Common questions

When is the best time to send a birthday card to my mom?

Aim to send it so it arrives on or before her birthday. If mailing, send it 3-5 business days early. An e-card can be sent the morning of her special day.

Should I include a gift with the birthday card?

While not necessary, a small, thoughtful gift or a heartfelt note about a future experience together (like lunch) can make the card even more special.

What if I'm not good with words? How do I personalize a card?

Start with one of these short wishes and add a specific memory, like 'Remember when we...' or 'I'll always be grateful for...'. Your personal touch matters most.
