A Mother's Day star map
A Mother's Day star map shows the stars above the night she became a mom: the place and minute her first child was born. It carries a title and a message from you.
In the US, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May. A star map suits a first Mother's Day, a mom who has everything, or a grandmother.

Which date, time and place to choose
Use the birth of a child: the city of the hospital or home, and the minute of birth. For a mom of several children, order one map per child in the same theme and size, so the prints hang as a set.
From an adult child, your own birth is the natural choice. Ask your dad, an aunt or a grandparent for the time, or check your birth certificate.
Other good choices: her wedding night, the night she met your dad, or the day an adopted child came home.

Message ideas
- The sky the night you became my mom. Thank you for everything since.
- Happy first Mother's Day. This is the sky the morning we met Lily.
- Three stars of your own, born under these skies.
- The night you first held me. Happy Mother's Day.
- To Grandma, the sky over the night our family started.
- You gave me life and every good thing in it.
For a first Mother's Day
A first Mother's Day often falls only months after the birth, when the details are fresh. Use the hospital and the time on the bracelet. A partner can order it without asking, because they were there.
Starlight is a soft choice for a bedroom or nursery. Midnight and Eclipse look like a night sky.
Size and frame
A 12 × 16 in print fits a bedside wall or a shelf. An 18 × 24 in print suits a main wall. A frame in black, white or natural is ready to hang on the day.
Order before May
We print each map after you order it and we ship it. Order by late April to leave a margin before the second Sunday of May.
What to write
From a partner, write the moment: the time, the place, and what you remember. From a child, a short thank you is enough. For a grandmother, sign it from the whole family.
