This Mother’s Day, spoil the women in your life
by throwing this afternoon Boho themed picnic.
We loved the idea of gathering our mothers, our daughters and our friends to celebrate the special role of motherhood. We wanted to celebrate all of the motivational women who have shaped our lives.
Food is always the most important part of and event for us. We love food. We wanted to keep the food light and easy to eat. Picnics are easy and laid back, so the food needs to be as well.
When planning your menu keep in mind the theme of your gathering, the setting and your guests. A Boho Picnic is ideal for finger foods and fresh appetizers.
Take home gifts:
We wanted to have a little gift for our guests to take home. We purchased mason jars and covered them with burlap and tied it off with a lace ribbon. We planted succulents in each jar. We added these burlap flags and wrote “when women support each other, incredible things happen.”
Arts & Crafts:
We set up a table with a variety of washi tapes and scrapbook paper to decorate some journals. We had this quote printed off to use as the cover - “I’ll always rememeber the things you have taught me and how much you love me.” We wanted to create a mother/daughter journal. My daughter use these to ask each other random questions and to connect on a fun and creative way.
Make & Takes:
We had some headbands and silk florals laid out to create these lovely floral crowns. The younger girls had so much fun creating theirs and didn’t want to take them off.
