Questions people ask
Why is Mother's Day a different date in Spain?
The first Sunday of May in Spain (Latin America mostly keeps the second Sunday, Mexico 10 May).
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.
