Mothers Day cards are back on your department store shelves, at stationery suppliers, and in greeting card shops near you less than a month before Mother’s Day.

Readily available commercial cards are great, especially when you’re running out of time.

But DIY and personalized cards appear more sincere and well-thought-out than regular cards. 

Only give the most special greeting card to the most special mom in your life. For this, you can level up your greeting card by turning it into a video greeting card.

Here’s everything you need to know about this new trend and how it makes your greeting card more memorable.

Plus, you’ll discover greeting and video ideas for your cards below.

What makes Mother’s Day video greeting card so special

Send a video greeting card instead of a regular Happy Mother’s Day greeting card.

Don’t worry, your cards will arrive like regular greeting cards but with a fun twist. 

You can add videos and still send a physical card using a dynamic QR code.

It’s a QR code that lets you store videos, audio, and other large files without making them look cluttered.

Plus, these QR codes are customizable, editable, and trackable.

With videos, your mom can not only read your messages but also see, hear, and feel the emotions on your cards. 

Videos on your Mother's Day greeting cards make them feel more personal like someone actually spent time making them.

Also, videos are more entertaining and engaging.

You’re creating more valuable greeting cards when you personalize your cards and attach videos to them, making them memorable keepsakes for your mother.
