Choosing the flowers is easy.
Finding the right words? That’s where it gets personal.

Mother’s Day is more than just a holiday — it’s your chance to say the things you might not always say out loud. Whether you’re writing from the heart, keeping it short and sweet, or trying to capture years of love in a single card, this guide will help you find the words that feel just right.

At Pink Clover, we’ve seen thousands of cards sent with flowers — and we know the message matters just as much as the bouquet.

Simple Tips for Writing a Mother’s Day Card

• Be personal — it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be yours

• Speak from memory — bring up a moment, a habit, or something she always says

• One line is enough — even a short message can mean everything

• Don’t overthink it — just tell her how much she means to you

Add Even More Meaning with Your Flowers

When you order Mother’s Day flowers from Pink Clover, we give you more ways to make the gift unforgettable — not just beautiful.

Free Personalized Video Message with Flowers

With any order over $200, you can send a short video message with your flowers.
Your mom will receive a QR code card with the bouquet — she can scan it and watch your message instantly.

Imagine how it feels: she opens the flowers… smiles… scans the card…
And there you are — on her screen, saying “I love you” in your own voice.

It’s more than a gift. It’s a moment she’ll remember.

Custom Ribbon with Her Name or Message

We also offer a personalized ribbon printed with her name, a quote, or any short message — so she can keep a part of the bouquet forever.
Some moms even frame it. Some tie it to their favorite book.
It’s a small touch that feels incredibly personal.

Just add your message when placing your order — and we’ll take care of the rest.

Final Thoughts

Mother’s Day isn’t about the biggest bouquet or the longest message.
It’s about the love behind it — and the small things that say, “You matter to me.”

So whether your card says three words or three paragraphs, say them your way.
And let us help you deliver them beautifully.
