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.

Cross Stitch Sheep Projects

As a knitter, I love a good sheep motif, so let’s take a look at some cute sheep cross stitch patterns. 

If you want to stitch a little sheep, this mini square from Good Dog Needleworks is a nice choice. It uses just three colors and measures 32 by 32 stitches. That’s 2.2 inches or about 5.5 cm square if you stitch it on 14 count fabric. 

I also love these two little sheep, which you can stitch together or in individual hoops and shown. The designs are form Threadbound Art and use six colors. They are slightly different in size, with one being 21 by 17 stitches and the other 21 by 20. They fit in four inch frames if you work them on 14 count fabric. 

You can stitch a sweet sheep bookmark with this design from Kits by SA Stitch. This is not for the person who doesn’t like back stitch, because there’s a lot of that here, but it is really cute. It measures 30 by 91 stitches and uses 10 colors. That will make your bookmark about 2.4 by 6.5 inches, or 6 by 16.5 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Stitch a pretty scene of sheep in a meadow with this design from Motok Nytok. It uses 21 colors and the design is 99 by 73 stitches. On 14 count fabric that makes it about 7.07 by 5.21 inches, or 17.96 by 13.24 cm. 

This yarn full of cross stitch sheep has a bit of a knitting twist because the sheep all look like they have sweaters on. The design is from Soda Stitch Design and it measures 179 by 216 stitches. The full design uses 27 colors. On 14 count fabric it will work out to 12.78 by 15.42 inches, or 32.48 by 39.19 cm. 

Another great one with a knitting theme is this one where the wool is coming off the sheep and straight onto the needles. This one is from Happy Cross Stitchers and uses 12 colors. The pattern is 137 by 137 stitches, which comes out to 9.7 inches or 24.86 cm square on 14 count fabric. This would be a fun one to stitch for the knitter in your life (even if that is you). 

Or you can stitch the field of sheep of a knitter’s dreams with the Happy Sheep chart from Charts and Stuff. These per-colored sheep can be stitched as shown or worked in any colors you like. The eyes are French knots but you can just stitch them in white if you’d rather.
