Many are familiar with this problem - a holiday for the husband's parents. And if in order to please the mother-in-law, the daughters-in-law usually move mountains and show real miracles of courage, balancing act and culinary talent, then the father-in-law is treated much easier and without trepidation. And in vain! Of course, the father-in-law is much more tolerant of the daughter-in-law, but this does not mean that he does not deserve the same diligence on his birthday as the mother-in-law. How can you please him?
Necessary
Birthday cake, salads, greeting card with verses
Instructions
Step 1
If your family is still very young, and you have not studied the tastes and preferences of your spouse's father, you should not worry about this. For a man, it is of great importance what choice his son made, how comfortable, warm and satisfying he is. In other words, all that is required of you is to quietly prove to your beloved father-in-law that his son chose his wife correctly. Of course, you congratulate him on his birthday, but a good daughter-in-law is good because she always remembers the little things. If you live with your husband's parents, be sure to take part in the preparation of the gala dinner. If you come to visit your father-in-law, bring something to the table with you. It is not necessary to work miracles, it is enough to cook some delicious dish that you are good at.
Step 2
If you have children, let them take a direct part in the preparations for the holiday. Ask them to draw something for their grandfather, or learn a congratulatory poem with them. A little girl can help her mother decorate the birthday cake with an inscription and brag to her grandfather that she was directly involved in the cooking process. And the boy may well make a paper boat for his grandfather or a figurine from cones in a labor lesson. By the way, regarding congratulations in verse, if you like such performances, you can prepare a congratulatory speech for your father-in-law, dividing all family members into quatrains. This will not only make the birthday boy smile, but also entertain the children and everyone present.
Step 3
A gift can be given from the whole family, or you can give it from each separately. Of course, kids cannot chip in to buy something of value, but they can give their grandfather their own drawings or poems and sign a common card. It doesn't really matter what exactly you are giving, it is important that the gift is from the bottom of your heart and does not look like an empty trinket. The father-in-law should be pleased not only from the fact that he will receive a gift from you, but he realizing that this present was really chosen, thought about it.
