Father's Day Cards for Moms (and Vice Versa)

For years, consumers have expressed a desire for cards that specifically acknowledge the role of a single mother on Father's Day, as well as the reverse - cards for single dads on Mother's Day - and cards to honor other people (neighbors, coaches, aunts and uncles, etc.) in someone's life on Mother's and Father's Day.   Hallmark has offered choices appropriate to these situations for the past several years, available in multiple card lines. 

In 2013, we are offering one "To Mom on Father's Day" card each in our general Father's Day and Mahogany lines, both of which also include "Like a Father" options. 

Not every card is available in every store that carries Hallmark, so check with your local retailer for availability (Hallmark Gold Crown store locator.) 

Card-shoppers also have the choice of creating personalized cards for either of these holidays, acknowledging any parent or individual playing a parenting role, through the personalized print-on-demand section of Hallmark.com.

Note:  Online reports about these cards in 2011, which may still be available on the internet, included a number of inaccuracies, including an image of a Mother's Day card from the 2011 Mahogany Mother's Day line erroneously identified as a Father's Day card for a mother.
