Celebrating Mother's Day with Out of Town Mothers

Online, May 7, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Mother's Day is one of the most important celebrations of the year. Our mothers have been there for us throughout our lives. Through the trials and tribulations of school, to our evolution into adulthood, our mothers have been there to pick us up and keep us moving forward. Mother's Day celebrates all that our mothers have done and sacrificed for us. It is a day dedicated to giving back to our mothers and showing our appreciation for all they have gone through.

It can be difficult to celebrate this wonderful day when our mother lives out of town. Making this day special when we cannot be with her is not always an easy task. Finding the right gift can be a challenge, especially during these economic times. Jewelry can be expensive, and flowers most often don't show up until the later part of the day.

The secret to ensuring a special Mother's Day is finding the right catering company. A select few catering companies, usually corporate catering companies, are able to deliver with a low minimum order - perhaps a lunch or two - and are invaluable on Mother's Day and many other events. If you are having trouble finding one that delivers on a Sunday, send mom a special lunch to her work or home on Friday. She will be surprised and feeling special as she indulges in her gourmet lunch. If you worry about her feeling alone send two lunches - a perfect excuse for her to invite a friend along to lunch. Or send an extra tray of goodies to share with the whole office. Worried about too much sugar? Send a nice appetizer for her to share with her co-workers or neighbors. A nice breakfast platter is another way to create a special day for mom.

Another option that a good caterer will offer is a gift basket. These can usually be delivered locally or shipped to addresses out of their delivery area. Gift baskets often range from delicious sweets to savory snacks, with healthy options on both ends of the spectrum with prices starting around $20.

One of the most popular catering companies on the west coast is Ingallina's Box Lunch. Their low minimum order - just two box lunches or one party platter - makes it possible to find just the right amount to send, and their large free delivery areas in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles make it easy to find an option that fits your budget. Pair this with great products and great customer service and it's hard to go wrong!

Finding the right catering company can make celebrating Mother's Day an easy, enjoyable task. With many options to choose from - box lunches, party platters, and gift baskets the opportunities for creating a memorable Mother's Day celebration are endless.
