Have you ever wondered how Mother's Day greeting cards began? The Smithsonian's The History of Mother's Day: From Global Peace to Greeting explores the origins of the holiday and its connection to greeting cards. The story dates back to the Civil War era, when Julia Ward Howe advocated for a Mother's Day Proclamation and an annual day dedicated to peace, though her efforts were never officially recognized. Later, Ann Jarvis and her daughter Anna Jarvis played key roles in establishing Mother's Day. However, the holiday eventually became highly commercialized, which was not the intention either woman had envisioned.
