Listen up dads: It’s up to you to make the first Mother’s Day for your wife extra special!

Tips To Make First Mother’s Day A Success

Start by making sure her day is relaxing and enjoyable, free of household chores, errands or responsibilities. Mom shouldn’t have to cook dinner or clean the house on her special day. Let her sleep in by getting up in the morning with the baby. Treat her to breakfast in bed or order food from her favorite restaurant for lunch.

Being a new mom can take a physical and emotional toll, so create ways for her to unwind and de-stress throughout the day. You can treat her to a warm bubble bath, complete with calming music and scented candles, followed by a relaxing massage. Or send her off to the spa for a day of much needed pampering where she can rejuvenate and refresh.

Just go with your gut and plan on something you know she will like. If she enjoys the outdoors, plan a trip to the local park or forest preserve. If she loves cultural outings, surprise her with a trip to the museum, opera or symphony. If she loves shopping, send her on a shopping spree to her favorite store.

Make The Most of Mother’s Day At Home

2020 Update: Since many of us might be stuck indoors this Mother’s Day, consider recreating her favorite place or activity in your own home.

If you were planning on treating her to a cultural outing, consider recreating it at home with a virtual trip to the Musee d’Orsay and the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Art Institute in Chicago – all for free. Search for other famous museums around the world to see if they offer a free virtual tour. Grab a glass of wine and indulge in the online experience.

If you wanted to take her out shopping, let her try a service like Stich Fix, Amazon Prime Wardrobe or Nordstrom’s Trunk Club to try on some new outfits. or if she’s into makeup, consider a beauty subscription like Birchbox, Ipsy or Target Beauty Box.
