It’s all well and good us telling you which Mother’s Day cards to buy, but we know that the trickiest part is what you actually say inside. 

Do you go for a joke? Something heartfelt? A bit of both? Do you just say ‘thank you thank you thank you’ over and over again because let’s face it, you have a lot to atone for? 

Don’t be scared, we’re here to lift your writers’ block with a selection of Mother’s Day cards we love, plus what we’d write inside if we were giving them to our mum.

All My Wobbles Card

Suggestion: When life was helly, and I felt like jelly, you did a great jobbles, of getting me through the wobbles. 

Basically, we’re repeating the front of the card on the inside for consistency with a nice little poem. 

Are there a couple of words in there that aren’t actually words? Yes. But who cares, that annoying Word paperclip can’t pull you up IRL. 

Mum You’re The GOAT card

Suggestion: Mum, I bought this card to see if you’d get offended for calling you a farm animal, and I bet it’s worked. Love, [NAME]

P.S. It means Greatest Of All Time. So it’s a nice thing.

Can she keep up with all this slang? No. 

Is it funny seeing her reaction when you bring it into her life? Yes.

Thanks For Putting Up With Us Card

Suggestion: Happy Mother’s Day! Remember that time we made a potion in the sink using about £150-worth of your expensive bath stuff?

Obviously you might want to input your own memory here, but most of us have definitely made a potion in the bathroom sink when mum wasn’t looking. 

Think of one of the many, many shitty things you did as a kid and simultaneously thank mum for putting up with it. Perfect.

Just a Card-Again Card 

Suggestion: I would’ve got you a new jumper if I could, but you did say ‘don’t get me anything’. 

This is basically an UNO reverse card. If your mum has ever said ‘don’t get me anything’, that’s your chance. 

If you get her a card, you’re technically doing better than what she expected. So…

Granddog Card

Suggestion: Think about it: No dirty nappies, no crying in the middle of the night AND you get to take him for a walk!

Let’s face it, dogs are better than kids. You’re the only baby in the family, you don’t need another one taking all of your mum’s attention. 

Instead, you need to put all of that attention into a puppy. It’s only natural. 

No Refunds Card

Suggestion: If you read the T&Cs properly when you got with dad, this would never have happened. Happy Mother’s Day!

Nobody ever reads the T&Cs.

Olive you Card

Suggestion: Shall we have picky-bits for tea?

Honestly, any opportunity to get picky-bits for tea and we’re taking it.
