Tips for an Enjoyable Mother’s Day Celebration with your In-Laws
1. Bake a Cake
A delicious home-made cake is just the thing to get everyone in a happy mood. If you’re really looking to impress the in-laws, you can ask your husband’s mom for a cake recipe. This is a great way to make her feel included in the celebration. You get to show off your baking skills, your mom-in-law will like having her recipe appreciated, and everyone gets to enjoy eating something delicious. Get the kids involved with the garnishing and plating of the cake to make it an even more memorable affair.
2. Invite Them over for Dinner
Dinner is a good way to celebrate and get to know one another. This Mother’s Day, consider calling your husband’s parents over for a special meal. You could make a dish that you’re excellent at or try out a new recipe. One way to get them to enjoy dinner even more is by asking them what their favourite dish is and making it. Do find out if they have any food allergies and dietary restrictions. It could save you from a potentially awkward situation.
3. Get Them Gifts
Well-chosen gifts for your dad and mom-in-law will go down nicely. Ask your husband to fish around for info a couple of weeks before Mother’s Day. The two of you could chip in and help the in-laws cross at least one or two items off their list of must-haves. If no information is forthcoming, get them gifts in line with their hobbies and interests. If your dad-in-law loves to paint, a canvas or a set of good quality paints would be ideal. If your mom-in-law likes to garden, a couple of pretty planters or a set of gardening tools are some nice ideas. You can also add a Mother’s Day card to give to your mom-in-law.
Make this Mother’s Day with your in-laws fun with these ideas. They require only a little effort but can bring oodles of joy to both sides of the family.
