It’s almost Mother’s Day- a day where we show our gratitude for all the hard work our mother has put in over the years. This gratitude however, cannot be proven with love alone, oh no. It must be proven (and subsequently measured) in the very real form of the ideal gift and card. A gift and card so ideal, it negates 364 days of smug thanklessness.
Let’s face it, it’s a challenge. Finding the perfect gift and card that says just what you want it to say can be oh I don’t know, hard work… to say the least. We must venture out, in to the cold winds, suffer through inside out umbrellas and scour the shops, because she’s worth it (begrudgingly).
Now, we can’t help you out with the gift side of things but we can most certainly help with the card part, oh yes.

So for all those after school activities she took you to that you never had any intention of pursuing, take a look through our Mother’s Day Ecards at Katie’s Cards and find something that’s ideal for her.

If you’ve ever been tempted to question why we celebrate Mother’s Day, take a look at the video below. It’s been watched over 3 million times (and counting) on YouTube and shared excessively on sites like Facebook and Twitter. So there’s a chance you may have already seen it – but we just couldn’t resist.
Cheeky yet adorable – a dastardly combination, don’t you agree?
Take a look at our Mother’s Day ecards, perfect for reaching Mums near and far – to let them know you’re grateful for all those times they said ‘no’ to cupcakes for breakfast.
Mothering Sunday is celebrated on 30 March in the UK this year and on the 11 May in the US.

KC’s Top 5
We know it’s never fair to have favourites and, really, we love them all equally… but seeing as it is awards season, we thought it might be fun to share our top picks from some our most popular categories.
Don’t worry – we’ll try to keep the speeches short.
For your little monkeys on their 4th Birthday
This is one of our newest ecards added to the site. It’s just one of our new range of milestone age birthday cards for children which feature dinosaurs, lions, and fish. We really love these cheeky monkeys and something tells us that your cheeky monkeys will love them too.
For Valentine’s puns riper than the bluest stilton check out Mr Cheese
We know we’ve been banging on about this one loads but we’re really proud of the idea and the way that it looks. Valentine’s is over for another year, but we’ve got a feeling this one will ‘Brie’ around for a long time to ‘crumb’. Eugh. We’re sorry.
The Cakemunchers Birthday game – nearly as addictive as frosted icing.
The Cake Game isn’t just a really cool looking card but a really addictive game too. We’re ashamed to say that even out of office hours we’ve found ourselves loading up this one for ‘just a couple more gos’. And for little ones (yes, that’s who the game is really designed for) there’s a choice of pink or blue.
Find out what happens our turkeys on the run in this entertaining ecard
Is it too early to send your Christmas cards? Probably a smigden. But we wouldn’t blame you wanting to send this entertaining ecard with a slightly dark, but ultimately funny, ending.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Supermum, silly!
Christmas may be ages away, but don’t forget about Mum on Sunday 30th March (or Sunday 11th May if you’re in the U.S.) This ecard gives an exclusive glimpse at a day in the life of Superman – ahem – or should we say Mum (wink, wink.)
So there you have it. To the winners we say congratulations and to the runners up we say better luck next ye–
— Wait, please… don’t play the music yet!

This Sunday, Mother’s Day will not only be celebrated in the United States but also in many other countries around the world – from Brazil to the Bahamas, from Hong Kong to Switzerland, and from Tonga to Malaysia.
Gardener Ecard
The origins of Mother’s Day differ from country to country. In Bolivia, for example, the day commemorates a specific battle during the Bolivian War of Independence during which many female fighters were killed. In Israel, it honours Henrietta Szold who rescued Jewish children from the Nazis. In France, Mother’s Day celebrations stem from the early 1900s when the government was concerned with falling birth rates and so it praised the mothers of large families.
Around the world, mothers are treated to flowers, gifts and cards. If you want to make your mum feel extra special this Sunday, then send her one of our lovely Mother’s Day ecards and it will reach her instantly, wherever she may be in the world.

Mother’s Day is fast-approaching in the USA and, though in the United Kingdom (where we’re based) we celebrated Mother’s Day back in March, we still have a diverse collection of Mother’s Day ecards available for you to send on the Katie’s Cards website. Watch the artist’s brush paint a beautiful vase of flowers on our Painted Flowers Mother’s Day ecard or see Supermum soar around saving the day; whatever your mum’s tastes and interests are, we hope to have them covered.

Happy Mother’s Day! The first ecard I designed for the Katie’s Cards website was for my own mother so, hopefully, you’ve found a suitable ecard to send to yours. I hope you all have a lovely day with your families.

If you’ve forgotten to send a Mother’s Day card then don’t worry! If you send an ecard from the Katie’s Cards website, it arrives in the inbox of the recipient immediately. Alternatively, you can easily schedule the card to arrive in your Mum’s inbox first thing tomorrow morning. We have a lovely collection of Mother’s Day ecards here on the Katie’s Cards website. In fact, the first card that I made for the website was for my own Mother so I really hope that you find a card that suits the tastes and interests of yours.

I’m happy to announce that our water lily ecard, formerly available to send on Chinese New Year, is now available for you to send this Mother’s Day. We gained a lot of positive feedback about this card and so we’re happy to make it available for you to send on another occasion.
The ecard depicts a tranquil pond filled with water lilies where carp swim gracefully around and dragonflies dance on the water’s edge. The ripples in the water eventually reveal the Mother’s Day message…

The Mother’s Day ecard of the week is this lovely ‘Peacock’ card. It shows an elegant peacock strolling around the grounds of a garden before fanning out its feathers to display a Mother’s Day message…

This lovely ecard features a team of little birds who are gathering twigs and flowers to create a special Mother’s Day message for your ‘Mom’. We wanted to cater for those living on the other side of the Atlantic too so, even though Mother’s Day isn’t celebrated in America until May, we wanted to include this ecard in the selection.
The reason why Americans spell ‘mum’ with an ‘o’ instead of a ‘u’ seems to be up for debate … Does anyone know why this is the case?

I am delighted to announce that we have a new Mother’s Day ecard on the Katie’s Cards website, just in time for Mothering Sunday. This beautiful ‘Spring Buds’ ecard perfectly captures this time of year when the garden is blooming and flowers are springing up everywhere.

As flowers fill the screen, a Mother’s Day message appears. As with all our ecards, you can personalise them to include your own message. You can also pre-schedule them to be sent at a future date so you can rest assured that they will arrive on time. To view our full collection of Mother’s Day ecards, click here.

What you choose to do with your mum on Mother’s Day is obviously dependent on her tastes and interests. However, we thought it might be helpful to put together a list of things you could do to make sure that the day is a special one:
– Take your Mum breakfast in bed – simple, but oh so luxurious. Why not whip up a batch of these blueberry muffins.
– Though bunches of flowers are lovely, give her some seeds or bulbs of her favourite flowers to plant in the garden for a gift that will last a little longer.
– For a tipsy treat, book a trip for the two of you to go wine tasting. If you don’t live near a vineyard then your local wine bar will do.
– If you can’t be together on the day then give your mum a “voucher” promising a day out together, perhaps to the theatre or to a gallery.
Whatever you choose to do, remember that this day isn’t about spending a lot of money – it’s about saying thank you to your Mum for her love and support over the years.

Let your Mum know that she’s your heroine by sending her this ‘Supermum’ ecard on Mother’s Day. Watch ‘Supermum’ save the world as she rescues a cat from a falling building, kicks an asteroid away from earth and stops a volcano from erupting…all in a day’s work!
Supermum Ecard
Mums are there to swoop to the rescue at so many points throughout our lives and Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to say thank you.

It’s just over a week until Mother’s Day so, if you’re planning on celebrating with your Mum on the 10th, then it may be wise to confirm your lunch reservation or to plan the meal you’re going to cook for her. If you aren’t lucky enough to be spending Mother’s Day with your Mum, then why not send her an ecard to brighten up her morning?
‘Peacock Ecard’
We have a lovely selection of Mother’s Day ecards which cater for a range of different tastes. Whether your Mum is artistic, loves gardening or is just a bit of a ‘Supermum’, we hope you can find something suitable for her on the Katie’s Cards website. You can view the full collection of cards here and can pre-schedule a card now so you can be confident that it will arrive on time.

It seems hard to believe that it’s March already, it seems like only yesterday that we were clearing away those Christmas cobwebs. March is a busy, busy month this year since Easter falls so early. Mother’s Day is celebrated on the 10th in the U.K. and St. Patrick’s Day is on the 17th. The latter will be celebrated in Ireland and, no doubt, around the world: as the saying goes, everyone is a little bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Easter falls on March 31st (though it seems like there have been Easter eggs in the shops for months!).
If you fancy celebrating some more unconventional holidays, you may be interested to know that it’s National Noodle Month, National Peanut Month and National Cheerleading Safety Month. I’m afraid we can’t offer you any ecards for those occasions though…

I recently stumbled across this article about Mother’s Day in National Geographic magazine. It tells the story of Anna Jarvis who, in 1908, fought passionately for Mother’s Day to be observed. However, she resented the consequent commercialisation of the day and was adamant that it should be known as ‘Mother’s Day’ rather than ‘Mothers’ Day.’ For her, it was about celebrating your mother, not all mothers. It’s an interesting account of the history behind Mother’s Day and adds a poignant element to the “brunch, bouquets and bling” that now characterise the day for many people.
If you want to show your mother just how much you appreciate her, then you can send her one of our beautiful Mother’s Day ecards. In the U.K, Mother’s Day falls on the 10th March this year, while in the United States it will be celebrate on the 12th May.

This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 10th March and we have a beautiful selection of ecards that you can send to your mother as a token of appreciation. One of my favourites is the ‘Terrace’ Ecard which depicts a tranquil seascape reminiscent of one of the Greek Islands.

Watch as the watering can helps nurture the plant until flowers bloom and spell out a ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ message. This card is one in a wide-range of Mother’s Day ecards on the Katie’s Cards website and the collection, which you can view by clicking here, caters for various tastes.
