Happy Father’s Day! It’s the day to celebrate the dads in your life and yes – even laugh at their jokes.
But wait… what about the card?
You wouldn’t be alone if it slipped your mind this year, but don’t fear: it’s never too late to send an e-card.
E-cards can be a great last minute solution but let’s face it, they can also be a bit naff. We’re here to help you pick the best of the bunch.
Free Father’s Day e-cards
We get it. You love your dad but you’d rather not pay for an e-card and instead you’d prefer spending that money on a last minute present for him.
One good free website for e-cards is Just Wink.
Just Wink have a massive range of cards, from Father’s Day to birthdays to graduations, so it’s worth bookmarking to return to later.
Once you select your card, you can write your own customised message and select whether you want to email it, or share it via text message or Facebook.
There’s even an option to schedule so you could always schedule next year’s card, if you’re scared of forgetting again.
Another strong contender in the free e-card sphere is Punch Bowl.
They offer a range of well-designed yet simple Father’s Day cards and give you the option of adding an Amazon gift voucher at the checkout so it’s a bit of a one-stop shop.
For a small extra cost, you can also add your own photograph.
Once again you can send your favourite design by email or text message.
Other e-card websites
If you regularly forget to send physical cards or are a digital-first person then why not consider taking out a subscription for an e-card website?
Hallmark have a massive range of ad-free cards which are accessible via a monthly or yearly subscription ($5/£3.97 or $18/£14.29).
Another good website is Jacquie Lawson which offers a range of artistically designed and animated cards for an annual subscription of £11.
Father’s Day GIFs and videos
Another website to try, particularly if you’re looking for something more lighthearted is Jib Jab.
Jib Jab has a range of funny videos and GIFs – complete with songs – which you can customise using your own photographs so it’s perfect for embarrassing your old man.
There’s an app and limited range of videos for free members, however, most of the good videos can be unlocked by taking out an annual membership of $24.00 (£19.06).
If you’re not fussed about customising your message, you could also try Tenor, or GIPHY which both have a selection of specially designed Father’s Day GIFs.
