Celebrate Dad with a Festive Dinner

June 15, 2015 0 Comments

Father's Day is quickly approaching, and what better way to celebrate than with a home-cooked, festive dinner? You can add your own personal touch while avoiding the hectic, crowded restaurants on this busy holiday. And Dad will surely appreciate the effort!

This isn't just any old dinner. It should be something special, so it helps if it's reminiscent of a theme. Because it's summer, why not go with a barbecue and beer-filled meal? Below we've put together a guide with our favorite recipes and decor ideas inspired by dads.

You can set up a buffet table so it feels like a special event. This will also give you the perfect opportunity to decorate! Hang a "Happy Father's Day" banner, and scatter decorative trinkets across the table featuring his favorite things. Using Dad's favorite colors, color coordinate a tablecloth, napkins and more with your banner and other decor. Display old family photographs that are sure to make him smile!

 If you need help finding some themed decor, there are lots of online resources with free Father's Day printables, which you can use for making your banner, Father's Day beer labels, cards, flags and more (we've included some links to resources below). You don't have to go over the top — just pick a few items you'd like to focus on. You can do all this while keeping your decor tasteful and simple.

Happy Father's Day, from our home to yours!
