These Birthday Wishes for Your Dad Will Ensure Your Spot as the Favorite Child
If you're reading this, that means it's probably time to wish your dad a happy birthday! He may not remember the names of your friends (like, ever), but he's the one who taught you everything from the art of corny jokes to when to get that oil change (btw, when's the last time you got that checked?) — and he deserves some celebrating.
If you find it nearly impossible to find the perfect gift for dad, trust me, you're not alone. Besides giving the absolute best present (ahem, your existence), nothing says "ILY" quite like a special birthday wish — whether you're writing it in his birthday card or posting it on your Instagram. But no matter how much you love the man who taught you how to ride a bike and yelled at you at the kitchen table while doing math homework (IYKYK), finding the right words can be kinda hard.
Luckily, all you have to do is get the photo and/or card, and I've got the special birthday message covered. Whether you want to one-up his dad jokes or write something heartfelt and sweet, the birthday captions and wishes below ensure you'll def be the favorite child. Oh, and if you still need a last-minute gift for dad to go along, we've got you covered there too.
