A Mother’s Day card
that actually sounds like you

Upload a photo of your mum, write a few honest words, send her a card that isn’t the same one Boots printed ten thousand of. Share it on WhatsApp on the morning, or pop a printed copy in the post.

Preview free. Pay only when you’re happy with it. UK printing from £4.99.

Two kinds of Mother’s Day

For the mum on the phone, and the mum you’re missing

Mother’s Day hits differently depending on who’s still here. Pick the one that fits. Both routes take about two minutes.

Mum in her garden

Mum standing in her garden on a soft spring morning, holding a mug of tea, tulips around her, the kitchen window behind her catching the light.

The reading chair by the window

Mum curled up in her favourite armchair by the window, book open on her lap, reading glasses halfway down her nose, afternoon sun on the carpet.

Mum and the grandkids

Mum on the sofa with the grandkids piled around her, laughing mid-story, biscuits on the coffee table, the telly humming quietly in the background.

An old photo, reimagined

A faded 1970s photo of mum as a young woman, redrawn in warm film tones, the same smile, the same eyes, brought back bright for her card this year.

Questions people actually ask

Mother’s Day, sorted

When is Mother's Day in the UK this year?

Mother's Day in the UK falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, so the date moves each year. The next one is Sunday 14 March 2027. It's not the same date as American Mother's Day in May, which catches a lot of people out.

Can I send a Mother's Day card from abroad?

Yes, and this is honestly what we're best at. Upload a photo, write your message, send her the link on WhatsApp on Sunday morning. She opens it wherever she is. No posting from Sydney, Toronto or Dubai required.

Is it alright to send a Mother's Day card to a step-mum?

Absolutely. Pick the Mother's Day occasion and personalise the wording to say step-mum, bonus mum, or whatever suits. The card will be hers, not a generic 'to mum' copy-paste.

What about a card for a mum who's no longer here?

A lot of our customers send a thinking-of-you card to siblings, dads or grandparents on Mother's Day. You can also build a quiet remembrance card using an old photo of your mum, and keep it as a private keepsake.

Can I send the card on WhatsApp on the day itself?

Yes. Every card comes with a shareable link that works on WhatsApp, iMessage and email. Build it the night before, or at 8am on Mother's Day with your first coffee. It opens on any phone, no app, no sign-up for her.

If I want a printed card posted, when's the cutoff?

For a UK printed card to land before Mother's Day, order at least 5 working days ahead. The digital version is ready in minutes, so most people send the shareable link on the day and pop the printed copy in the post a week earlier.
