Mother's Day Dates and Last Order Days by Country

Mother's Day dates by country

The date changes from one country to another, so it is worth checking before you plan. For readers in the UK and Ireland, Mother's Day is on March 7, 2027 in the UK and on March 7, 2027 in Ireland.

In the UK the day is also called Mothering Sunday, and many families mark it with a visit, a card or a shared meal. In Ireland the same Sunday is the day most families choose for a small gift or a home-cooked lunch.

If you are buying for a mother who lives in another country, use the date for her country, not the date where you live.

Last order days for a printed magazine

A magazine is printed only after it is ordered, so it needs time to be made, printed and shipped with tracking. The last day to order for Mother's Day is listed below for each market.

• UK: order by February 22, 2027
• Ireland: order by February 10, 2027

These are the last order days, not the delivery days. Shipping times depend on your address, and the estimated delivery date for your address is shown before you pay. If you want the magazine to arrive before the day itself, order at least a few days before the last order day to leave room for any delays in the post.

How the last order day is worked out

The last order day is counted back from the occasion, not picked at random. We allow time for the magazine to be made, printed with our printing partner, packed and sent, and we also allow for the delivery time to the destination.

In practice this means the last order day is earlier than the occasion by the number of business days the delivery takes to your country, plus production time. The delivery times we work with for each market are shown on our shipping page, and the exact date for your address is always shown at checkout.

Because the calculation depends on the market, the same occasion can have different last order days in different countries. That is why the list above is given per country. You can also see all our prices and delivery details in one place.

Making it in time

If you are ordering for Mother's Day, start early. A magazine works best when it has time to be filled with the right photos and stories, and the editor lets you change everything before you order.

You can make the magazine yourself in the editor, or with Dee, the AI assistant, who asks questions and drafts the pages for you. Either way, you can review each page before ordering. Photos stay private to your account and are used only to make and print the magazine.

If you miss the last order day, there is still a gift in a magazine you can plan for the next occasion. Many people keep a draft in their account and finish it when the next date is closer. To browse layouts first, see the magazine designs.

Add the dates to your calendar

The simplest way to stay on time is to write the last order day in your calendar as well as the occasion itself. Set a reminder a week before it, so there is room to choose photos and write a short note.

The same approach works for other occasions too, such as Father's Day and Valentine's Day. For more ideas on what to put on the pages, read our guide to personal gift ideas, or start a magazine with Dee when you are ready.
