Here are some card styles that prove thoughtfulness never goes out of style.
Kid-Made Cards for Dad
There’s something extra special about a card made by little hands. Whether it’s a wobbly drawing, a funny message, or a heartfelt “I love you Daddy,” kid-made cards become keepsakes that dads treasure for years.
Creating personalised cards together is also a lovely way to make memories as a family. From choosing favourite photos to adding colourful stickers, children can really make the card feel uniquely theirs:
Add your favourite family photos
Decorate with fun stickers and designs
Include your child’s own handwriting or drawings
Personalise messages inside the card
Create something meaningful from the comfort of home
One of the sweetest touches is uploading your child’s handwritten message or artwork directly into the design. Whether it’s a simple “Best Dad Ever!” or a full-page masterpiece in crayon, those personal details are what make the card unforgettable.
Minimalist Masculine Cards
A minimalist masculine card uses clean lines, neutral colour palettes, and crisp typography to deliver a design that’s quietly confident and refined. The 2026 trend is all about “less is more”: think geometric patterns, copper or silver accents, and simple wording that speaks volumes.
Minimalist designs are ideal for every type of dad — whether he’s into modern art, architecture, or just appreciates a polished look. Add a handwritten message or photo inside to make it uniquely personal while keeping the sleek style intact. You’ll find a range of minimalist designs at Moonpig, easy to tailor with your own finishing touches — including versions for Dad and Grandad.
Photo and Memory Collage Cards
Few things beat the sentiment of a photo collage card. These personalised keepsakes let you upload multiple photos and captions, turning everyday moments into something Dad can treasure for years.
They’re perfect for:
Celebrating milestones like a first Father’s Day or graduation.
Reminiscing with old family photos.
Sharing funny candid snapshots that capture Dad’s true personality.
Honouring Grandad with treasured throwback family photos.
While photo collage cards can cost slightly more, their emotional value is unmatched. They double as mementoes he’ll proudly display long after the day itself — and with Moonpig, you can design one in minutes for Dad or Grandad.
Themed Pop-culture Cards
Pop-culture Father’s Day cards have truly taken off in 2026, celebrating the fandoms and hobbies that make every dad unique. A pop-culture card draws on films, games, music, sports or popular TV references — and this year’s designs are brimming with personality.
Top trending themes include:
Star Wars – “Best Father of the Galaxy” designs remain a firm favourite.
Retro gaming – pixel art and nostalgic console nods.
Classic car culture – perfect for driving enthusiasts.
Camping and outdoors – rugged, adventurous aesthetics.
Music lovers – from rock legends to vinyl-inspired cards.
Choosing a card that matches Dad’s real interests adds instant charm and a touch of nostalgia to your message. Many styles also come in Grandad-friendly versions, and Moonpig personalisation lets you swap names and captions so it’s spot-on for either Dad or Grandad.
Nature-inspired and Neutral Floral Cards
For 2026, nature-inspired Father’s Day cards are flourishing. These designs feature subtle botanical motifs — foliage, wreaths, or leaf clusters — in calm, neutral tones like olive, brown, or muted grey.
They’re ideal for dads who appreciate natural aesthetics or love the outdoors — and equally fitting for grandads who find joy in the garden. Beyond looks, these cards evoke warmth and grounding — reflecting Dad’s nurturing, dependable nature without appearing overly floral.
