Birthdays are exciting celebrations no matter who you are or what age you’re turning, but for moms, they’re so much more than that.
“Birthdays are a moment to appreciate and acknowledge a mom’s role within a family,” Olivia Pollock, Etiquette & Party Expert at Evite, tells Good Housekeeping. “[They] might not explicitly express it, but [moms] cherish the moments when [they] feel acknowledged and loved by [their] children and loved ones.” And while it’s great to prioritise getting her the right birthday cake or picking the perfect present, Pollock notes that sentimental messages mean the most.
“In essence, saying ‘Happy Birthday’ to our moms isn't just something we do to be polite. It's a heartfelt way of showing how much we love and appreciate them,” she says, “It's like giving back a tiny bit of all the love and care they've given us over the years.” And with that in mind, make sure she fully feels all that by sending her one of our best birthday wishes for moms. Ranging from heartfelt sentiments to funny one-liners and even some quotes about moms, just pop one of these messages in her card or share face-to-face and see how quickly her face brightens up on her next birthday.
