Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May (May 8th, 2016). "A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." - Agatha Christie

There are very many ways of bringing in Mother's Day as never before. We have discussed some of them here.

A Mother's Day Outing That is Memorable
An exclusive Mother's Day is very much a possibility. One way of doing so is by planning an exclusive day out for your mother and you. The whole family can also be included in this plan of yours. Think of some exotic yet approachable place that can be the venue of your 1 day excursion. A boat house, riverside, a nature park or an amusement park. A fun outing is just the key to a unique Mother's Day festivity

Journey to a Mothers' Heart
Giving Mother's Day gifts is a common trend. How about you making it a journey in itself. Something that she is going to cherish for a long time, the memories associated with getting the Mothers Day present. Turn the whole process of exchanging gifts into a treasure hunt for your mom. Lead her on towards her gift with clues that take her from one unforgettable location to the next.

Throw an Outdoor Mother's Day Party
Bring in this Mother's Day in a grand way. Why do things on a small scale? Organise a surprise Mothers Day celebration that includes all the people special to your mum. And even if the surprise slips out a couple of days before the party, fear not because your mother would still be as happy with your effort. The food, fun, music and games should all be centered around the theme of the occasion, mother or Mother's Day.

Reunion of 'Mothers' on Mother's Day
Okay this is another idea that asks for some elaborate planning and execution. Send invites to all your mother's friends or are in her immediate know-how. Make it a get-together or a gala event with fun, food, some organised entertainment and a fair that should showcase the talents of the participants. The size of the celebration can be varied according to resources, time and finances. At the end of it all, you can dedicate this event in your mother's name.
