Independence Foil Pressed Guest Towel features many summertime motifs that are perfect for a Father’s Day BBQ.

Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday, June 21. Did you know that the first Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington? And that the holiday became an official U.S. holiday only in 1972? Put in this context, Father’s Day is a relatively recent tradition. Given its place in the calendar, squarely in summertime, it’s only natural that Father’s Day is often celebrated with a backyard BBQ. And that has us licking our lips in anticipation. Whether your dad loves ribs, steaks, brats or tofu burgers, here are some ideas to help you create an extra special Father’s Day BBQ.

Menu ideas

Cooking Light recipes for Father’s Day  We love this menu from Cooking Light magazine. Steak, jalepeno poppers, potatoes and grilled corn. What’s not to love?

Decor/Theme

Is Dad a sports fan? Use his favorite sports or racing team’s colors to be the basis for the floral centerpiece and table cloth. Or maybe he’s a devoted alum of his college or high school; use those colors. For both these ideas, you can use simple white plates and clear glasses, and let the sports or school colors be the accents.

Napkins

Expression Foil Pressed Napkin  Proudly display your special message on the Expression Napkins. Names, dates, special occasions or sentiments stand out when pressed in one of 15 gorgeous foil colors on your choice of 27 high quality, three-ply papers.

Father’s Day Gift Idea

Notable Monogram Oversized Note Our Notable Monogram Note offers a choice of many exclusive monograms. Raised ink. Folded note. Double-thick paper. Choice of white or ivory paper. Comes with 50 Pinnacle pointed-flap envelopes. Opt for the border, 100% cotton paper, hand-inserted lining or return address to create a luxurious gift.

The Roman origins of the “June bride” isn’t as romantic as it sounds, but in modern times we have infused meaning and magic into the idea.

June, prime wedding time, is just around the corner. History says that the tradition of June weddings came from ancient Roman culture. Juno, Jupiter’s wife and the goddess of marriage, was officially celebrated on June 1, so many families chose this month to plan weddings.  Luckily, today in the U.S. June is filled with the flowers and scents of summer. It’s the time of year when Nature blossoms green, young and full of life.

Some of our other wedding traditions hark from ancient Roman times, as well. For example, these were also the days when grooms began carrying the bride over the threshold to protect her from “evil spirits.” Furthermore, grooms began standing on the right hand side of the bride so he could easily access his sword in case marauding rivals came to steal the bride. And, um, fathers “escorted” their daughters down the aisle because the patriarchs generally used the marriage to pay off debts or advance their careers.

Happily, we’ve given these traditions a more romantic spin. Fast-forward to 2015, and love now fuels our marriages.

Celebrate that love with the perfect gift. Married couples feel a thrill when they Show off their new love. Check out our wide selection of personalized gift ideas, including notes, cards, tablets, notepads and napkins.
