What would dad do if he received a custom greeting from his favorite athlete, comedian, or reality TV star? You can find out by requesting a Cameo. Opt for a pre-recorded Father’s Day message from one of dad’s favorite stars or arrange a short 1:1 video call that also includes a screenshot of the momentous exchange. Either way, a Cameo will be a Father’s Day gift dad will never forget.
