In the Northern Hemisphere, the hottest days of the year are usually between mid-July to mid-September. During this time of year, there is a feeling it will never cool off when the thermometer rises and sticky days are never ending. This time of year is coined “Dog Days of Summer” and is the perfect time for a party.
What do you serve to celebrate the Dog Days of Summer? Grilled hot dogs of course on a toasted bun! Hot dogs are coming back in style, popping up on gourmet menus and many trendy food trucks. Feature them at your next party with a toppings bar and let your guests go wild creating their unique concoctions.
Ranch Events Consultant Megan Diggins received a “Thank You” email from her client for a wonderful Celebration of Life she planned and coordinated. The email read:
“Good morning, Megan.
I just wanted to reach out and tell you how well my dad’s celebration of life went on August 26th at Marina Village.
The staff were all just great. Special kudos to Luis and Alma, but everyone was so helpful and kind. Alma let me put some decorative items on her bar, and ditto Luis on the dessert table. And Luis packed up so much food for me to bring home.
Ranch Events would like to share some unique ideas on how to celebrate dads on the “big day”, for a son’s or daughter’s wedding. Many dads are one of the most significant role models most children will have in their life, and a wedding is an important day for fathers. Here are some suggestions to make your dad feel special:
Thank your dad before you walk down the aisle. For a father, walking his daughter down the aisle can be both the scariest and happiest moments of his life. Before you make your big appearance, thank him and make sure he knows how important he is to you. If you have time in the morning, you can even do a “first look”. For the sons a conversation just between you and your father thanking him for molding you, guiding you and making you the man you are today. A hand-written letter explaining how much he means to you is also a wonderful way in showing dads what an important role he has played throughout your life.
