Questions

What do you write in a Father's Day card for your stepdad?

A Father's Day card for a stepdad honours the choice he made — to show up, without being asked, and keep at it. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.

How long should a Father's Day message be?

One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
