Second Sunday of May in the US, which means the date changes every year and is weirdly easy to forget. Now you won't.
Want a different date? Use the picker above and you'll get a link you can share with anyone.
In the US, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May. 💐 President Wilson made it official in 1914, and because it is set by a rule rather than a number, the date changes every year.
That rule means it can only land between May 8 and May 14. Seven possible dates, and somehow it still catches people out.
- The UK does not use this date. Mothering Sunday there falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, usually in March.
- It is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants, so a table wants booking weeks out.
- Flowers and phone calls both spike that morning. Set the counter a day early if you want to beat the rush. 🌷

Questions people ask
Which date does this page use?
The US date, the second Sunday of May. If yours is different, put your own date in the picker and the page keeps the flowers.
Why does the date move?
It is defined as a weekday in a week, not a calendar number, so it lands differently each year.
