Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to send a New Year card to my dad?
Aim to have it arrive between December 27th and 30th. It's early enough to feel thoughtful but avoids getting lost in Christmas mail or arriving after the holiday buzz has faded.
Should I handwrite the card or is a text/email okay for a funny wish?
A handwritten card is always a winner for dads—it shows extra effort. But if you're long-distance or know he prefers digital, a personalized text or email with one of these wishes works great. The humor is what matters most!
My dad isn't big on sentimental stuff. Will a funny card still be appreciated?
Absolutely! A funny card is perfect for less-sentimental dads. It shows you're thinking of him and want to share a laugh, which can feel more genuine and comfortable than overly mushy greetings. It's a connection on his wavelength.
