How to Choose the Perfect Mother’s Day Wishes for Your Godmother

Everyone’s relationship with their godparents is unique, so there’s no “one size fits all” way to wish your godmother a happy Mother’s Day.

Here are some helpful tips for choosing the right thing to say or writing your own special message.

• What’s the desired tone? First, decide on a tone. Do you want your message to be serious or silly? Keep this in mind when choosing the right one.
• Remember to use her title. From G to Nana, many godmothers come with their own unique titles. Be sure to substitute your godmother’s special name into your message in place of “godmother,” if applicable.
• Add a happy memory or your favorite thing about her. One way to choose a message is to pick the one you can easily fit into a happy memory you have of your godmother. You may also want one that works well with a few of the things you love about her.
• Choose one as an opener to an invitation. Spending time with your godmother can be enriching. Add an invitation to lunch or out for a Sunday drive to the end of your message. It’ll warm her heart to know you want to spend more time with her!
