Grandpa, Gramps, Papa, Grandad and so on. Whatever you call him, share how special he is to you this Father’s Day.
“Happy Father’s Day to the best grandpa in the world!”
“You’ve always told me the best stories and the funniest jokes. Always enjoy whenever we get to spend time together.”

Messages For a Father Figure
A father figure doesn’t always mean the traditional dad. It could be your uncle, a family friend, step-dad, a Grandpa, or whoever stepped up into that role.
“Having you in my life has meant more than you could ever know. Happy Father’s Day to my almost dad.”
“Thank you for being such an amazing man. I’ll always look up to you.”
“Wanted to recognize you on Father’s Day for being a father figure to me. I don’t know where I’d be without you.”
“You’re the father figure everyone needs in their lives. I’m lucky to have had you as such a special person in my life.”
If you can’t find the perfect card, make your own. Add personalized stickers, stamps and text for a card as unique as your bond.
Messages For a Father-to-be or First Time Dad
Whether they’re a newbie to the Dad game or about to become one for a second, third or fourth (or maybe more!) time, make this a very special Father’s Day for them.
“You’re a great partner, so I know you’ll make an amazing dad. Our future child is lucky to have you.”
“Enjoy this last Father’s Day in peace! Next year there will be a tiny bundle of terror running around.”
“Happy 1st Father’s Day. You’re a natural at this.”
“This may only be your first Father’s Day, but you’re already a real pro at this.”
Include a photo of their fatherly highlight so far for a card that will be tough to top any other Father’s Day.
