Mother’s Day is coming up quick, but there’s still time to do something special for Mom – especially with the help of free printables! Speaking of which… there are tons of cute, free Mother’s Day Printables out there, so we rounded up some of our personal favorites all in one spot for you below, and also whipped up a few BRAND NEW pieces of our own!

{Free} “BREAKFAST FOR MOM” PRINTABLES

A special breakfast or brunch is always popular for Mother’s Day, and hopefully our simple little shoot is proof that breakfast doesn’t have to be fancy to be sweet! I’m sharing 3 different printables with you today: a 5×7 sign, a Mother’s Day “Room Service Door Tag” (a cute way to take Mom’s order!), and a “MOM” banner that’s perfectly sized to make her chair extra special. Download all of them for free below. Enjoy!

P.S. since there are probably more moms than dads reading this, please feel free to pass these along to any husband/father that might find them useful…. maybe they need to take YOUR breakfast order, for example. ;)

I love this (relaxing!) brunch idea by Rebekah Dempsey of A Blissful Nest! She styled a Pink Ruffle + Garden Inspired Mother’s Day Luncheon with a cute favor idea for a fun get together with fellow mom friends! So kick off your heels and enjoy this feminine and delightful afternoon! :)

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS, to look out for:

– Gold Chiavari Chairs with Giant Tissue Paper Flowers
– DIY Monogram stenciled napkin favors
– Fruit Cups, Cinnamon Rolls and Fresh Orange Juice
– Pink Ruffle Table cloth + polka dot painted kraft paper runner

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO! This post originally went live a couple weeks ago, but I couldn’t resist bumping it up to the top for today. Hope you’re enjoying margaritas with friends & family somewhere today…. cheers! :)

*****

(original post) I have something fun to share with you today that’s definitely a departure from the norm… and I really hope it leaves you feeling INSPIRED to call up some friends and host a similar get together of your own. Inspiring celebration is definitely the most important takeaway from this experience – and the goal in sharing it – so I wanted to make sure to mention that tidbit up front. :)

SO… with that in mind, I’m excited to share a video that I participated in recently, followed by some behind the scenes on the video shoot itself, and helpful takeaways for planning your own Cinco de Mayo party (or anytime fiesta)! As a huge fan of Mexican food AND margaritas myself, I’m pretty much game for this kind of theme year ’round! How about you?

BESOS AND MARGARITAS – Video Shoot

So to give you some background, a couple weeks ago I headed up to LA for a video shoot with some of my fellow Glam Media bloggers. I knew it sounded like it would be a cool experience based on the creative brief, but I still wasn’t 100% sure what to expect.

What it ended up being – was an insanely fun night of ‘”Besos and Margaritas“, with Sauza Tequila and a fabulous group of women bloggers you may already be familiar with: Jenny from Good, Bad, & Fab, Jillian of Catch My Party, Marisa of Margaritas in the Rain, Christi of Love from the Oven, and Candice from Fashionably Organized!

Everyone was so warm and welcoming, which instantly made for a great start to the shoot. Some of us were meeting in person for the first time, but by the end of the night (which wrapped close to midnight), everyone felt like old friends. It’s funny how a few hours of bonding over similar work/life experiences – and a few refills of margaritas – can do that!

Are you ready to fiesta! Or at least have a BeerRita or two ;) Cinco de Mayo is coming up this weekend and Victoria Canada Weddings and Events has some festive and bright last minute Cinco de Mayo Inspiration! Not to mention THREE recipes that will have you craving more delicious Mexican cuisine and more reasons for crafty + colorful decorations!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Mexican Crepe Paper Flowers in ribbon wrapped cans
– Horchata (served in mason jars!) and BeerRita Recipes + Salpicon Recipe
– Avocado Bar + Pan Dulce with Papel Picado Banner inspired food labels
