How could we possibly forget all the mothers in our lives? From our own mothers to our mother in-laws to our friends who will be mothers really soon, what a wonderful opportunity to show them how much we care!

If you are a little late and fresh out of ideas for what to get the mothers in your life this year, here’s something that may help. How about getting her a gift certificate you know she’ll use? Tiny Prints has a whole bunch of products for her from thank you cards to birthday invitations to choose from. Ranging from $10-$100, this is a great gift to give the mom who loves to plan parties for her kids, and always sends you a thank you note. This will save her time and money and we think she’ll definitely send you a thank you for this gift, maybe even one from our Tiny Prints line.

Did you know that 2008 marks the 100th anniversary of Mother’s Day? The first Mother’s Day was celebrated by Anna Jarvis in Grafton, West Virginia at the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church. On that day, Jarvis passed out more than 500 carnations to each mother in the congregation – a white carnation was worn to honor deceased mothers and a pink one to honor a living mother. This custom quickly caught on and spread throughout the country and in 1914 President Wilson declared the first national Mother’s Day as a day to honor mothers whose sons had died in war.

Today, Mother’s Day has expanded into a day where we honor all of the mothers in our lives. This can extend beyond our “moms” to our grandmothers, mother-in-laws and any other inspirational women who have made an impression on us.

How do you plan to honor all the moms in your life this Mother’s Day?

Don’t panic! Whether you have a grade school grad or a college grad, you are probably all too aware of how fast graduation is approaching. One of things that must get done is the graduation announcements.

Graduation announcements serve many purposes. For one thing it helps let all of your friends and family know, near and far, about your child’s accomplishments. Secondly, a lot of schools limit the number of guests you can invite because of space issues. And it’s also great to have a celebration after the ceremony and your announcement can tell people where to go following it.

Here are just a few from the Tiny Prints collection.

Also, remember to send thank you notes to everyone who came and those who generously gave gifts.
