What To Write In Your Mother’s Day Card
We’ve all been there. You carefully choose an amazing flower gift. To make it perfect, you look for a beautiful card. Maybe you've even made one. You’ve found the perfect one for someone special, avoiding anything too cliched or samey. Only, when you sit down to write a message, your mind goes as blank as the inside page.
Or even worse, there’s a pre-written message inside, saying something that just doesn’t sound like you. It’s the stuff of gifting nightmares.
Mother’s Day Messages
Our mums are unique, and we all want to write a card that’s unique to match. This Mother's Day, it's about avoiding the over-used and the under-considered messages (and giving pre-printed greetings a hard pass). As something of experts in all things Mother’s Day (and Father’s Day, and all other days that require a card) we thought we’d give you some inspiration of what to write in a Mother’s Day card...
What is a traditional Mother’s Day message?
Some things we write in cards stand the test of time, just like the love we feel for our mums.
I’m so lucky to call you my mum!
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, and everything you do.
I don’t know where I’d be without you. You’re my inspiration.
Sending you all my love this Mother’s Day.
Thank you for always being there – whenever, wherever.
You’re the best mum in the world – I lucked out!
Thinking of you today – and every day!
What if you celebrate other people on Mother’s Day?
This Mother's Day you may want to send a gift (and card) to someone who may not be your mum, but is very close to your heart. Fear not, we've got some ideas of loving messages for them, too.
I’m so lucky to have you in my life.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, and everything you do.
You’re the best of the best – I really lucked out!
I don’t know where I’d be without you. You’re my inspiration.
Thank you for always being there – whenever, wherever.
Sending you all my love this weekend. It’s the least you deserve!
Thinking of you today – and every day!
Funny things you can write in a Mother’s Day card
So many of us get our sense of humour from our mums – so why not give a little back?
You’re the best mum I’ve got.
Best mum, from a list of one.
You’re not too bad, I guess.
I love you almost as much as I love your roast potatoes.
I thought you were worth more than garage flowers.
So there you have it – a few ideas to get your creative juices flowering, and to help you come up with some personalised mothers day messages of your own.
Of course, these messages are great in any card – but they’re particularly spectacular in the gift note included in a Freddie’s Flowers delivery.
