Moms wear many hats: Teacher, Chef, Nurse, Taxi, Confidante, Coach, Volunteer, and Cheerleader. If ever there was a time to celebrate all that Moms do, it’s Mother’s Day! If you’re planning a party or gathering to celebrate your mother, Party Host Helpers can help! Our New York City and Hudson Valley Regional Director, Rebecca, shared a few of her favorite venues, gifts, and tips to help you shower all the mothers in your life with love this year.

What’s more elegant than The Palm Court in The Plaza Hotel? While maintaining the remarkable architecture of the original design, The Palm Court pays homage to the beautiful setting of nearby Central Park and combines that with the posh elegance you’d expect to experience in New York City.
Lady Mendls Tea Salon is located inside The Inn at Irving Plaza. “The Victorian style architecture and furnishings recreate a time of sublime elegance.” At Lady Mendls, you can treat your Mom to a five course tea consisting of classic finger sandwiches, fresh baked pastries, and a delicious variety of the finest teas. Sounds delicious!

Cocktails
Serve up a tray of refreshingly gorgeous, Sparkling Pink Lemonade! We love this recipe – super delicious!
Mom may also want to relax with a cocktail, so set up a MOM-osa Bar! Offer juices such as Orange, Cranberry or Strawberry Kiwi and pair with your favorite Champagne or Prosecco. For our Moms-to-be, substitute the alcohol for sparkling juice or ginger ale! Don’t forget to garnish with your favorite berries.
Food
When it comes to the food selections, keep them simple and light. Moms don’t want to feel guilty about indulging on their special day.
Gather some freshly baked whole grain bagels, and top with cream cheese, sliced smoked salmon, and garnish with a sprig of your favorite fresh herbs.
Don’t forget to pick up some handcrafted, playful donuts at Doughnut Plant to display on a pedestal on your dining table.
Show a little extra love with some heart shaped watermelon and strawberry fruit skewers. Here is a great recipe!
Play up the color pink and adorn your brunch table with some mason jars overflowing with fresh and fragrant Pink Hydrangeas. Tie pink and white balloon clusters to a chair and give Mom a throne for the day!
Gift
When showering Mom with gifts, think practical! A Party Host Helper gift certificate is the perfect idea for the Moms who love to entertain. Our gift certificates are good for one Party Host Helper for 4 hours – a $180 value!
There’s no shortage of places to pamper Mom in NYC; treat her to a day of pampering at The Great Jones Spa with a Hydrofacial and then a Great Jones Spa Signature Massage.
Support the “Mom Culture” by shopping for the lady in your life! Whether she’s Raising Ladies or Gentlemen, we can all agree that “Raising Tiny Humans is exhausting!”
