Mother's Day Message in Japanese Language: What to write in a Mother’s Day card

Mother's Day 2023 in Japan : Sunday, 14 May 2023

Here are 10 sample Japanese messages that you can write in a Mother's Day card (母の日カード・ははのひかーど) :

Note: 'Happy Mother's Day' is often translated into 「母の日おめでとう」 or 「母の日おめでとうございます」, which means 'Congratulations on Mother's Day' if translated back into English. Some people wonder why 'Congratulations'? In Japan, it is more common to use 「母の日ありがとう」, which means 'Thanks for Mother's Day', in Mother's Day cards. However, some companies, like gift shops or flower shops, still use 「母の日おめでとう」 or 「母の日おめでとうございます」on their Mother's Day message templates. While not incorrect, these phrases might not sound very natural in Japanese. In the following sample messages, we have opted for 「ハッピーマザーズデー」, which is 'Happy Mother's Day' written in Katakana.


ハッピーマザーズデー!いつもありがとう。私が幸せなのは、あなたのおかげです。
