Cute Printable Korean Parent’s Day Cards for 어버이 날!
My half-Korean kids are missing their grandparents extra these days. This week, we’re sending them cute Korean Parents’ Day cards! As always, we’re excited to share these printable cards with you!
Although handmade cards are usually the best gift, we know that store-bought cards are convenient when we’re short on time. However, since Korean is a minority language in the United States, Korean greeting cards are nearly impossible to find in small towns like ours.
Therefore, I hope these printables can help encourage your family to learn about the holiday in Korean! Korean parents and grandparents that are immigrants will likely appreciate sweet messages in their native language!

Red carnations are the traditional gift, and these flowers symbolize love and gratitude.
