Making and giving greeting cards to recognize birthdays has been a tradition for generations and generations. Cards range from store bought to homemade - from serious and elegant to humorous and cartoonish. A birthday card is a great way to let friends and family members know that you care and that you are thinking about them when that special day comes to pass each year. It is important not to forget birthdays, but if you do there are always belated salutations available in the greeting card aisle.

Birthday Cards for Mom

Mothers tend to appreciate a personal touch. When it comes to celebrating your mom's birthday, or the birthday of another mom in your life, finding a way to personalize or DIY a card can be helpful. Making your own card for your mom on her celebratory day will be well noticed and appreciated no matter what age she is coming to reach. When you make a card by yourself, it is also easier to make the card feature exactly the words and pictures that you desire. You may even save money as well. Any mom is sure to see the extra effort and feel a warm fuzzy feeling inside that will carry on until next year's celebration.

Funny Birthday Cards for Mom

For families that appreciate a good sense of humor, a silly or funny card can be a great way to celebrate when mom's birthday comes around. That extra laugh will make her birthday celebration even more special and full of joy. The perfect joke will also show that you pay attention to what she finds funny, which provides a thoughtful touch. If you cannot find the perfect joke card in stores, you can always make a homemade card with a good joke, clever saying, silly picture, or funny personalized reference/story.

How to Make Birthday Cards for Your Mom

There are all kinds of ways to make festive cards - from calligraphy and extravagant glitter details, to pop up cards with surprising shapes, to basic folded paper cards. Any mother is sure to appreciate the effort, no matter how small or large the amount of detail put into the card is. A few key steps are to always fold the paper for your card in half or quarters, to add a sweet or funny message inside, and to make sure you write "Happy Birthday Mom" on the front. From there, it is all about considering what your mom personally will appreciate the most. If you can make her laugh, you will make her day.
