11 Lovely Mother’s Day Party Ideas (2024)

Mothers deserve to be celebrated all year round. But Mother’s Day, and these Mother’s Day party ideas, give us the chance to set aside the time to do something special for the moms or mother figures in our lives.

Along with our party suggestions ahead, we’ll also share party venue information, in case you want to hold your Mother’s Day party somewhere other than her dining room. These spaces come courtesy of Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals. Use our simple platform to discover and book spaces as unique as your Mom herself!

After all, sometimes flowers and cards delivered with breakfast in bed just don’t cut it. What do you do for the woman (or women) who have done everything for you? Here are some Mother’s Day party ideas that will show Mom just how much she means to you.

1. Book an unforgettable party venue rental through Peerspace

Give mom an enchanting escape by hosting a Mother’s Day party in a lovely, exciting venue. On Peerspace, you can rent a loft, mansion, art gallery, cafe, and more for any of these Mother’s Day party ideas. It’s the perfect way to let her know you appreciate her personality and style. No matter where you live, you can find a Peerspace venue with fabulous amenities and considerate touches.

Booking an event venue for a Mother’s Day party, the process should be as easy as booking a hotel room. And with Peerspace, it is. With the Airbnb of event venues, you can find a space for everything from a corporate meeting to a Mother’s Day celebration. In fact, if you can think of a place, it’s most likely available to rent by the hour on Peerspace.

Some of our favorite options include:

• This newly remodeled mid-century desert oasis in Scottsdale, AZ (pictured above) with an airy, open floor plan, a modern kitchen space, and an outdoor pool surrounded by a mural and loungers.
• This chic loft-like dream space in Harlem, NYC with plenty of sunlight, a full kitchen, a dining area, a parlor, and adorable decor.
• Cipresso Castle – a luxury Tudor mansion in Atlanta, GA with a piano, marble floors, a vintage royal ambiance, and landscaped outdoor areas on a lake.
• This versatile art gallery in Chicago, IL with an open layout, surround sound, tables and chairs, a BYO policy, and optional workshop class add-on services.
• This trendy rooftop lounge in Los Angeles, CA with flexible seating, a partial kitchen, a fire pit, and stunning city views.

We think most Moms would love spending time with their kids in one of these fabulous spaces! Not only do you get to rent a stunning space for a few hours with Peerspace, but you also get the full support of your venue’s local host. These dedicated professionals may offer gourmet catering, special lighting, or a karaoke machine at their venues. And if not, ask them if they can help you source it from trusted vendors.

Not too shabby for a straightforward booking system! Ahead, we’ll share some excellent Mother’s Day party ideas and include suggestions for real Peerspace venues that we think you and your mom will love!

2. Host a brunch and serve all of her favorite decadent treats

Let mom sleep in on her special day by hosting brunch instead of breakfast. All you need is enough seating and a stellar menu of her favorite breakfast items. Serve Bloody Mary drinks and various flavors of mimosas (like orange, mango, pineapple, and grapefruit). For the food, serve light breakfast bites like egg muffins, quiches, yogurt parfaits, mini muffins, scones, doughnut holes, or croissants. You can also opt to go full-on big breakfast party mode with a pancake or french toast bar complete with toppings and syrups.

Does Mom prefer more satisfying noshes? Go all out with a bagel wall — a savory twist on the donut walls that you see all over wedding Pinterest boards! Many bagel places even offer catering so that you can serve various sweet and savory flavors of cream cheese, too.

The table is the center of attention at a brunch party, so spruce up your dining table by adding some vases of her favorite flowers or tiny potted succulents to the tables, then find some cute napkins that suit your mother’s personality.

Prefer to let someone else do the cooking? We get it! Why not book a cute cafe space, like this unique European-style cafe for events in West Palm Beach, FL, and let them handle the catering? The host offers customized brunch food and drinks so you can ensure the perfect Mother’s Day brunch for you and your Mom!

3. Make the day as elegant as Mom herself and throw a tea party

One of the most unforgettable Mother’s Day party ideas is an old-fashioned tea party. This should be ideal for your Mom if she loves to dress up and prefers tea over coffee. If you can find a local tea room that hosts parties, planning will be a breeze. If not, don’t worry. You can do it yourself with enough teapots, cups, saucers, tables, and chairs. 

To create the perfect tea party atmosphere, use cloth tablecloths instead of plastic, place flowers on every table, display desserts on three-tiered cake stands, and serve tiny sandwiches and bite-sized desserts like macarons. Encourage guests to dress up in their best clothes (it’s not a tea party without fancy hats!).

4. Give the best Mom ever her flowers

You know your mom is the best ever (no bias, of course), but how do you let her know in a special way for Mother’s Day? If you know her love language is words of affirmation, consider having everyone give her some superlative awards. The awards can be made with hand-lettering or calligraphy on pretty paper like cardstock or scrapbooking paper, painted on wooden blocks, cross-stitched, or etched onto custom plaques.

It is a perfect idea for those who love to get creative and give meaningful, handmade gifts. Incorporate this suggestion with other Mother’s Day party ideas for an extra-sweet touch.

5. Take Mom on a wine-tasting adventure

Head to a local winery (sometimes they even host live music for guests to enjoy) or host your own wine-tasting party at home! If you select some bottles at Costco, you can guarantee you’ll be sampling quality wine. Or, if you have the time, order some samples from subscription boxes online. Winc, VineBox, and Wine Awesomeness are all superb subscription box options (VineBox even features mini, test tube-size samples). 

If she likes to branch out, consider buying some wines made from tart cherries, peaches, apples, or even pineapples. If you want to serve more than just cheese and crackers, shop around at a local chocolate shop or ice cream parlor, and design a wine-and-dessert pairing experience just for mom. 

Make an event out of it and book a sensational winery on Peerspace! For instance, check out this beautiful vineyard winery in Manson, WA. You and Mom can enjoy the amazing lake and mountain views while sipping wine and hot and gooey pizzas straight from the on-site pizza oven.

6. Get creative with Mom and host a craft party

If your Mom is artsy, consider hosting a party at a workshop. Make-and-take classes are fun parties, and gifts rolled into one. You can find classes for cake decorating, candle making, painting, ceramics, cooking, or whatever she loves most. If you don’t have workshops in your local area, you can find kits at craft stores or online, then DIY a craft party at home.

7. Gift her the perfect day

Remember those coupons you used to make your parents as a kid? They were thoughtful but low-budget gifts that you often made last minute, and this is one of those Mother’s Day party ideas that is the same sort of concept. However, this grown-up version requires a little more planning and better presentation.

The basic idea is to create an itinerary (which you can type out on pretty paper) for your Mom’s idea of a perfect day. Think of her favorite activities. What would she do all day if she didn’t have to work or run errands? Create a day where she has no responsibilities other than to have fun. Gather her favorite foods and drinks — or make the necessary restaurant reservations — book classes or experiences she loves, and create a personalized, ideal day from sunrise to sunset just for her.

8. Treat her to a spa day, just the two of you

If your Mom loves to be pampered, treat her to a manicure and or pedicure. You can book an appointment at a salon, rent your own equipment, or hire an in-home spa company that will come to you. If you want to take her to a special spa environment, be sure to check out what Peerspace has on offer near you.

For example, our friends in the Denver, CO area can book this intimate beauty escape and party studio in Baker. It’s a gorgeous venue with a helpful host that can provide you and Mom classic spa services like hair, makeup, and nail care, as well as more party-oriented options, like bartending and a DJ!

9. Hand out thoughtful cards

Sometimes card shopping can be a challenge. When you can’t find a drugstore card that fits your mom’s personality, consider searching online to find a card that is as lovely as she is. Lovepop makes beautiful pop-up cards and paper bouquets for every occasion, hobby, and interest. If she’s got a green thumb, then consider getting a card made on seed paper. It’s the card that keeps on giving, as it can be torn up and planted later.

10. Curate the perfect Mom-approved playlist 

Music can speak for you when no words can express your gratitude to your mom. Take a look at her Spotify to find her favorite songs, artists, and genres, then craft a playlist full of the hits she loved when growing up, along with what she listens to now.

Alternatively, you can find a Peerspace venue with a piano or other musical instruments if you play and serenade her with your siblings! For instance, this Fishtown penthouse loft in Philadelphia provides you with 1,400 square feet of open space, cute decor, and yes, a baby grand vintage Baldwin piano!

11. Combine two activities in one venue: eating cake and singing karaoke!

Does Mom love sweets? Does Mom love singing (or at least love to watch you sing)? Then consider treating her to a Mother’s Day party at Cakes & Karaoke in Atlanta, GA, which celebrates two of life’s greatest joys. The fact that this venue is both intimate and stylish will also surely impress Mom.
