Tips to put the best Father’s Day messages to use.

Will writing your message in a card tell Dad everything you really want to say?

To put these Father’s Day messages to use, try these tips to make your message even more memorable:

  • Use Father’s Day messages as prompts to make your message personal. You start by writing the message, then continue the train of thought. What does it inspire you to say?
  • Think outside the box for the delivery of your Father’s Day message. You can still give him a card, but maybe a collage would be a great keepsake, too. You can even make him a custom poster, send him love in social media graphics, or hang a banner at the office.
  • One final grammar note for anyone who’s curious: Dad is capitalized when it replaces your dad’s name. For example, you say hey, Dad instead of hey, Harry. In every other case (like you’re the best dad, or to my dad,), it’s lower-case.

The best way to send the most touching Father’s Day message is to write one yourself, and you can use this list of ideas to inspire you.
