Express your love and appreciation for your sister this Mother's Day with heartfelt greetings that celebrate the bond of sisterhood and motherhood. From cherished memories to shared laughter, honor the unique role she plays in your life with a thoughtful message that warms her heart.


Mother’s Day is about celebrating your mother. But it’s also a great opportunity to tell the other moms in your life that you appreciate and admire them. Your sister is your nieces’ and nephews’ mom, so Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to tell her what a great job she’s doing.

After you select the perfect Mother’s Day Cards for your sister there’s the issue of what to say. You will want to consider the tone of your message. Do you want to strike a sweet and sincere tone? Or a funny one? If you both are religious, consider including religious messages. It can be hard to find the right words, so we’ve created a guide for this very particular occasion.

You’ll also want to consider giving your sister a gift or planning a special activity for her this Mother’s Day. At Minted, we have a wide assortment of stylish and beautifully crafted gifts that she’ll love as well as some fun and relaxing suggestions for Mother’s Day activities.


Greetings & Wishes

Knowing what to say on a card for such a specific occasion can be difficult. Luckily, we’ve made it easy for you with our stylish line of Mother’s Day Cards for Sisters. We also have suggestions for personalized messages to include with your card. Feel free to mix and match, or take parts of some suggestions and skip others.
