My mum sent them from me when I was little, but I dont now, my grandma asked me last year "weres my mothers day card" I said you aint my mum!
My mum said "I'll be getting a card from Ruby this year" I said no, and she was like yeahhhhhhhhhhh!
I dont see the point:chin: Why do people send them to their grandmas? and do people send grandads fathers day cards?

Theyve made up a grandparents day now anyway so you could send her a specific card for that if you wanted
and i'd send one to my nan too if she were still ere
Why shouldnt you?
The cost of card is what a pound? You can't even spend a pound to make your nanna smile?
It's a nice thought if it makes you happy, and of course it's nice to make grandma smile. But personally speaking my grandmothers wouldn't have appreciated it particularly. They'd probably have preferred a bunch of flowers on March 11th "just because"
As for me sending my mother a card from my daughters... she'd think I was barking. She's sceptical enough about Hallmark holidays as it is.
Although I work in the card industry, and apparently people buy mother's day cards for the most ridiculous of relatives.
:yes: And if you start doing that, where will the madness end? Will I have to sign the card from my boyfriend to his mom? Will I have to send cards to my friends that are mothers? The lady down the street with a kid? Will men soon be recieving cards on this day for mothers?
However my nan died in October - soooo this year my sister and i are doing lunch for my mum and my aunt - i'm sad.
I like her to know how special she is, as I dont often tell her to her face as she can get a tad confused - bless her cottons!
But I've barely sent my mum a mothers day card let alone my grandmother.
I suppose we (me and sis) always have, just because my mum always bought them 'nan' and 'grandma' cards from us when we were little.
Grandma was a big part of our childhood, spent nearly every weekend there, and now I've moved out both Grandma and Grandad have been helping me - with advice and their B&Q discount card!
My dad buys my mum one like that.. usually writes something like "thankyou for my two wonderful daughters".
Odd, maybe, but I find that rather complimentary as I don't think Dad is a particular fan of mine (favours my sis) so I take it as a good sign that he might actually like me!
Plus these days Dad finally accepts that Mum practically brought us up without emotional input from Dad - he worked long hours and provided for a very good standard of living, but wasn't actually a huggy, playing kinda Dad to us, and we've turned out alright so its that he's thankful to Mum for that.
Think that's more appropriate than sending your gran one though.
That's how I've always made sense of it - 'it' being both Mothers Day and the variety of cards available!
