The History Of Fathers Day
Fathers Day did not become a actual holiday until the year 1924. Even then it still did not have a designated date on which it was to be celebrated until forty two years later. It was created to honor fathers and celebrate the male's relationship in parenting.
Theme Combining
A great way to spice up the party would be to take a couple different themes and combine them. The themes that are being used will all depend on what dad is into. There are so many different themes that can be used for a Fathers Day party. Some of them would be sports, fishing, nascar, handyman, golfing and a BBQ.
Party Favors
Depending what kind of theme is being used for the party depends on what kind of party favors should be used. When using two themes use two different kinds of party favors. Candy bars that say Happy Fathers Day on the wrapper would be great party favor for a BBQ. However, if the theme is sports little miniature footballs or baseballs can be used.
Party Supplies
Before throwing a party the host needs to make sure that he or she has all the needed supplies. Plates, cups and silverware are not the only supplies that will be needed. There are a few other supplies that will be needed for the party. Like balloons, streamers, decorations and whatever is being used as the party favors.
Party Decorations
If the party decorations are for a BBQ a great way to dress up the the party would be to place a red and white checkered table cloth over some round table. Then take a black or blue hanker chief and lay it out so that it is centered on the table cloth. Make sure that the plates being used match the table cloth and that the hanker chief the silverware are wrapped in match the one centered on the table. Finally take two or three beer mug candles and place them as the centerpiece.
Party Signs
Want to get dad teary eyed? Then have the kids help make the Fathers Day signs or mom can make the signs and the kids can color them in. It would also be neat to write something like Happy Fathers Day, Daddy.
Party Invitations
Most people that throw a Father's Day party do not send out an invitation. Although it might be good to make dad an invitation. That way it makes him feel special. Not only did he get an invitation to his own party but he got one you made for him.
Party Menus
There is no set menu for Fathers Day. The reason for this is simply that its a Fathers Day party. Therefor the menu is to based on all of Dad's favorite foods. If dad's favorite food are steak, baked beans and ice cream then that's what should be on the menu.
Party Games
Since this party is all about dad why not play a game the "say about dad game". The way you play this game is by having each kid tell about dad and what he does or likes.
Educational Activities
A great way to teach the kids about fathers day would be to print out some fathers day awards and certificates that the kids can fill in and color.
Party Music
Two really good songs to play at a Fathers Day party would be Seen' My Father In Me by Paul Overstreet and Thank You for Being My Dad by Jon Barker.
Party Colors
For a great Father's Day party make sure that dad's favorite colors are the main colors that are used for the party. As you start planning for father’s day make sure you have a party favor in mind to give the guests as appreciation. You can have engraved bracelets, necklaces or key chains. As decorations you can have imprinted balloons that say “#1 dad” or “Happy Father’s day”. Get creative and have many party supplies.
