Easy Decorating Ideas to Celebrate Mom on her Special Occasion

Whether it's Mother's Day, your mom's birthday or a celebration for the mom to be, I'm thrilled to be able to show you how to celebrate mom on her special occasion with these easy decorating ideas. This easy set-up is geared to be re-created at home and using a lot of what you already have available to you.

When it comes to the food being served, you can replace the desserts with pancakes and mimosas for an easy brunch. Or, maybe even a waffle bar. Serving any of mom's favorite brunch items will surely make her feel the love of the celebration.

For the focal piece to hold the yummy food and where you will be able to decorate the wall as a pretty backdrop, you can look inside your house for a fun piece of furniture. This can be a night stand, a small piece of furniture you have in a hallway, etc. Simply move this piece to where you want it displayed for the special occasion.

On the wall behind the piece of selected furniture, I created a wall art with oversized paper flowers. These flowers became the theme that I used throughout the celebration as you’ll see even in the frosted cookies. You can even use tissue paper pom poms or draw some cute flowers onto card stock paper and carefully attach them to the wall. I use 3M command strips so my wall paint will be safe after removing it. I also choose this color scheme as lately I’ve been in LOVE with how they look together, you can choose any color combo, or use mom’s favorite!

The more cake toppers the better is my motto! This cake features the prettiest of printable banners (available below) for mom and there's even extra fancy sugar cookies tucked on top for extra sweetness and prettiness. I just loved how it turned out, and it is an easy way to dress up any store bought cake!

Since, I always must have a party banner at my celebrations, I created this FREE printable "We Love You Mom" banner that is available exclusive to my email subscribers. If you're not already a member of the Mint Event Design Party - simply join below and this printable banner, plus the other printables from this party are yours for FREE. The entire printable Mom Celebration collection which includes the wall banner, cupcake toppers that also serve as cake toppers when paired together, and drink flags is an instant download.

If you're new to my parties - you will quickly see that I love sweets and having my party tables full of them. But, you can definitely replace the sweets with anything mom loves to eat. Even a salad bar is a super cute idea.

If you plan to serve sweets for your mom's special celebration, you can even top the cupcakes with frosted cookies - doubling the sweetness for a sweet mom. The same can even be done with the cookies for dressing up the party cake on top. Mixing macarons with frosted cookies creates a beautiful display. And, of course, you don't want to forget about confetti in matching colors for your party. It's the best table scatter to add a fun decor element around the displays of the sweets.

How do you plan on celebrating mom on her special day(s)? Please be sure to tag me on Instagram if you use any of these design ideas and/or party printables @minteventdesign. I can't wait to see what you create.
