6 Party Details To Help Plan Your Mother’s Day Celebration

May 8, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

Mother’s Day doesn’t have to mean an over-the-top party with matching everything, a florist on speed dial, and a dessert table that took three days and one mild breakdown to assemble. Sometimes the sweetest celebrations are built from the little details — a pretty invitation, a thoughtful table setting, a simple cake topper, or a few printable touches that make Mum feel properly loved.

If you’re planning a Mother’s Day brunch, afternoon tea, garden lunch, or casual family get-together, these Mother’s Day party ideas are a lovely place to start. They’re not about making things complicated; they’re about adding those small handmade and heartfelt touches that turn a regular family meal into something memorable. And honestly, isn’t that what mums notice most anyway?

Below you’ll find six charming Mother’s Day celebration details, from photo ideas and dessert tables to tea party invitations and printables. Pair them with a few handmade cards from our Mother’s Day card ideas or add a crafty keepsake from our Mother’s Day craft ideas if you want to make the day feel even more personal. Whether you’re hosting a big family lunch or just setting the table beautifully for tea and cake, these simple ideas will help you create a celebration that feels thoughtful, pretty, and wonderfully doable.

Knitting Machine Scarves with a Fun Twist

One of my favorite things to make on a circular knitting machine is scarves, because they’re a great way to use leftover yarn and certainly faster than knitting by hand. 

But if you pay attention to the colors you’re using and how you are using them, you can make fun knitting machine scarves that look like something different when you roll them up. 

One of the first versions of this I saw was the sushi scarf, are there are a lot of variations on this one. For example this one from Flower and Anchor that uses five colors of yarn, or this one from Three Threads NE that uses four. These generally are made to look like California rolls, but you could change up the colors to make them different things if you like. Just make sure the outside of the “roll” is black or green to indicate the nori. I found another version on Pinterest if you’re looking for a free pattern, but there’s no image of it rolled up. 

Another popular variation is making a scarf that rolls up to look like a mug with coffee, tea or another fun beverage inside. This collection of three mug scarf circular knitting machine patterns from Idaho Cottage Creation includes green tea, a pumpkin spice latte with whipped cream and a candy cane colored confection (which honestly reminds me of the Grinch since it has a green mug!). Again you can change the colors of the mug part and the drink part. The little handle looks like it’s crocheted on these, and it doubles as a loop you can thread the scarf end through when you wear it.

Again there’s a version of the green tea scarf on Pinterest with crocheted elements. I also found a latte done with a striped yarn and a red mug that’s pretty cute and gives you an idea what a different beverage would look like. 

I also love this pumpkin pie scarf designed by Jodi Favish Saunier. It has a bit of crocheted edging to give it a fancy crust but you can omit that if you don’t crochet. These are all on Facebook but she also has a watermelon and lemonade pattern that are super cute.
