It's a given for the kids to send Dad a sweet Father's Day message and maybe even a thoughtful Father's Day gift. But what might not be expected, yet undoubtedly appreciated, is a heartfelt message from his sweetheart! After all, you're not just his partner and best friend, but his constant companion through the journey of parenthood. Letting him know you recognize and appreciate him will mean the world to him.
Like most dads, Ree Drummond's husband, Ladd, is a man of simple wants and needs. "He honestly would rather have a plate of delicious food than any material possession in the world," she says. But whether you're ordering a gift basket or planning a special Father's Day BBQ just for him, a heartfelt Father's Day message to your husband will make his day.
If your brain is a bit fried after helping the kids come up with their wishes or family quotes, this list will offer inspiration for yours. There are even a few funny dad jokes to match his... unique sense of humor! So, whether you've been married with kiddos as long as Ree and Ladd or are celebrating his first Father's Day like Alex and Mauricio, keep reading for so many sweet love messages that come straight from the heart.
