4. Father's Day Party Games
Blindfold Race
This game requires good communication and team-work skills. Before the game, set up an area for the race with numerous obstacles to go under, over and around (like chairs, small tables, planks etc). Hide a small prize for each team in the area. Then, each child can pair up with their father and place a blindfold on them. Each child must find the prize, and give their father or grandfather verbal directions on how to deal the obstacles to find the prize. The winner will be the first pair to find their prize.
Shaving Race
This Father's Day party game is though messy, but absolute fun. To play this game, children have to pair up with their father or grandfather. Each team would be given a can of whipped cream (which will be used as “shaving cream”) and a popsicle stick. Fathers will sit down, while each child has to spray their father's lower face with “shaving cream” and scrape it off with their popsicle stick. The winner will be the first child to completely “shave” his/her father's face.
Balloon Blast
To start with this game, divide the total number of people into two equal groups - Team Red and Team Blue. See to it that there should be equal number of fathers and kids in both the groups. Say, if Team Red has 5 fathers and 5 kids, then Team Blue should also have 5 fathers and 5 kids. Subsequently, place two sacks of inflated balloons about 30 yards away from the starting line. One of the sacks should contain red balloons and the other blue balloons. On the blow of a whistle, one participant from each team runs to the corresponding sack, takes out a balloon and tries to pop it by sitting on it. Once the balloon bursts, the player runs to the starting line and tags the next player in the group. Jumping on balloons or picking them is not allowed. The team which will burst all the balloons is the winner.
5. Father's Day Party Themes
Men In Black & Ladies In Red
This theme is very famous among the partygoers these days. In this, the males will dress in black and the ladies will look gorgeous in red outfits. Ask your male guests to wear formal trousers, shirts and jackets, instead of tees and sportswear. On the other side, ladies should be told to wear red cocktail dresses and other elegant attires such as sarees. Decorate this party with dim lightening. Slow, romantic music and lots of fine liquors and cocktails will create the mood of the party.
Western Party Theme
For setting Western Party theme, prepare the invitation cards that resemble a Wanted poster, with a photograph of your dad. Send them to your guests at least a week before the party. Ask the guests to dress as cowboys and saloon girls. Secretly arrange a pair of boots, faded denims, a cowboy hat and a bandanna handy for dad.
Bollywood Party Theme
This is the most famous party theme where each guest dresses up like a famous Bollywood actor and actress. Some become Don and some become Devdas by wearing outfit related to the particular character in a popular movie. One may even come as the superheroes in movies. While conducting a Bollywood party theme, make sure that the decoration should be very colorful. You can place posters of famous bollywood films and actors.
Victorian Theme Party
If you are choosing Victorian theme, then make sure that you have a large space for this theme. Try to decorate the room to make it look like a ballroom. If you don't have a large hall, then you can even organize a garden party, with a Victorian theme. Ask your guests to dress like Victorian ladies and lords. Decorate your party with lots of flowers, hearts, cherubs and elaborate laces. Play soothing classical music in the background, to go with the theme.
Hawaiian Party Theme
Along with the invitation, send a request to your guests to dress up in colorful floral printed shirts, surfer shorts and sarongs. Tell them to use ornaments made of flowers, such as, earrings, necklace, bracelet, anklets, etc (all should be made of flowers). The decorations for Hawaiian Party should also be done with flowers.
