by: This Sunday is Mother's Day~ a day set apart to eat well and honor our Moms.
I fancy an intimate gathering at home... pretty flowers, a gorgeous table setting and incredibly scrumptious food! {why go out... seriously, who can eat $25 worth of brunch food anyways... well, my husband, my dad, all the men in my life... but this is about Mom, right?}
Does your soon-to-be Mother in law live in your area? Consider inviting your mom and your soon-to-be Mom, over for a sweet Mother's Day gathering. If they don't already know each other, this might be the perfect opportunity for them to get to know each other before the wedding. And, there will be plenty of wedding talk for conversation. These wisdom-filled women can be a tremendous help to you during wedding planning.
Think of all the things that need to be coordinated: guest list information, attire, planning help, decorating... just to name a few. To have both women on the same wedding planning page, will be an incredible blessing and no doubt~ they will love being included!
If Mother's Day doesn't work out... plan for other days~ lunch, shopping, coffee... etc. And, if your soon-to-be Mom in laws doesn't live in your area, keep her involved through web cam, skype, emails and lots of phone time.
