We all know that there's nothing quite like the unconditional love of a mother. That's why it's important to show them some appreciation on this special day - as well as every other day, of course! So why not write a card, buy her Mother’s Day flowers and take her out for lunch? She deserves it!
If you're looking for ideas about how to celebrate Mother’s Day with your family or friends, you've come to the right place. In this blog, we’ll take a deeper dive into Mother’s Day, looking at inventions and celebrations through history; why we celebrate Mother's Day and what you should write in your Mother’s Day card. Let Love Kate’s help you prepare some ideas for Mother’s Day cards and gifts!
When is Mother's Day?
Mother’s Day is on Fourth Sunday in March and is a day of celebration for all the wonderful mothers (and mother figures!) in our lives. We are a huge fan of Mother’s Day and celebrating the unique bonds between mothers and their children, as well as all of people who nurture and protect us, regardless of their relation to us.
Who invented Mother’s Day?
Mother’s Day officially arose in the 1900s after Anna Jarvis held a memorial service at her late mother’s church in West Virginia. Although this holiday originated in the United States, it gradually became a national holiday, where it continued into modern times. Mother’s Day isn’t just for mothers We know that Mother’s Day – and lots of other days of celebration – can be difficult for some people, which is why we think it’s important to reinvent traditions and celebrate Mother’s Day in a way which fits your personal circumstances.
Mother’s Day is not just for mothers, but all the women who play important roles in our lives. Perhaps you are looking for a Mother’s Day card for grandma or a Mother’s Day gift for your mother-in-law? Regardless of the relation to you, cards and gifts, flowers or other tokens of appreciation are to be enjoyed by all.
You can also celebrate this special day with your friends and family members who are not your mother. It doesn't matter if they're older than you—their help has been invaluable over time! If you're feeling especially grateful towards a specific person who isn't related by blood (such as your best friend), send her flowers and let her know how much she means to you!
If you're looking for some ideas on how to celebrate Mother's Day, here are a few:
Write a card: A handwritten note is always appreciated, and it's something that can be cherished forever. The first step to writing the perfect card, is choosing the perfect Mother’s Day card design. Find a unique card suited to your special person’s hobbies, such as someone who loves baking, Prosecco or gardening. Alternatively, why not check out our range of fantastic Pop-up Mother’s Day Cards?

What do I write?
The main thing to remember when looking for Mother’s Day quotes or Mother’s Day messages, is that there are no rules. You can share how much she means to you, tell her how proud you are of her and all that she has accomplished throughout her life, or maybe even ask for advice! At Love Kate’s we believe that Mother’s Day is less about sticking to conventions and more about doing something that you know will make your loved one laugh, smile and feel valued.
