Because Father's Day is a Family Day | Fathers Day Gifts from GettingPersonal.co.uk

2 June 2009

Father's Day is a time when the whole family can get involved and make your dad feel extra special. It's perfect when there are several generations around because while you celebrate everything that your father has done for you over the years, he can in-turn pay thanks to his father too!

You might find that your cousins want to celebrate Fathers Day for your uncle, or that your brother has some kids too who want to thank him. By getting together you can celebrate the hard work of all of these dads at once. A family gathering could also make the day more memorable so why not throw your dad a Father's Day party? Here are just a few of our favourite Father's Day party ideas.

Host a BBQ

Because Father's Day is in the Summer time it is just perfect for a barbeque, nothing will probably make your dad happier than getting a good fire going and grilling some food. Men tend to love barbeques anyway, there is just something primal and natural about cooking and eating in the great outdoors. Even if that is just the back garden of your semi-detached!

Another benefit to hosting a BBQ is that you can invite as many people as you like to come along, including some of your dad's friends and you can all sit outside together, drinking and enjoying the sun. It doesn't need to cost a lot because you can ask guests to bring wine and a bit of food with them to contribute to the atmosphere.

Have a House Party

A house party is a good way to celebrate Fathers Day because it is also inexpensive and you can let your dad DJ for the evening; playing his favourite music, eating his favourite foods and having a boogie. It's embarrassing when dads dance at weddings but we have it on good authority that when they dance on Father's Day it's much better.

If you don't believe us you will just have to throw a dancing dad house party to find out, won't you?

Get a Pub Meal Together

For sophisticated fathers nothing beats a Father's Day spent in a good old fashioned pub. You can get in some food and some beers and watch the footie, have a game of pool or even sit outside in the sunshine. There are also plenty of pubs situated close to canals and areas with interesting wild life. If you're tired of the same old pubs, don't worry. Just do a few quick searches online or grab a copy of the good pub guide and you'll be sure to find a hidden treasure perfect for a Father's Day get together.

Go For A Picnic

We've gone on and on about how Fathers Day is in Summer, so you probably get the picture by now. You could easily go on a picnic somewhere with great scenery with your pa and we don't know of many dads who wouldn't love to do that. Or along with a picnic why not go camping, hiking or nature exploring? It doesn't cost too much money, could help to keep your dad healthy and would surely be a lot of fun.

Father's Day Tips

As well as all the inspiration we've probably just given you, we've got a few hints and tips to make Father's Day even more fun for your dad. Here is our list of the best ways to make him smile, over and over again!

• Keep some elements of the day a surprise, eg. where or what the party will be like or what his presents are

• Get other people involved such as good friends, work mates or family members so you can have fun as a group, this could be any kind of get together

• If you don't have much money, don't write off the celebrations entirely. Just do something cheap and cheerful instead

• Tell him you love him out loud with your mouth and say thanks for all his help throughout the years, as well as giving him a gift or card

• Try to include as many things which you know he likes as you can during the day; what's his favourite food and drink? What music does he like? What are his hobbies? Fill the day with these things and activities he loves

• Don't let him work too hard on anything which you could easily pick up and do yourself, this includes driving, hanging out clothes and doing the washing up!
