With Mother's Day right around the corner (May 12, to be exact), the pressure is on to throw her a celebration as special as all of the ones she's organized for you throughout the years! To start, you could shower her with Mother's Day gifts and a heartfelt DIY Mother's Day card. You could even test your luck in the kitchen by making her some delicious Mother's Day desserts or a Mother's Day cake! While these individual acts of kindness will go far, another way you can take her special day to the next level is by hosting a Mother's Day brunch or party in her honor. Add some refreshing Mother's Day cocktails and marvelous Mother's Day decorations to the mix, and she'll definitely feel like the MVM (Most Valuable Mom)!

That's where we come in! We've rounded up a variety of décor ideas to get your event underway. There are DIY projects like wreaths, banners, and balloon garlands as well as pre-made items you can purchase like vases, cake toppers, and coasters. The best part? Many of these picks also double as affordable Mother's Day gifts. Grab a bouquet of Mother's Day flowers to use as a centerpiece and a sweet surprise or adorn the area with a few beautiful candles that she'll use way beyond the holiday. You can even set up a tablescape with a new dinnerware set that she'll add to her cabinets once the get-together is over. And to get the kiddos involved, we've also included a few ideas that count as easy Mother's Day crafts like a personalized tray to serve her breakfast-in-bed.

When all is said and done (and decorated), we think it might end up being the best Mother's Day yet!
