Presidents Day Theme Party
George Washington, the 1st president of the United States, and Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, have their birthdays celebrated each year as a national holiday the 2nd Monday of February.The original version of the holiday was in commemoration of George Washington's birthday in 1796 (the last full year of his presidency). George Washington is the first President of the United States of America. He is one of our founding forefathers who battled the British in the American Revolution and won the freedom of our people for all time. In 1968, legislation (HR 15951) was enacted that affected several federal holidays. One of these was Washington's Birthday, the observation of which was shifted to the third Monday in February each year whether or not it fell on the 22nd. Later, Abraham Lincoln, also equally revered and born on February 12th, was also included in the celebration which merged into President's Day and was observed on the third Monday of February. Presidents Day party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a nice way to complete a President’s Day Party Theme. Party decorations using President’s Day Party Themes like inflatables and piñatas can act as a centerpiece, can also double as party prizes. Fun Presidents Day party favors like Presidents Day stickers, American Flags, Uncle Sam Hats give a patriotic flare to a Presidents Day Party Theme.
