These dates apply to cards, letters and small parcels, which should be under 2kg and no larger than a shoe box.

If you're serving abroad and want to send cards and gifts back home for Mother's Day, the Royal Mail advises speaking to your local Forces Post Office or Unit Postal officer to find out the recommended date from where you are.

Mothering Sunday is on March 11.
