Greeting Cards

Father's Day Card Templates

Most Father's Day cards fail in the same way: they are jokes about golf sent to men who do not play golf. These four are plain enough to carry whatever you actually want to say.

Slate Plain and Bold Lines are the driest of the four. Deep Green and Classic Deco add a little more, and suit a card that is also marking a birthday or a retirement.

The Mother's Day designs use the same layouts and fields, so a household sending both can keep them consistent and only change the wording.

Common questions

What do you write in a Father's Day card?

Something he did rather than something he is. A specific memory - a drive, a repair, a time he turned up - reads truer than a list of qualities.

What if the tone between you is not sentimental?

Then do not force it. A short, dry line in his own register will mean more than warmth he would find awkward. Bold Lines is built for exactly that.

Can these be used for a grandfather or stepfather?

Yes - the greeting line is editable, so change it to whatever he is actually called in your family.
