To cite one of our favorite quotes about motherhood, “Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother.” And blessed are those who get to feel her warm embrace, soft presence, and care and maintain that relationship well into adulthood.

With Mother’s Day coming up, we invite you to celebrate the world’s best(=your) mother (or mother-like figure) by sending her a Mother’s Day message or letter showcasing your true love and gratitude—two qualities you have inevitably learned from her.

Ultimately, drafting a snap Mother’s Day message for mom is the least we can do for her. Yet still, don’t underestimate the power of a spoken or written word coming from the heart.

And although a bouquet of flowers or an invitation to a cozy restaurant is a beautiful way to celebrate the occasion, nothing can beat the effort and thought of crafting a sweet, heartfelt Mother’s Day wish in which you reveal all things a mother wants to hear from her child. Whether said face-to-face, over the phone, or written in a card, every motherly heart yearns to hear that her child still needs her and appreciates having her in one’s life. 

Below, we’ve compiled a list of funny, cute, heartfelt, and even punny wishes for Mother’s Day to hopefully appeal to different mother-child relationships. Feel free to use these Happy Mother’s Day wishes as inspiration to craft your personal message. OR, for a quick solution, just copy and paste your preferred one into a text message or write it down on the card.

As always, upvote the entries you liked the most, and let us know in the comments whether you will be using any of our suggestions.
