom feel valued and loved, but if you’re wondering what you might serve at a Mother’s Day tea, we’ve got you more than covered.
