Short And Sweet Father’s Day Texts Messages To Show You Care

It always seems to sneak up on us, doesn’t it? One minute it’s spring, the next you’re realising Father’s Day is just around the corner (yep, mark your calendar for Sunday 15th June!). It’s the perfect excuse—if we ever needed one—to shout about just how amazing your Dad is. Whether he’s the king of dad jokes, the go-to for life advice, the Gwan-sik of your version of Netflix's When Life Gives You Tangerines or just always there with a cuppa when you need it, he deserves all the love.

And while you might already be thinking about a great gift or planning a fun day out, don’t underestimate the power of a simple, thoughtful message. Sometimes, a sweet text is all it takes to put a smile on his face and remind him he’s appreciated. To make it easy, we’ve rounded up a few short and sweet messages you can send straight to his inbox—or scribble inside a card if you’re feeling fancy.
