You can always run down to the drugstore and buy a $3 Mother’s Day card. Few of us are poets and the cards often say in words what we can only feel in our hearts about the special moms in our lives. On the other hand, it’s sometimes hard for moms to feel those sentiments written in someone else’s hand. For this reason, you may want to create your own card. It doesn’t have to look like it came off a printing press. This is truly a case where your effort and imagination will make the strongest impression. Here are a few ideas to get started.

In the simplest version, stop at a stationery store and buy a nice off-white card and envelope. You can simply write “I love you Mom” and sign your name. If it’s for your partner, say something like, “I love you. Thank you for our beautiful children.”

If the above idea sounds too simple, write or copy of few verses of poetry. While poetry takes a bit more effort, it will evoke a smile for your hard effort. Simple poetry schemes like ABAB are easy to do and can finish in four lines. Consider:
Roses are red, Violets are blue,
You’re the best mom in the world,
What would I do without you?
Simple and sweet and from the heart.

Take that nice and simple off-white card and paste a family photo on the front and on the inside, write something simple like “I love you and our family.” I guarantee this card will go into a memory box.

Search “how to make a Mother’s Day card” on the internet for plenty of Martha Stewart style ideas for cards. I don’t recommend this, but you’ll find thousands of ideas.

Good luck!
