Questions people ask
Why is Mother's Day a different date in Belgium?
The second Sunday of May nationally; around Antwerp, Mother's Day is also kept on 15 August.
How early should a card go out?
Posted cards: a week before. Mojo Greet cards arrive the moment you send them, so the morning of the day is fine — and a scheduled card can be set up weeks ahead and sent on the date.
Can I get reminded?
Yes. Add the people and dates once on your reminders page and we email you a week before each one, every year, with the card ready to go.
