Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a chance to say thank you, often together: brothers and sisters, partners, grandchildren. You need to remember it in time, agree on a gift, collect everyone's share and gather the messages. Here are the steps, and what Filomy simplifies at each one.

Remember the date
What makes it complicated
The date changes every year and varies from country to country, so it often catches you out the day before.
With Filomy
Free birthday reminders alert you automatically before important dates.

Choose the gift together
What makes it complicated
Ideas fly around the family chat, everyone has an opinion and the discussion goes in circles.
With Filomy
A poll shared by link lets everyone vote for a gift idea, with a closing date and shared results.

Fund a shared gift
What makes it complicated
You have to work out each person's share, chase those who have not paid and front the money in the meantime.
With Filomy
The personalised gift voucher presents the gift (for example « A weekend by the sea ») with a target amount and everyone's words; participants pay the organiser directly. It is free.

Organise the family lunch
What makes it complicated
Finding out who is coming, with how many children and who has dietary needs takes many phone calls.
With Filomy
An invitation page, created in 2 minutes, collects replies in real time, the number of guests and answers to your questions (diet, allergies…).

Gather messages from the whole family
What makes it complicated
Grandchildren's drawings, notes and videos arrive one by one on different phones.
With Filomy
An online guest book collects messages, photos, videos and voice notes by link, QR code or WhatsApp, with no app or account.

Give a card that feels like her
What makes it complicated
A card bought at the last minute holds only a few words, and those far away cannot sign it.
With Filomy
A personalised card with a message, photo, audio or video can be shared free of charge by link or QR code.
Personalised card → - After the celebration
Stay in touch all year
What makes it complicated
Photos from the lunch stay on phones, and news gets scattered until the next celebration.
With Filomy
The Family wall, by subscription, shares photos and news all year, simply and with no account for relatives; the Elders' wall is designed for older family members.

All these steps gathered on a single mini-site, shared by link or QR code.
