Father's Day in the UK falls on 21 June, in Poland - as always - on 23 June. If your dad lives in the British Isles, you have a double occasion (and a double excuse if you forget one of the dates). Here are 50 ready-made wishes - copy freely, Dad does not need to know you had a cheat sheet.
Funny Father's Day wishes
- Dad, thank you for half of my genes. The better half I obviously got from you - at least that is what you claim, and I am not arguing. All the best!
- Dad, you are like Google - you know everything. Only you answer more slowly and always add a lecture about how it was in your day. I love you anyway!
- Dad, for Father's Day I wish you... that your hair goes grey only from good ideas, not from my antics!
- All the best to a man who can fix absolutely anything... except my alarm clock in the morning.
- You are the only cash machine in the world that can also tell a bad joke (a “dad joke”). All the best!
- Dad, on your special day I finally allow you to fall asleep on the sofa with the remote in your hand, fully legally!
- I admire you for the fact that, despite the passing years, you still believe that old cabinet in the garage will “come in handy” one day.
- Thank you for teaching me to use a power drill and filler. Thanks to you I know that a tradesman from an advert would have charged me a fortune.
- Congratulations, Dad! You receive the honourable title of “Most Patient Driver” who survived teaching his own child to drive!
- Happy Father's Day to my favourite home mechanic, plumber and electrician in one!

- No matter how grown up I get, in your eyes I always want to remain that little daddy's girl. I love you!

- For Daddy, who has the best ideas for games, throws me the highest and roars the loudest like a dinosaur!

- For Father's Day I promise to eat my whole dinner today and tidy the blocks off the carpet (at least most of them!).
Wishes in English (Father's Day)
They will come in handy when the card is going to a British father-in-law or when the children write in both languages:
- Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the world! Thank you for everything you do - we love you more than words can say.
- Dad, you taught me everything I know - except how to thank you properly. This card will have to do. Happy Father's Day!
- To the man who taught me how to ride a bike, fix things and laugh at myself - Happy Father's Day. You're a legend.
Wishes + a gift = the full set
The best wishes work twice as well when you add to the card something Dad will wear with pride. In our collection of t-shirts for Dad you will find the designs “Best Dad In The World” and “One Of A Kind Father”, for a biker dad - something on two wheels, and for a dad who is a grandad - t-shirts for grandad. We print locally in the UK, shipping is free - you will make it before 21 and 23 June.
