One thing we did at our wedding a few years ago, which turned out to be very popular and memorable, was that instead of clinking glasses to get us to kiss, people had to come to the microphone and tell stories. Almost everyone in the room eventually came and told a story about either hubby or myself or both of us. It was wonderful...lots of good memories, laughter and comraderie. Maybe your Mom would enjoy hearing everyone tell (good!) stories about her and her life. Tell her your favourite memories of growing up, your favourite trips with her, your favourite foods that she cooked.

I remember too how much my Mom and Dad enjoyed it when we made up a special book for their 50th anniversary...each of the children and grandchildren wrote about our favourite memories with Mom and Dad.
