Funny Father’s Day Card Ideas to Remind Him of His Greatest Gift (You)

Your dad gave you the gift of sharp wit and snappy puns, but you bless him every single day with your presence (and presents). And you’re not about to let him forget it. If you’re looking for some one-liners to remind your number one dad that you’ll always be his number one gift, try some of these funny Father’s Day card ideas: 

1. Dad, for your Father’s Day present this year, I am gifting you 24 hours without me screaming, “Daaaaaaaaaadddddddddddd!!!” I can’t promise my siblings will do the same.

2. Dad, I wanted to give you a gift that would make your life easier. So I bought mom a dozen roses, and told the florist to write your name on it. Happy Father’s Day!

3. I was going to wrap up the perfect Father’s Day gift, then realized you already have me. So… you’re welcome.

4. My teacher gave us class time to make our dads a DIY Father’s Day gift. I didn’t think you’d want another coffee mug, so I sent calendar invites to your Gmail for Valentine’s Day, Mom’s birthday, Mother’s Day, and your anniversary. You can thank me later.

5. Dad, I had the perfect gift idea for you for Father’s Day. But technically… you bought it. You know, you’ve always had the greatest taste.

6. I wanted to give you a great gift you could enjoy year-round. I emailed you links to a Valentine’s Day card, a birthday card, and an anniversary card I think Mom would love. I know, I’m your favorite child — you don’t have to remind me.

7. Dad, a wise person once said that it’s not about the gift itself — it’s the thought that counts. So I want you to know, I’m thinking of you today. Your gift ends there.

8. I know your dream day is to drink a few beers, sleep, and embarrass your kids. Let me tell you, you have that last one covered.

9. You’re one step closer to your 60th birthday. One celebration at a time!

Funny Card Ideas That Remind Him That, Yes, You Are Related

He may try to deny any shared relationship with you, but all of your best quirks came from your dad. And sure, he swore he’d never met you in his life when the principal called your house in high school, but you’ve moved past that. Here are several ways to poke fun at your shared relationship:

10. Dad, I think you’re pretty fabulous. Thank you for sharing your DNA with me.

11. Dad, I will always be your little girl. And by that, I mean your little financial burden.

12. Dad, my siblings are not perfect, and that’s ok. I forgive you.

13. Dad, I used to be grateful that I inherited your sense of humor and stunning good looks. Then I realized I got those from Mom. My love of beer and my unparalleled competitive streak are what I got from you.

14. Honestly, my exquisite charm and stunning good looks are scientific evidence that you’re the best dad ever.

15. Dear Dad, I’m sorry you had to raise my awful siblings. Trust me, I know, they’re the absolute worst.

16. I hope this Father’s Day is as fun as life was before you had to raise my siblings.

17. Remember when my university played your alma mater and you pretended to disown me? You didn’t actually cut me out of the will, did you?

18. I am thoroughly convinced that half my elementary school teachers had no idea I was your son because you repeatedly denied our relationship. May I remind you that all my fine qualities came from you.

19. Dear Dad, I’m sorry that you’re not as fun and cool to be with as Grandad is.

20. I may be trouble now, but I foresee it getting worse in the future. Good luck!

23. They say that the only man a girl can depend on is her dad. I see what you did there — I always knew you were trying to discourage me from dating.

24. Happy Father’s Day to the world’s best farter — excuse me, I mean father.

25. Happy first Father’s Day to the world’s coolest stepdad. I’m honestly impressed you’ve put up with my mom and siblings for an entire year — I tip my hat to you.

28. Dad, I just want you to know that I’ve finally forgiven you for not taking me to Disney World as a child. But what about taking me to Hawaii as an adult?

29. Dad, thank you for everything you’ve ever done for me. Like telling me “yes” when Mom already said “no.”
