Grandparents Day Card Messages For Grandma, Grandpa & More

Grandparents Day falls on September 13 this year, and a card is one of the simplest and most meaningful things you can send. Not because grandparents need grand gestures. They usually do not. They need to feel remembered. They need to know the people they love are thinking of them, and that the years they poured into this family did not go unnoticed.

That is what a Grandparents Day card does when it has the right words in it. It says you stopped. You thought about them specifically. And you wrote something down.

These Grandparents Day card messages are sorted by tone and by relationship so you can find exactly what fits. Whether you are a grandchild writing to Grandma and Grandpa, a parent writing on behalf of young kids, or someone who wants to say something deeper than a standard greeting, there is a message here for you.
