Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. In early times, wearing flowers was a traditional way of celebrating Father's Day. Mrs. Dodd favored the red rose to honor a father still living, while a white flower honored a deceased dad. J.H. Berringer, who also held Father's Day celebrations in Washington State as early as 1912, chose a white lilac as the Father's Day Flower. To honor our fathers people write poems, make speeches, have religious ceremonies, picnic, barbeque, and generally have a good time. This Father's Day create your own family traditions. Give Dad a gift he can use all year long on like a tie or a personalized picture frame. Father's Day party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete a Father's Day Party Theme. Party decorations using like glow jewelry, stickers. Father's Day loot bags tucked into baskets or a sports pinata can be a centerpiece and double as party prizes.
