Our mums mean the world to us. They’re our caregivers, our voices of reason and oftentimes, our best friends too. Mothers are superheroes in their own special way.
But what about the card?
It can sometimes be difficult to find the right words to let her know just how much she means to you. How do you summarise every wonderful thing that she has done for you in a few sentences? "Happy birthday" just isn’t enough.
If you, like so many of us out there, struggle to find the perfect words for your lovely mum, have a look at some of our ideas below.

How To Wish Mum a Happy Birthday
A few extra touches here and there will really make your mum feel special. Follow these steps to personalise the card – it will make all the difference!
• If you have a special name that you call your mum, like "mumsy", "momaloo" or even "mama duck", use it to address the card.
• Think about what makes your mum unique. Is she very loving? Does she love being glamourous? Would you describe her as creative or thoughtful? Think about whatever it is that makes her exceptional and select a few adjectives to incorporate into your overall message.
• Try and write a birthday wish from the heart. Think about all the sweet, perfect things you wish for her for this new year in her life. Don’t rush it – sometimes something as precious as this takes time.
There’s no one in the world who could ever measure up to your mum, which is perhaps why it can be so difficult to put your birthday wishes for her into words.
Below are a few suggestions for you to use as a guideline. Incorporate any special memories or inside jokes you may have into them to help make her feel extra important on her special day.
