For church, we will (of course) make a big to-do over all the Mothers present, and will likely turn the message in that direction. We will also take really good digital photos of each mother, with her kids/family, and will post them for download on our website. Then we will take the digital file to Costco and print out 8 x 10's (very cheap) which we will distribute the following Sunday at church. Nice keepsake + encourages return attendance.
Personally, we are invited to a cookout at a member's home instead of the very crowded restaurants.

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)
