Inside: Hilarious dad themed party ideas for Father’s day, birthdays or just because.
Dads are funny, and I’m not talking about their cheesy jokes. They’re funny objectively. There are so many things that Dad do universally that they’ve become like this kind of inside joke, and I am living for it.
One of the best ways to celebrate our hilarious dads is by throwing them a party. But not just any party…a dad-themed party! If you are having a hard time picturing this, don’t worry. I am going to walk you through it from decor to snacks, to the outfits.
Throwing a dad-themed party is pretty simple: Deck the house with the things they love. There are a few things that stereotypical dads just go crazy for that act as the perfect jumping-off point. Things like football, beer, golf, and BBQs to name a few. So below I have included some ideas that fit under all of those themes!
As for the outfits(I know you locked in on that one earlier), this is one of the best parts. On the invite, let everyone know that they have to dress up like a Dad to get into the party.
Then when your dad gets there, he’ll be looking out into a sea of look-alikes. It’s hilarious and a great way to bring people together.
So take a look through these awesome ideas, and have your notebook ready. Because you are gonna want to write this down!
