What to Write in a Father’s Day Card?

While the content of the Father's Day Card is up to you and it will depend on the relationship you have with your dad, you may follow these steps when drafting a card:

1. Say hello to your father and ask him about his well-being - if you do not live together and your communication is scarce, you should inquire about his health and ask about the latest news and developments in his life. Note that it will imply your dad replies to the card you send him - make sure you provide him with a way to reach out to you by including your phone number or current address.
2. Congratulate the card recipient - a simple "Happy Father's Day!" and heartfelt wishes will go a long way. If your dad has been dealing with any issues lately, you can wish him to handle the obstacles in his way; thank your dad for everything he has done for you and be specific - reflect on your relationship and mention the positive impact of your father on your life during the upbringing.
3. Tell your father a few words about yourself - how your life is at the moment, what are your goals, aspirations, and dreams for the nearest future. You may point out how your father's advice helped you to accomplish your goals and how motivated you are thanks to him.
4. To finish the message, you can share a funny story from your past, reminisce about an event you got to share with your dad, or include a quote from his or your favorite book. Sign the card with your own hand even if you choose to print the rest of the words.

How to Make a Father’s Day Card?

Here are some tips for you if you plan to create a homemade Father's Day Card:

1. Find perfect ornaments, patterns, and pictures you can print out and glue to the card or fold into a card. While there are endless Father's Day Card designs available online, it may be a better idea to customize the card using pictures and drawings not initially created for the purposes of inserting them on the card. For instance, you can find a photo of your dad's favorite sports team, hobby, or painting and decorate the card with it - the effect will be amplified if you attach the card to a present that is connected to the card visually.
2. When it comes to the shape of the card, you can benefit from these Father's Day Card ideas - make a connection between the card and your father's profession or lifestyle: if he is a man who likes to dress well, you can draw a necktie or shape the card in the form of a suit; if he likes to work with his hands, a card that resembles a toolbox will put a smile on his face.
3. If you are helping your child to prepare a gift for their father, consider including one of their drawings in the card design. You can glue the latest drawing of your son or daughter in the card, ask them to draw something new for the occasion, or fold the drawing to make it card-shaped. If your kid is old enough to write, they can write their own name on the card and add "Happy Father's Day, dad" or you may trace their hand as their first signature.
