There’s a message here for every dad, from the goofballs to the total saps.

It's often easy to wax poetic in a Mother's Day card — after all, you have her job now and know what she's been through. A Father's Day message is a whole different animal, though. With dads, it can be a bit harder to figure out what to say. Is this the guy who gagged through diaper duty when you were an infant or the stepdad who showed up around 6th grade? Is it for your husband who turned into the world's greatest dad or a surprisingly helpful and wonderful gramps? Do you want to be silly or sentimental? Long-winded or short and simple? Even if you find that perfect card at Hallmark or Target, you still need to figure out what to write in a Father's Day card other than your name.

There are other considerations, too. What if you're skipping a card and opting to make your Father's Day message a public tribute on social media? That's what all the kids are doing these days anyway, right? And, well, it's probably better for the environment, so there's that. But whatever your motivation may be for skipping the print card, knowing you have a whole audience of people on social media reading your Father's Day message doesn't exactly make your job easier.

Eliminate some of that "what to write" anxiety by picking from the following list, ranging from funny Father's Day messages to the kind that will bring a tear to Dad's eye. No matter what type of sentiment you're hoping to share, you should find at least one or two options here that strike a chord.
