A Father Daughter dance is always a special occasion, and Valentine’s Day is a perfect holiday to organize a special dance between fathers and their daughters. It may seem like a difficult party to organize, but it can actually be quite simple. Think about an area in your home that can accommodate a dance floor of several sets of fathers and daughters, perhaps a basement area or a large living room area. If you have throw rugs, you may want to roll them up for the party and let them dance directly on the hard floor. If this is a group organizing this party, take a look at the different homes to choose the best area to host your dance.
Make a traditional Valentine invitation. Pink and red doilies cut into heart shapes with all of the dance details included on one side of a heart-shaped white card stock – which can be placed on the doily heart would be perfect. Make sure to address your invitations to the father and daughter alike. Is this a dress up party or can people come as they like. Given the theme, specifying dress attire would also be appropriate.
