Intro
With Mother's Day being tomorrow, May 13, it's highly likely that some ignorant card mistakes are going to be made. Before you make one yourself, click through the gallery to see some of the biggest (and probably unintentional) fails, all on mom's national holiday.
The 15 Most Ignorant Mother's Day Cards
Mad Mom
The Mad Mom Card
Given the 2 ways your mom could take this card, whether she's a fan of the TV show or not, play it safe and don't get this one.

Samuel
The Samuel L. Jackson Card
While your mom may have a good sense of humor and/or swoon for Samuel L. Jackson, this card is ridiculous and over-the-top.
Superhero
The Superhero-themed Card
Maybe your mom's into the whole superhero thing, but this takes it way too far. Just tell her she's a supermom if you need to go there.
Swear
The "Sorry I Swear So Much" Card
Mom doesn't need to be reminded of any of your flaws on her national holiday. Save it for another time, or never.

Lady Parts
The Inappropriate Lady Parts Card
Your mom may have a sense of humor, but this is just too graphic. Don't go there. She obviously remembers.
source
Wife 2
The Wifey Card
Do we even have to say why this card is so unbelievably ignorant?
Momism
The Momisms Card
The Momisms card, filled with plenty of "Because I said so" lines is all too ignorant. Moms know the lines they use, and they could care less to see them on Mother's Day.

Birth Mother
The Birth Mother Card
A card thanking your birth mother is cute and all, but it's a little awkward. You wouldn't want a card that thanks you for being an "adopted son," would you?
Mum
The "Why do you have to be a massive bitch?" Card
Granted this is a card addressing "Mum," and has a little bit of blunt British humor to it, we don't suggest calling your mom a bitch on MOTHER'S DAY.
Wife 1
Another Wifey Card
It's already kind of weird to say Happy Mother's Day to your wife, but to do so with a weird frog graphic is just stupid. Even a blank card would be a million times better.
Worst
The Overthinking-It Card
This is the overthinking-it card for a reason. Just because you don't have another point of reference, doesn't mean mom needs to realize it.
source
Cats 2
The From Your Cat Card
This is just too much. Mom doesn't need a card that you ghost-wrote for the cat. No thanks.
Wrong
The Overdoing It Card
There's just an easier way to say all of these things. Your mom gets it, she's the best. Just say that.
Obligatory
Obligatory Card
We admit that sending your mom a card or flowers might feel like an obligation, but there's no need to point it out. At least pretend like you mean it.

The "Stop Bothering Me on Facebook" E-card
Yeah, mom's need to stop bothering us on Facebook, but can't you ask her any of the other 364 days in the year?
