In less than three weeks, we all get to honor the one woman we literally can't live without! In the US, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May, a date made official in 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day. Though on different dates, Mother's Day is celebrated around the world, and as you would suspect, Mother's Day is not a new idea. People in many ancient cultures celebrated holidays honoring motherhood, personified as a goddess. And goddesses, they are!

If your Mom is as terrific as mine, she deserves a celebration--a dinner, a brunch, a party, something very special. Whatever festivity you choose can be kicked up a notch with a favor that lets everyone leave with a lasting memory of a lovely Mother's Day.

Though the name may be a bit misleading, MyWeddingFavors.com has some favors that are perfect for mom's party. Here are three favors I'm considering for my Mom's brunch:

My mom's name is Rose, so I have a pretty easy time picking out meaningful gifts and favors for her. These "Rose Vine" Laser-Cut Favor Boxes look beautiful on the table, hold delicous treats and go with any color scheme or decor.

Sticking with the rose theme (no pun intended,) I found this striking, handcrafed wooden rose that would be great in a bud vase. It's hand-carved from lightweight wood, and there's a sprig of baby's breath to add to the effect.

And how about this elegant, scented Rose Ball candle? The candle comes in deep red, pink or pearl white, so you can easily match any decor. And by the way, your mom's name doesn't have to be Rose for these favors to adorn your Mother's Day party tables.

Let Mom know you love her, and that you'll always go that extra mile for her--just like she did for you!
