The origins of Father's Day date back to the early 20th century, when Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, was inspired by the newly recognized Mother's Day. Dodd wanted to honor her father, a Civil War veteran named William Jackson Smart, who single-handedly raised six children after the death of his wife. Her efforts led to the first Father’s Day celebration in 1910, and the tradition quickly spread, eventually becoming a national holiday in the United States. Today, it’s celebrated worldwide, with each country adding its own unique customs and traditions.
In NZ and Australia, we celebrate Fathers Day on the first Sunday in September. Due to our Auckland floral courier schedules, this means all deliveries to Dad will go out on the Saturday before Fathers Day so he can enjoy your gift for the whole weekend!
