What to Write in a Father’s Day Card

June 18, 2016 By The Poet

With Father’s Day upon us, have you ever wondered What to Write in a Father’s Day Card? Once a year we celebrate Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June.

For many families, it’s all about traditions. A favorite meal is served. Dad gets a pass from chores for the week. Perhaps there’s a family golf outing or Dad golfs with some friends — with no complaints from others. Father’s Day came about in 1910, two years after Mother’s Day. A single father who raised six children was celebrated at a YMCA in Spokane, Washington.

Traditional gifts for Father’s day include a tie, socks, a book, a golf club, shirts, candy, and more. By the time a father has kids old enough to buy gifts, he might have many of the necessities met, so buying a gift for him can be a challenge.

Brookstone, the mall store with unique gifts, was apparently developed with Father’s Day in mind. Any great gift needs to be accompanied by a Father’s Day Card. Then the true challenge begins.

What do you write a Father’s Day Card?

Make your Father’s Day Card Special

  • Well, here are a few suggestions:
  • I’d like to apologize for all of your gray hair. Genetics! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
  • I take some comfort in knowing that in my younger days, I set a family record for time-outs — signed, your #1 son.
  • We share a love of sports that’s brought us closer, especially if we shove the recliners together.
  • Dad, I notice in your wallet you have photos of where your money used to be.
  • Hopefully, this Father’s Day will provide you as much fun as before you had kids.

Messages for Dad on Father’s Day

Dad, thanks for showing me how to play baseball. Don’t read too much into the fact that the few times I got to play it was in the right field.

Dad, you’re the best banker I ever knew. Love, your favorite daughter.

I hope I’ve made you proud, Dad and if not, hey, maybe you ought to lower your expectations.

I have to salute you, Dad, for my Hollywood good looks. The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree!

How is a baby bird like its dad? He’s a chirp off the old block! Happy Dad’s Day!
