Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to send a New Year card to my dad?
Aim to send it between December 26th and 30th so it arrives just before New Year's Day. This gives him time to receive and appreciate your thoughtful message as the new year begins.
Should I handwrite the message or print it?
Handwriting adds a personal touch that dads often appreciate. Even if you print the card, adding a brief handwritten note at the bottom makes it extra special and shows you took the time to personalize it.
What if my dad isn't sentimental?
Choose a wish that focuses on practical blessings or humor instead of deep emotion. Dads who aren't openly sentimental often appreciate wishes about hobbies, relaxation, or lighthearted observations about their daily routines.
