Mother’s Day in Argentina is in October

This year it is . That is 4 days from now. If you live in the US, Spain, Mexico or Italy, your Mother’s Day was in May — in Argentina it is the third Sunday of October, and it is the day people living abroad most often find out about too late.

Mother’s Day around the world

The date changes from country to country, which is exactly why it is easy to miss when you live in one and your mother lives in another:

  • United States, Canada, Italy, Germany, Australia: second Sunday of May.
  • Spain: first Sunday of May.
  • Mexico: May 10, whatever the weekday.
  • France: usually the last Sunday of May.
  • United Kingdom and Ireland: Mothering Sunday, in March (three weeks before Easter).
  • Argentina: third Sunday of October.

Because the Argentine date moves every year, it always lands between October 15 and October 21. A useful habit: put a reminder in your calendar for the first week of October.

A card message in Spanish

The card message (dedicatoria) is free and optional. If your mother reads Spanish, a few short lines in the way Argentines actually speak:

  • ¡Feliz Día, mamá! Te extraño mucho. — Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! I miss you so much.
  • Aunque estemos lejos, hoy estoy con vos. Te quiero. — Even though we are far apart, today I am with you. I love you.
  • Gracias por todo, ma. Feliz día. — Thank you for everything, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day.
  • Para la mejor abuela del mundo. ¡Feliz día! — For the best grandma in the world. Happy Mother’s Day!

Ma is the everyday short form of mamá, and vos is the Argentine “you”.
