It’s not a secret that fathers are certainly the family’s pillar of strength and the source of unwavering love and support.
He is the one who conveys essential life lessons to his children, teaching them the value of integrity, diligence, and tenacity. He is also the one responsible for molding their personalities under his direction and inspiring them to pursue their goals whilst supporting their mother.

First of all, why is the role of a father very important?

Fathers are incredibly important in influencing the lives of their children. They offer not only material assistance but also emotional security and a solid framework for personal development. Fathers often are the ones teaching their children practical life skills – how to fix things, create things and do things.

This role when done in a supportive manner, goes a long way to helping their children develop self-esteem and a sense of capability which assists them to develop character and self-confidence.

When is it going to happen?

Father’s Day takes place this year on the first Sunday in September.

What, as a family, will you do different this year for the fathers within your family circle or community. Community is the backbone of our society, more so today when we are all so busy, these occasions offer us time to bond & connect with others around us who are not in our family but render us valuable support in times of trouble.

Types of Event

These are not what you would like but what he would like and enjoy, enrolling the children in this decision helps to bond the family as well…..

Planning

Decide on a location that will fit the occasion. Take an outdoor party, for instance. A fun idea would be to prepare a picnic. To make it memorable, finding a location that offers a breathtaking view or in an area that supports a hobby that the men enjoy.

Set a budget as well for the occasion. This will assist you in choosing the kinds of foods, drinks, decorations, and other components you can use. It doesn’t need to be extravagant or expensive but well thought out with the men’s interests and likes taken into account. Be resourceful and make the best out of the things you can and have! The ladies together can come up with some fun and engaging ideas for sure.

Will you be self-catering or will you be outsourcing the catering ie a spit pig roast.

Digital invitations, social media events, and conventional paper invitations are all options, but if possible excluding the fathers from receiving the invites would be a very thrilling surprise too! Single dads of course would have to be included and I am sure would feel very much appreciated – they are the unsung heros in our community and are single mums.

Decorate the space to fit the theme or the event to improve the ambiance. Flowers, candles, and fairy lights can all help to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere to make our fathers feel very important on that special day,

Make plans for your guests’ entertainment, such as games, music, or a movie showing — compiling memorable photos and video recordings will surely touch our father’s heart! This will increase the event’s enjoyment and keep everyone interested.

It is also important to relax and take pleasure in our father’s company throughout the celebration. Participate in discussions, take part in activities, and make sure everyone is having a good time – this is the secret of being a good host and in these events everyone needs to pull their weight to make it a success.

And lastly, don’t forget to thank the guests, the ones who organized the event, and of course, the star of the occasion — the loved fathers.

Profoundly thank and express your gratitude for their contribution to the life of the family and also by reminiscing the most impactful memories you have had with them. There have been some lovely songs and poems written about fatherhood as well that can say what we sometimes find hard to say.
