With Parents’ Day just a few days away, we are sure you must be on your toes planning to celebrate the day to the fullest as a family. Here are some of the best ideas to help you plan the day immaculately. They are budget-friendly and promise loads of fun with your loved ones. Moreover, these ‘dates’ are the perfect way to create good memories together as a family.
Plan a family picnic to celebrate Parents’ Day
You can always plan a picnic to celebrate Parents’ Day, be it at the beach, park, or your backyard. Pack some snacks and games to enjoy the day if you go to the beach. For a backyard picnic, decorate the place to liven it up, plan a simple barbeque, put on some music, play games, and dance together to enjoy the day to the fullest. You can also plan a trip to the water park, especially if you have little ones as a part of the brood.
Enjoy the outdoors with your parents
If you have active parents or someone who loves to spend time outdoors, celebrate the day with them by hiking, cycling, kayaking, or biking. They will love to do these activities with you. However, if your parents are not keen on vigorous activity, you can still take them outdoors to celebrate Parents’ Day. Simply stroll in the park with them, have snacks from a food truck, watch some open theatre, or enjoy a drive-in movie night to spend the day with them.
For parents who are homebodies, cook their favorite meal (or order in), pull out some old photo albums or videos, and take a walk down memory lane with them. While you can enjoy this activity in your home, why not take it outdoors to your backyard? You can also watch some of their favorite classic movies together at a cozy backyard movie theater.
Include your grandparents in your Parents’ Day celebration
Don’t limit the celebration to your parents; you can also celebrate the day with your grandparents. Call them, visit them, or invite them to spend the entire day with you. They want nothing more than spending time with their grandkids. Furthermore, kids will also get to meet their grandparents, so it is a win-win to invite them over. If your grandparents can’t visit you or vice versa, send them thoughtful gifts and get on a video call with them to express your gratitude.
Go on a family road trip to celebrate Parents’ Day
Surprise your parents or partner with a road trip to celebrate Parents’ Day. You can choose any location that is on your to-visit list. Explore the place together as a family and create some fun memories. However, if you want to be more adventurous, surprise your loved ones with a spontaneous road trip. You can keep it as short as possible or turn it into a mini vacation for extended fun.
If the road trip is impossible, explore your city as a tourist. We are sure there must be many places in your city that you and your family have yet to explore.
Bake and cook together with your parents
Want to celebrate Parents’ Day with good food? Then, head to the kitchen with your family to cook and bake together. It might be pretty chaotic compared to having the kitchen to yourself, but that’s the fun part! You will end up making so many dishes while chatting, laughing, and having fun together. To make cooking extra fun, you can also hold a competition between your mom and dad.
Parents’ Day is when you show appreciation for your fantastic mom and dad for guiding and loving you for who you are. So, be it your parents or the mother or father of your child, don’t shy away from celebrating the day with enthusiasm. We can guarantee they will love this kind gesture. In the comment section below, let us know how you plan to celebrate Parents’ Day on the 28th.
