How to Write a Heartfelt Mother’s Day Message
Need help writing a message in your Mother’s Day card? Here is some practical advice if you’re stuck for words this Mother’s Day. There is no use of AI in this blog, and I don’t recommend using AI to write your Mother’s Day card message.
Here are five things I learned to write in my messages in Mother’s Day cards, which make my cards heartfelt ones. I want to avoid writing “Happy Mother’s Day, have a wonderful day” ever again and reflect my love and appreciation for two of the most important women in my life, my mum and mother-in-law.
If you have responsibility for writing the card for your partner’s mum too, like I do, it doubles the challenge of writing something personal and heartfelt.
You can use this guide for your mum, mother-in-law, foster mum, or any other mother-like figure in your life.
1. Plan Ahead
Buy your cards in advance (or make them if you’re feeling creative), but either way do this about a month in advance. It’s a great activity for a wintery day and you will have plenty of time to write a lovely, personal message in your Mother’s Day card.
2. Be Thankful
To write a truly personalised message in your Mother’s Day card you could begin with a sentence about how thankful you are for something your mum has taught you, or advice she gave, or be specific about something she did for you that you are grateful for.
Mums often make sacrifices so their children can thrive. Do you know what sacrifices she made for your benefit? Express your thankfulness for her sacrifices.
Your thankful Mother’s Day card message could start like this:
- I’m thankful for……
- I’m grateful for…….
- Thanks for teaching me…
- Thank you for ……….
- I’m overwhelmed by your……
- I appreciate ………..
This will make your message much more personal, and touch her soul.
3. Share your Best Memory or Experience
To write a heartfelt message for Mother’s Day, remind her of a special memory you have of spending time with her. It could be from your childhood or a more recent event. It doesn’t even have to be something big, maybe just how much you love your shopping outings, or walking the dog together. The important thing here is to show her that she has a special place in your life and that you remember the great times you have shared with her, and why these times are so important to you, as her child.
4. Highlight her Best Quality
Are you proud of your mum’s achievements? Does she have abilities or skills you admire? Tell her because it will show her that you understand her as more than a mum, but as a person too.
You could write a Mother’s Day message that includes one of these examples:
- I’m proud of the way you….
- I love your sense of…………
- I wish I had your …………….
- I admire your …………………
- You are the best at………..
- No one does …. like you
- You inspire me to be……
This will show her that you can see and appreciate her special, unique qualities.
5. Express your Love for Her
If you want to avoid saying the same old thing like; “lots of love from” or “love and hugs from”, “love you to the moon & back” etc, you can try making this into a sentence and show her what she means to you.
It could sound something like this:
- I love you because
- You mean….
- I would be…. without you
- I feel ……… for/by you
You can never tell your mum too much, that you love her. It will bring her so much happiness to read these words and the best thing is that she can keep this Mother’s Day card forever and read it whenever she wants or needs to feel loved.
