Although celebrations honoring Mothers are recorded in ancient Greece they primarily honored Rhea, the mother of the Gods. England lays claim to specifically honoring mere mortal mothers during the 1600's.
Mother's Day in America actually started with Julia Ward Howe, the author of the lyrics to the Battle Hymn of the Republic. She sponsored Mother's Day meetings in Boston until Ana Jarvis in Philadelphia began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day.
President Woodrow Wilson finally made it official in 1914 with a proclamation to hold a national Mother's Day every year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
101MothersDayTips.com makes the assumption that a definite trend has taken hold by now! So, while breakfast in bed for a sleepy mom is a great tradition to start the day--may we suggest selecting a Caterer to fix Mom a fantastic meal at home? This loving gesture would be a suitably extravagant variation on taking Mother to her favorite restaurant!
Our florists, jewelers, bakeries, and gift basket vendors surely can expand on the day's theme--to tell Mother how much you love her and appreciate all she's done for you. How about a limousine ride to a special club, restaurant, or unique location that caters to Mother's Day celebrants?
Look at our Tips page before you look at our vendors. Have some of our suggestions in mind before you search for our special party people who will help you express your love this Mother's Day!
