So when is Father’s Day, exactly? In the United States, Canada, UK and Ireland, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June, which this year falls on Sunday, 18th June, 2023.

Let’s celebrate all the Dads in our lives with the perfectly tailored Father’s Day card: Three cheers for all the fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, foster fathers, stepfathers, pet-dads, dads-to-be, new dads, fathers-in-law, uncles and brothers out there!

What do you say on Father’s Day?

Sometimes the best way to express your feelings is to keep it simple, and it often helps if someone has come up with some ideas to get you started! So, to get you going, we came up with some creative message ideas for what to write in your ideal Father’s Day card (we even have some top Dad jokes you can use), as well as suggestions for the top selling Father’s Day card designs and our ideas for Father’s Day gifts to make Dad crack the biggest smile when you gift him something better than socks this Father’s Day.
