Do sons & daughters usually give flowers to their dad for father's day at church?

Answer 1

Readers may remember an old-fashioned tradition at least as old as the 1950s of wearing a red rose honoring a living mother and a white rose for a departed one on Mother's Day, but I don't associate flowers with dads or any church traditions on Father's Day other than perhaps asking all fathers in the congregation to stand.

Apart from the obligatory tie or a pair of socks, no particular gifts are associated with Father's Day either. Instead, I'm sure that he'd appreciate it if you personalized your gift to tell him how much he has meant to you. For example, the family could plan a picnic centered around his favorite dish or buy tickets to see his team play ball.

My dad died nine years ago, and I can best honor his memory by accompanying my mother to church and then taking her to Sunday brunch.

Answer 2

I guess there is no right or wrong. Depends on the family. My father would hate it. He would rather get a bottle of gin. If he went to church (which he doesn't) I would give him a card and some chocolates but not flowers.

Answer 3

Not a bouquet, but a boutonniere for their lapel would be a nice touch.

Answer 4

not traditionally but i would say go ahead, a carnation for his lapel would be nice and you should honor him however you want...it would be a good tradition to start if you don't already.
