Make the day extra special by choosing the perfect birthday card messages for mum and the ultimate card choice with Lumibop. We know it isn’t always easy, and that’s why we’re here to help you get everything right – because our mums deserve the best.

Here at Lumibop, we have stunning cards for every occasion. From birthday cards or her or him, or the kids, to jaw-dropping Valentine’s Day cards. No matter the occasion, we have something that will be perfect.

How Do You Write the Perfect Birthday Message for Mum?

Birthday card messages for mum need to be just right, with love, care, and a whole lot of affection for her to feel through the words. However, your exact message will always depend on the relationship you have with your mum, what she likes, and the memories you have made together. 

Every message should be personalised to suit her and what she loves. So, while we can offer some advice and insight into curating the perfect message, make sure to personalise what you have to say to be unique to her. 

Some examples of personalised messages might include something like:

• Mention her favourite show/series/film/music in the card message

• Refer back to a special memory that the two of you share

• Mention her favourite food or drink

• Inside jokes that you might share

Heartfelt Messages to Show Your Love and Appreciation

Heartfelt birthday card messages for mum should express gratitude, love, and appreciation. Whether sweet, funny, or sentimental, the right words will make her day extra special.

If you are very close with your mum, a heartfelt message is going to go a long way, so it might be a good idea to have some tissues at hand! We don’t want to make mum cry unless it’s tears of joy, and with the right words and sentiment, your birthday card message will brighten her day – especially if it’s in a thoughtful Lumibop card.

5 heartfelt messages for mum’s birthday card:

• If you ask me if angels walk among us, I’ll introduce you to my mum. Happy birthday to the most amazing woman I know.

• When I think about my favourite childhood memories, I realise they were all so special because you were making our lives magical. Happy birthday to you, let’s keep making memories this year!

• How do we even begin to celebrate the bright beacon of light that is my mum? I love you so much, happy birthday!

• You've taught me everything I know, guided me through life's most difficult moments, and inspired me to keep going along the way. Words will never describe just how much that means to me. I love you.

• Wishing you a day that brings the same kind of happiness and joy you bring to me. Happy Birthday, mum

• If I can be even half the woman you are, I’ll be proud of myself. Happy birthday to a mum who sets the bar high!

Short and Sweet Birthday Wishes for Mum

With lots of our cards, the card says everything you need it to. But, even with thoughtful and beautiful designs like we have, you should always include a message to your mum, even if it’s short and sweet. You can be funny, sincere, or anything in between, but make sure that it’s something she will appreciate!

Short and sweet can be just a few words if you want it to be, and those few words can get the message across beautifully. It isn’t every day that you get to celebrate your mother’s birthday, and you should always be grateful that you have the opportunity, because it won’t last forever.

If you are having trouble coming up with messages, here are some short and sweet examples:

• Cheers to another trip around the sun!

• Time to make some wishes, mum. Happy birthday!

• Happy birthday to my biggest cheerleader!

• May your birthday be filled with joy and endless blessings!

• It's officially Celebrate My Mum day!

• Happy birthday to my absolute favourite person.

• No one shines brighter than you, especially on your special day!

• Happy birthday to a mum who’s truly one-of-a-kind.

• Wishing a special day to the world’s top-ranking mum.

Funny Birthday Messages to Make Mum Smile

For mums with a sense of humour, you might want to crack a joke in your Lumibop birthday card to make her smile. There are lots of funny poems and sayings you could use, or you can make it personal – just don’t overdo it and make her give you ‘the look’. 

Humour can be sincere and personal, too, so don’t be afraid to get vulnerable and show your mum how much she truly means to her. These are special moments that we will never get back, so take the time to think of something that will stick with her forever. 

Here are some options for funny messages that you can personalise to your mum:

• Roses are red, violets are blue, I love you from here to Timbuktu.

• Since it’s your birthday, I won’t start a fight with (a sibling) at dinner. Enjoy some peace and quiet for once! You deserve it

• I’m pretty sure I’m the favourite child, but since it’s your special day, I won’t put you on the spot! Happy birthday, mum!

• Don’t party too hard, young lady! Remember your curfew! Happy birthday, mum.

• You gave birth to the greatest gift you’ll ever receive. Me! Happy birthday, mum!

• Happy birthday to the mum who supported me through everything, including those rough teenage years we will pretend never happened. Sorry for being the worst!

• Whenever someone asks me how I got to be so amazing, I tell them the truth: I got it from my mum!

• You deserve the world, mum. Unfortunately, that wasn’t in the budget this year, so you’ll have to settle for this card.

• Tell grandma I say thanks (for giving birth to you, obviously).
