In the age of text messaging and email, nothing could be more touching than a Mother’s Day card sent through the regular-old mail. That is… if you can find an envelope and stamp.
I hardly ever use the US postal service anymore. I’ve signed up for automatic withdrawal for all my bills – and send emails to my loved ones. I only reserve the postal mail for very special occasions – Mother’s Day being one of them.
But the problem with the “real” mail is that it doesn’t leave room for procrastination. The mail can take 3-5 days in the US, depending on when you send it and where your destination is. So, to make sure it arrives to your Mother before Sunday May 10th, you should really send the card today… Wednesday at the very, very latest.
Next year, mark Mother’s Day on your calendar 5 days before – so you don’t wind up sending a last-minute ecard.
