How to make Father’s Day all about him! Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider, and confidante. Father’s Day should be centred around his interests. Here are some ideas to honour Dad on his special day: Sports Sunday: Whether he enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport, chances are there is a TV broadcast on that you can watch together or even play together. Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favourite foods and cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet. R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Plan a Father’s Day celebration with your dad in mind. Cater to his favourite activities and opt for entertainment that he will enjoy. Impromptu party: Some fathers like to be the centre of attention and a surprise party thrown in his honour, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father’s Day and let the Dads be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbeque, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function. LOCATED INSIDE ST.
