[table-of-contents] stripped
It's like Dad always said: It's the thought that counts on Father's Day. Sure, you'll want to find him a few thoughtful Father's Day gifts, plan fun activities with the family, and cook up a big dinner in his honor. All of those things are great, but if you want to really impress him, harness the power of words. Penning something heartfelt in a card for your father goes a long way, which is why we've curated a list of the best Father's Day messages to help you convey your love and gratitude.
Now, choosing a card is the simple part. Figuring out what to write in a Father's Day card this year? That's, well, a bit more difficult. Not everyone is a wizard with words and sometimes you need a bit of inspiration. 😅 No shame in that!
Ahead, you'll find plenty of cute Father's Day messages and wishes for Dad, including the most meaningful Father's Day quotes and funniest Father's Day puns. Perhaps you're hoping to keep things short and sweet with a note like, "I'm so proud to be your kid." You can also always lighten things up by adding a slew of silly dad jokes. Or you could go full-on, whip-out-the-tissues-level sentimental like Ree Drummond did in a message to her husband Ladd one year. Either way, there's a Father's Day message on this list for you.
