19 Hilarious Mother's Day Cards For Your Mom

by Rebecca Deczynski

While you may be thankful for your mom 365 days in a year (or 366 in a Leap Year), Mother’s Day is the day when it’s best to show your love in the most overt way. But it doesn’t have to be all sappy and emotional — and with these funny Mother’s Day cards you can give your mom a memento that she’ll chuckle at for years to come. Sentimentality is nice, but a good sense of humor simply cannot be beat.

Whether you want to spark a sibling rivalry on Mother’s Day or you’d like to hint to your mom that you could still use a little help with your laundry even though you are definitely a grown, capable adult, there is a card for that. Skip the drugstore card aisle and turn to Etsy for some of the funniest picks. Pair that with the perfect Mother’s Day present and a nice dinner, and your Mother’s Day plans are set. Get creative with your gift — there are plenty of unconventional Mother’s Day gifts that your mom is sure to love.

When it comes to cards, it’s fun to get a little bit crazy — and your mom is bound to appreciate your sense of humor.
