With Father’s Day coming up, take the opportunity to create a resident event for your tenants to help build and strengthen your rental community. From gifts to events, there are many fun options for a festive Father’s Day celebration.
Father’s Day is right around the corner, and families are planning their celebrations. As a landlord, you have an excellent opportunity to show your residents why your rental community is great by hosting a family celebration for fathers. Encourage your tenants to participate in these fun family events for Father’s Day.
These gifts and events help show your appreciation for fathers and help your tenants to show theirs as well, making Father’s Day celebrations an excellent investment for the landlord looking to develop and maintain a community. As an additional bonus, these communities can be maintained regularly with more events throughout the summer and into the autumn and holiday seasons. The benefits of resident events are numerous, and Father’s Day events are just one of the many events that you can host.
Simple and Easy Ideas
Resident events for fathers can easily be small, simple events, and many fathers prefer it that way. It’s also much more affordable and easier to set up than a large event, meaning you will have less work on your plate to prepare.
This Father’s Day, consider small, fun offerings such as:
- Dessert & Coffee Bar: Set out a few boxes of donuts and coffee for the fathers in your community to enjoy. If you have any local or well-loved bakeries, source from them for an extra treat for the sweet-toothed dads in your community.
- Gift Cards: Gift cards make great, easy Father’s Day gifts for your tenants and don’t require much personal knowledge of the recipient. Get a variety of gift cards to common Father’s Day gift locations, such as your local sporting goods store, steakhouse, or other fun events. Let your residents know that they can pick one out from the front office while you have them available.
- Card Crafting Station: Encourage kids and parents in your community to make cards for the fathers in their lives with a card crafting station. Colorful construction paper, markers, and other crafting supplies are cheap and easy to acquire, and children love making gifts for their parents.
Large Scale Events
In my opinion, dads are a little more difficult to find gifts for than moms; my dad has always been tough to shop for. As such, experiences and quality time can be the ideal way to celebrate the fathers in your community. For many families, Father’s Day calls for an event, and hosting one in your rental community can be a great way to develop strong communal ties.
If you want to set up a larger event for your tenants, you can encourage a great turnout and bring in families with these resident events:
- Outdoor Movie Night: It’s June, and the weather is beautiful in most of the U.S., so an outdoor movie night can be a great way to celebrate Father’s Day. Rent a projector and screen, and allow residents to bring picnic supplies for an outdoor film screening in the nearest grassy area. Let your resident fathers suggest movies or pick a common family-friendly crowd-pleaser. Your residents and their families will love it!
- Barbecue: I know my dad loves a good barbecue, and it’s a classic family day. Most dads would love to spend an afternoon with their children, playing games, and enjoying delicious food. Plan a fun lunch or dinner event for kids and dads with a community barbecue. Work with a local restaurant to cater the event, set up some entertainment options such as outdoor games, and encourage residents to reserve a spot and bring any fathers in their lives.
Final Thoughts
Hosting a Father’s Day event is a great way to build your community and promote a positive, family-friendly environment within your rentals. From small gift gestures to large events for families, there are many things you can do to ensure your tenants have a great Father’s Day with a gift they’ll appreciate.
