What to Write in a Father's Day Card New Zealand?

When the first weekend in September approaches in New Zealand and Australia, you might find yourself wondering what exactly to write in your Father's Day card in New Zealand?" It can be tough to find the exact right words to express your feelings for your Father on his special day.


Trying to encapsulate years of gratitude, laughter, and countless memories into a tiny card can be a daunting task. Let's explore a few options so that you can get your message right.

One good option is to reminisce on the good times that you've had in the past that you enjoyed in the past with your father. Perhaps he loved to take the family for great camping and fishing trips. A simple thank for a particularly good time that you had growing up is always a nice sentiment to express and will make your Father smile that you remember them as well.

You can acknowledge the effort he has put in to helping you in the past: Maybe he's helped you move house or offered invaluable advice and guidance through a rough time in your life. A thank you for his help and guidance over the years is a great way to express your gratitude for all that he does for you in your Father's Day card.

Using humour to express how you feel in a funny Fathers Day card is a great way to show that you have a loving relationship with your Father. You can include a personal joke that you have between the two of you.

Make sure to include a great gift for Father as well to show him how much you appreciate him.

Here's a few fathers day card message examples to help you include the perfect personalised message in your Father's day card from heartfelt to humorous:
