Short Father’s Day wishes for Dad
These messages are short enough for a text, a WhatsApp status or the inside of a card.
- Dad, you have always been there for me through thick and thin. There is no greater love than that. No matter where life takes me, I will always remember you with love.
- Happy Father’s Day, dear Dad! Whenever Mom said no, I used to ask you for a big yes. You were always there when I needed you the most. Your love was never-ending, and I love you so very much.
- A father’s love is like the sky. You cannot touch it, but it is there all the time. Happy Father’s Day!
- Praying for you to have a blessed Father’s Day! May God forever bless you, keep you and lead you. Happy Father’s Day!
- You deserve an awesome Father’s Day because you are an awesome father! Happy Father’s Day to you!
- Because you are so special, kind and, most importantly, LOVED! Happy Father’s Day!
- Everyone is jealous of you, Dad. Not everyone can be a super-dad. I am so glad you are mine! Happy Father’s Day!
Father’s Day wishes from a daughter
- You will always be my “Daddy”, no matter how old I get or how much time and distance keep us apart. I will always be Daddy’s girl! Happy Father’s Day!
- You are a gem. You are a jewel. You are a precious treasure. You are my wonderful dad and I will love you forever! Happy Father’s Day from your daughter!
Father’s Day wish from a wife
- What in the world could I change about a man who loves his family, works hard and treats his wife with love and respect? Absolutely nothing! Happy Father’s Day, Mr Wonderful!
How to send these wishes
- Pick a wish that sounds like you. If your dad likes humour, the “super-dad” line works; if he is religious, the blessing works better.
- Add his name or a nickname and one line of your own, such as a lesson he taught you.
- Copy and paste carefully. An earlier version of this page used look-alike Greek letters inside the English words, which can display oddly or break search on some phones. The messages above have been retyped in plain English letters, so they paste cleanly into WhatsApp and SMS.
- Send it early in the day on the third Sunday of June, or put it in a card with a small gift.
