Your spouse does ALL the "Father's Day" stuff.. especially if your kid is a boy.

I expect him to make at least a token effort.

On the other hand, once your kids give you a present they'll want to go out with their friends so do father's day in the am and go to dinner with your wife for your anniversary.

Or, we might to our Saturday night because it's not a "school night" and the boy is old enough to not need a sitter, so we could stay out late.

Wedding Anniversary is between two people. Father's day is for yourself, and if your family wants to celebrate/honor it, they would do so, you shouldn't have to bring it up.
