It’s Mother’s Day weekend! And this year is looking a heck of a lot better than last! Is it safe to invite mom to brunch? What does the CDC recommend for Mother’s Day 2021?
Another holiday is here! Do you remember last year’s Mother’s Day? It was a disaster. Don’t get me wrong, we all showed our mother’s and mother-figures love and made sure they felt loved and appreciated, but most of us didn’t get to see our mom at all.

This year, however, is very different. Things are finally looking up. However, we haven’t exactly gone back to normal. But what does this mean for Mother’s Day 2021?
Last year, taking mom out to eat wasn’t even a possibility! We’d be putting her too much at risk, and it’s not something we were willing to risk. What about this year?
Mother’s Day 2021: Can we take mom out to eat?
The CDC recommends that even those who are fully vaccinated need to be careful. However, there are some perks to being fully vaccinated. As we previously covered, if you are fully vaccinated, you can safely enjoy small gatherings.
That said, why not have mom over for brunch or dinner? It is still recommended you avoid large gatherings, though, so don’t get too crazy.
What does this mean when it comes to going out to eat? We still recommend eating out on the patio over eating indoors. So if you can find a restaurant that offers outdoor dining, that’s your safe bet!
Another option, depending on where you live, some restaurants are still not open 100% so you may be able to safely dine indoors at restaurants open at 50% capacity.
At the end of the day, It’s up to how you and mom feel. How will you be celebrating?
