Honor dads the French way this Father’s Day. Spend the third Sunday of June enjoying a family meal and give Papa a heartfelt, thoughtful card using the "language of love" to express how you feel. Make your father, grandfather, uncle, or other special father-figure a homemade French greeting card.
Gather some scrapbooking or art supplies and get creative making a summer-themed card:
Consider scrapbooking photos of Dad with the kids or grandkids, painting handprints and thumbprints, or making a collage of meaningful mementos. Personal touches will make this card a keeper.
Choose from these thoughtful French messages for your card:
