Hosting 101
With these tips, your Mother’s Day brunch can go smoothly!
- Decide how many you can comfortably seat, then invite the coordinating amount.
- If the weather permits, hosting an outdoor brunch is not only lovely, but you can usually set up more seating.
- Decide if you want to have a more formal sit-down brunch or take a family-style buffet approach.
- Often, Mother’s Day brunch is for moms only, but if children are attending, have an activity center to help keep them occupied.
planning the menu
Mother’s Day brunch is particularly fun to make a menu for. Mix and match your favorite “fancy” breakfast foods and lunch foods.
- Plan the menu a couple of weeks beforehand. This allows you to watch for sales at the grocery store.
- Try new recipes. Try out new recipes to work out any tweaks.
- Coordinate. If a guest is offering to bring a dish be sure it coordinates with the other menu items.
- Breakfast vs lunch. Stick to more breakfast-type foods, plan more lunch-y foods, or mix them.
- Make ahead. Include dishes that can be made ahead of time.
- Heated items. Identify what needs to be heated/cooked the morning of and be sure there is enough time and space to do so.
- Storebought dishes. There’s no shame in purchasing something from your favorite bakery or pre-made from the local grocers.
- Balance. Have a balance of flavor – sweet and savory, hot and cold, and different colors and textures.
- Drinks. Plan drinks like favorite punches, virgin cocktails, water with lemon juice, Hot Chocolate, or simple orange juice.
