What To Write On A Mother's Day Card

What To Write On A Mother's Day Card

Do you always struggle to figure out what to write in a Mother's day card?

We’ve got you covered and have come up with some foolproof templates to make you look extra thoughtful and make your mum feel special this year. 

It’s easy; there are two options, one formal and one casual, that prompt each sentence to make a nice full thoughtful message just from you. AND we’ve included two examples to get you going. Of course, feel free to leave a line out if you want, or add another if you have a lot to say.

Now the hardest part is choosing a card from our awesome 2018 Mothers Day range because we are pretty sure it’s the best one yet. *thinking emoji* *thinking emoji*

Sentimental Template 

  1. Happy Mothers Day!
  2. A sentence about why you want to thank them
  3. A sentence about your relationship
  4. A memory
  5. What you hope for the future
  6. A way to say I love you 
  7. Signature

  1. Happy Mothers Day Mum! 
  2. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your always being such an amazing sounding board and bank of advice for me through a rough year.
  3. You really are one of my best friends and I think it’s really beautiful that as we grow, together, that we have become as much friends to one another as mother and daughter. 
  4. But I still remember how hard you always worked just to make sure we didn’t have a worry in the world while we were little and I realise now how hard that must have been. 
  5. I hope that I can be as much a blessing to you in any hard times to come, as you have been to me. 
  6. You mean more to us all than you know. 
  7. All my love, Rebecca.
