Father's Day cards from a daughter, a son, the kids or a wife
From grown up kids, a Father's Day card is the thank you that is hard to say out loud. A daughter might pick a soft script design with a photo of the two of them, a son a bold badge, a gold medal or the chess board for every game he lost. Thank You Dad, You Helped Me Grow and My True North say it without many words.
Young kids love the crayon photo frames, the handprints, the stick figure family drawing, an out of this world rocket and the Super Dad comic. Take a photo of their own drawing, put it in a photo frame and let them choose the message.
From a wife, To My Husband or Our Kids' Dad, with big and little shoes side by side, thanks him for the father he is. For a first Father's Day, the baby's footprints, a papa bear hug or a newborn photo make a card he will keep, and Daddy to Be and Dad in Training designs are ready for the dad who is still waiting.
Cards for Grandpa, a stepdad, a father in law and an uncle
Grandpa gets his armchair, his chai and the old radio, or a three generations photo card with grandpa, dad and child on one branch. For a stepdad or bonus dad, the puzzle piece and Step by Step designs say that family is about who shows up, and Father Figure is for any man who was there when it counted.
There are clean, elegant designs for a father in law, a Best Uncle Ever card, a guiding star for a godfather, and Best Dog Dad and Purrfect Cat Dad cards to sign from the pets.
Funny Father's Day cards and cards for his hobbies
Dad jokes are welcome here: a Dad Joke Loading bar, a dad jokes warning sign, a dictionary definition of Dad, a moustache, a Certificate of Awesome, a gold medal and a Number One Dad rosette. Funny Father's Day cards are the safe pick for the family group chat.
Or pick his hobby: the grill master and his apron, fishing at sunset, golf, football and cricket, tools on the workshop pegboard, a retro car on a road trip, chess, coffee, camping by the campfire, mountain trails, video games, vinyl records and pancakes. Retro badges, a seventies Rad Dad and classic navy and gold designs suit the dad who likes things simple.

40 designs have a photo frame, and 14 of them hold two or three photos.

Father's Day cards for a dad in heaven
Father's Day can be hard after losing your dad. Gentle remembrance designs, a starry sky, a candle, an empty bench and forget me nots, let you add his photo and a few words, to keep for yourself or to send to your mom, brothers and sisters.
What to write in a Father's Day card
A good Father's Day message names one thing he did for you, then says thank you. "Thank you for every early drive to practice, Dad. I notice it more every year" says more than a long poem. Two or three short sentences read best on a phone.
From a daughter or a son, a shared memory or an inside joke works best. From a wife, thank him for the dad he is to your children. Young kids should keep it short so they can read it to him. For Grandpa, a stepdad or a father in law, a warm thank you and a wish for a relaxing day is plenty, and funny Father's Day messages are best for the dad who tells the jokes himself.
