Father’s Day is almost upon us, and now is the perfect time to start thinking about the holiday — a day to honor and celebrate the many fathers in our lives. Whether that’s your father, your children’s father, or a father figure you’ve always looked up to, you can make their day special by writing them hilarious or heartfelt Father’s Day cards.

While Mother’s Day was established in the 1860s, Father’s Day wasn’t formally founded until 1910. The celebration is meant to honor all fathers and recognize the importance of fatherhood. Father’s Day is now a staple in our yearly calendar alongside events like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and New Year’s. While the date changes every year, it’s always held on the third Sunday of June in the United States. So, mark your calendars!

To help you make the most of the holiday this year, here’s our guide on what to write in your Father’s Day cards, as well as some ideas to help you celebrate with loved ones.
