Hallmark Postage-Paid Mother's Day Greeting Cards Review and Giveaway

Mother’s Day is a chance for us to give thanks for all moms given. The day gives us the opportunity to pause and celebrate the perfectly imperfect moments moms experience – the very moments that make motherhood meaningful. As we get ready to recognize moms this Mother’s Day, I wanted to share a new card innovation from Hallmark designed help make it a little bit easier to connect with all of the special moms (and mom figures) in our lives.

New for Mother’s Day 2011, Hallmark has partnered with the U.S. Postal Service to offer Postage-Paid Greetings – a line of cards that already includes postage. Just sign, seal and send! There are more than 90 Mother’s Day Postage-Paid Greetings to choose from, making it easier to celebrate your mom, mother-in-law, grandma, aunt, sister or anyone else who has been like a mother to you.

The postage is treated like a Forever stamp, and its value will always be equal to the price of a standard First-Class stamp, regardless of when it’s mailed. Postage-Paid Greetings are sold in Hallmark stores, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS and other Hallmark distribution partners across the country. Mother’s Day Postage-Paid Greetings range from $2.69 - $3.99.

In addition to Mother’s Day Postage-Paid Greetings, Hallmark offers more than 200 “everyday” and seasonal Postage-Paid Greetings.

My Opinion

I had surgery yesterday (for the second time in five weeks!!) so I am not quite as prepared for Mother's Day as I should be. That is why I am so happy that I have Hallmark's Postage-Paid Mother's Day cards that I can just sign and send! No hobbling to get the stamps, no searching endlessly for envelopes or having to go buy Mother's Day cards at the store!

The Hallmark cards I received are so great and cute! There are cards for mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts...pretty much any mother you have in your life! :) I can't wait to send them out to all the special women and mothers in my life! I want everyone to know how much I appreciate what they have done for me and their children...and what better to do that with then a Hallmark card!!

I recommend Hallmark Postage-Paid Mother's Day greeting cards for everyone this Mother's Day! It makes sending out that special card really easy this year so that there are no excuses for why your Mother did not receive a Mother's Day card from you! :) She doesn't even need to know how easy it was to send it out!

Buy It: You can purchase all Postage-Paid Mother's Day cards for $2.69 - $3.99 at a Hallmark Gold Crown store near you (they are also available at Walmart, Walgreens and CVS.)
