Dad, you’re the best…at sleeping with your mouth open, embarrassing us in public and making us snacks. Happy Father’s Day to our MVP!
Happy Father’s Day, Dad! As a gift to you, I promise to clean my room…tomorrow.
Dad, you’re the best father ever! And we didn’t just say that because Mom said you’d order a pizza tonight…but it helped.
Dear Dad, We wanted to get you something really special for Father’s Day, but we spent all of our money on snacks. This card, though? It’s priceless!
Here comes Dad. He’s approaching the couch for a solid nap formation. He’s going for the full snore. Yes! It’s a touchdown!
Dad, We may not always listen…or behave…or clean. But we ALWAYS love you. That counts for something, right? Happy Father’s Day!
Dad, You’ve fixed so many things in our house. It’s only fair that we break stuff occasionally to keep you busy! Happy Father’s Day!
Dear Dad, Thank you for being the kind of father I want to grow up to be. Minus the dad jokes. Those can stay with you.
Being a dad to this many awesome kids must be so exhausting! You’re welcome for giving you a daily workout.
From all of us to you: Thank you for always being the snack-provider, tie-breaker and the one who pretends not to hear Mom say “no.”
You’re a real survivor, Dad. You’ve survived spilled juice, sibling fights and tantrums. You deserve an award for your bravery. Or at least a nap.
To Dad, our hero, protector and top-tier bug remover. What would we do without you?
Some dads are fun. Some are cool. Some are sweet. You’re all three AND you make epic pancakes. That’s a total win.
You’re the best Dad ever…even if your dance moves are a little suspicious.
To the best Dad in the world. And we’re not just saying that because Mom said so, although that did help us decide.
Dad, Thank you for all of your patience, your wisdom and your unbelievable ability to fall asleep anywhere, anytime.
We’re proud of you for raising a group of semi-functioning humans. That’s no small feat. We turned out MOSTLY okay.
Happy Father’s Day dad! I know who to go to when I need advice that I never asked for.
Dad. You have taught me all of the important life skills to become a man. Falling asleep sitting up. Forgetting to do the laundry. You know, all of the things that make you, you.
Happy Father’s Day, pops. Even when you confuse the remote for your phone, we still love you.
Fine, fine, fine. I’ll admit it just this once. You were RIGHT about everything. Please don’t bring it up again. Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day. You know the saying. “Behind every great kid (me) is a dad wondering how they pulled it off.”
Dad. Happy Father’s Day. I know raising us was never easy. We’re dramatic, loud, stubborn and never listen. I wonder where we got it from?
Happy Father’s Day to the man who would always pass us his leftovers when mom wasn’t looking and told us it’s the best he could do.
Dad, Thanks for being our personal handyman, driver and reluctant dance partner at weddings. We love you!
Dad, you’ve taught us so much, including how to turn off the smoke alarm when making toast.
Grandpa, Happy Father’s Day! You’ve earned the right to fall asleep during any movie. No questions asked!
Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for spoiling us rotten and sending us home like a pro.
Grandpa, you’re just like a regular dad… only wiser, cooler and more likely to slip us some candy when no one is looking. Happy Father’s Day!
Thanks for always being on our side (especially when our parents say no). We’ll never forget your bravery, grandpa!
Grandpa, you’re kind, wise and full of stories that may not be true. We love every single one anyway.
Happy Father’s Day to the grandpa who always makes time for ice cream, hugs and some suspicious life advice.
We love you, Grandpa! You’re just like a vintage car: dependable, classic and occasionally a little gassy.

Funny Father’s Day Message Ideas From a Spouse
Whether this is his first Father’s Day or 20th, it’s important to celebrate your partner on this special day. Here are some funny message ideas to write in his card.
Happy Father’s Day to the man who makes “Dad Mode” look easy… until someone throws up.
Watching you be a dad is so attractive. Especially when you cook dinner without being asked. Just saying…
You’re the kind of dad I always wanted my kids to have. You’re funny, patient and only slightly traumatized.
You may not know where anything in the kitchen is, but you always know how to make our kids laugh. That’s what really counts.
You’re doing such an amazing job… even if the kids think your jokes are terrible. I still laugh. It’s mostly out of love, though.
Happy Father’s Day to my love! May your naps be uninterrupted and your lawn freshly mowed.
Today, we celebrate your Dad superpowers: fixing broken things, locating weird noises and (most importantly) hiding the good snacks from the kids.
I always knew you’d be a great dad. But I never realized how many sound effects you’d use to narrate life.
You are the rock of this family… mostly because you sit in the same spot on the couch every day.
You’re an amazing Dad. Even when you supervise the kids’ bedtime from your phone. It’s an impressive talent, really.
Happy Father’s Day to the man who gave me such beautiful children…and a whole new appreciation for noise-canceling headphones.
Happy Father’s Day to the love of my life, the father of our kids and the main reason we can’t have nice things.
You’re just like a superhero… if superheroes told the same joke 400 times and wore Crocs.
Happy Father’s Day! Your dad jokes are terrible. Your patience? It’s still developing. But we love you madly anyway.
Fatherhood is the only job where showing up late to drop the kids off at school gets you a high-five and mad love. Great job, champ!
You’re our calm in the storm. You break as many toys as you fix. You cry and then we all cry. And when you trip and fall, we all laugh. You’re our MVP.
You’ve finally won. Our kids are great. You haven’t lost your mind – fully. For you, my love, it’s a win that I’ll take credit for.

Funny Father’s Day Message Ideas From Siblings
Siblings exchange cards all the time. Sometimes, a brother or sister views their older brother as a father figure or just wants to tell them, “Happy Father’s Day.” If you have a really good relationship, you can even add a bit of humor to your message.
Want some inspiration?
Use these messages verbatim (I won’t judge) or adapt them to fit your sibling’s personality better:
Happy Father’s Day. I remember when you couldn’t clean your room.. And now you’re raising children of your own.
You turned out to be a great dad. It’s shocking, really. You were grounded all the time growing up.
Solid parenting. I’m proud of my brother. The kids are mostly clean and happy. And you haven’t run away – yet! You’re doing alright.
Impressive! You’re raising humans when just yesterday you were duct taping your bumper on your car, hoping mom and dad wouldn’t find out about your accident.
Brother of mine. If you can do it, there’s hope for the rest of us. Happy Father’s Day.
I still remember all of the times that you would run around the house looking for your shoes. Now you have kids, and you’re keeping track of them so far.
Happy Father’s Day. You used to lose money all the time going out partying, but now you have children who will lose your money for you. I guess things really do come full circle.
