Last day to mail a Father's Day card
Father's Day is the third Sunday of June, so the send-by date shifts each year. Here's the last day to mail his card so it beats the day, not trails it.
Mail by — 2027
Monday, June 14, 2027
So it arrives safely before Father's Day on Sunday, June 20, 2027. Cutting it close? Wednesday, June 16, 2027is the latest we'd risk. That's 343 days from today.
Planning ahead? For 2028, mail by Monday, June 12, 2028 (Father's Day is Sunday, June 18, 2028).
How we got that date
First-class mail typically takes 3–5 business days, and weekends don't count. We work back 5 business days from Father's Day so the card lands a day or two early — early reads as thoughtful, late reads as forgotten. Around the holidays, mail volume runs heavy, so the buffer matters more than usual.
Timing and message tips
It lands on a Sunday — back the deadline up to the Thursday or Friday before so weekend no-delivery doesn't cost you.
Dads are famously hard to shop for; a specific thank-you in a card often outlasts the gift beside it.
Name one thing he taught you that you actually used this year. Specific beats sentimental.
Mailing to a dad and a grandfather both? Do them together while the addresses are in front of you.
Don't rely on remembering the deadline
Set a free reminder and we'll nudge you before the mailing window closes — with time to spare. Want to skip the post office entirely? we'll print, hand-write, stamp and mail it for you so it arrives on time. From $7.99, postage included.
