Is Father’s Day on the same date in Ireland and the UK?
Yes. Father’s Day is celebrated on the same date in Ireland and the UK.
The United States, Canada and several other countries also use the third Sunday in June. Families spread across these countries can usually organise one gift for the same weekend.
When should I order a printed Father’s Day gift?
Leave at least three weeks for a printed gift to be produced and delivered.
For Father’s Day on 20 June 2027, place the order by Sunday 30 May at the latest.
For a gift involving several people, use this schedule:
| When | What to do |
|---|---|
| By 9 May | Start the gift and invite everyone |
| By 23 May | Collect the recordings, messages and photos |
| By 30 May | Place the print order |
| 20 June | Father’s Day |
This gives contributors two weeks to add their part and leaves the minimum three-week print window.
A Father’s Day gift for a dad who does not want anything
Some dads give the same answer every year: “Don’t get me anything.”
You can still mark the day without buying another item based on golf, gardening or drink.
Ask his family and friends to record a story about him. Give each person one question to answer and let them speak for a minute or two.
Questions that tend to produce good stories include:
- What is the funniest thing Dad has done?
- What did he teach you?
- What expression of his do you now use yourself?
- When did he help you out?
- What was he like when he was younger?
- What family trip do you still talk about?
- What photograph of you together would you choose?
- What story should his grandchildren know?
Specific questions are easier to answer than “Say something nice about Dad.” They also give you a better mix of contributions.
Include people from different parts of his life
The family will know one version of him. His oldest friend may know another.
You could invite:
- Children and grandchildren
- Brothers and sisters
- Nieces and nephews
- Old school friends
- Former colleagues
- Neighbours
- Friends from clubs or teams
They do not need to meet or coordinate. Everyone uses the same link and contributes from their own phone.
How to organise the recordings and photos
Choose one person to start the gift and keep an eye on who has replied.
With Chorus, each contributor opens a link, records their message and adds photographs. There is no app to install and no account to set up.
Send the invitation in early May, then check the list after a week. Contact missing people directly instead of repeatedly messaging the whole family group.
You could write:
We’re putting together a Father’s Day book for Dad with recordings and photos from family and friends. Could you tell one story about him and add a photo by 23 May? You can do it from your phone using this link.
That tells people what to send, how to send it and when it is due.
What Dad receives
Every contributor has a page containing their photograph and written message. The recording plays from that page, so Dad can listen while he looks through the book.
The printed keepsake comes as one hardcover copy, posted to you. Order by 30 May 2027 to leave at least three weeks before Father’s Day.
When is Father’s Day 2027 in Ireland and the UK?

Is Father’s Day on the same date in Ireland and the UK?

When should I order a printed Father’s Day gift?
Leave at least three weeks for production and delivery, so order by Sunday 30 May 2027. If several people are contributing, start around 9 May and collect everything by 23 May.
What do you get a dad who says he does not want anything?
Ask his family and friends to record a story about him instead of buying another object. Give each person one specific question and a minute or two to answer it.
