Football Party

Football Party

I LOVE throwing sports themed birthday parties for my son, and it seems as though BellaGrey Designs’ son and mine are kindred spirits…the more sports the better! Jennifer threw this AMAZING Football Party for her son’s 6th birthday and no detail was left un-attended. This party would be so much fun for a Super Bowl viewing party too!

From Jennifer:

What better way to welcome the start of the football season than with some football party inspiration? Football is always on in my house, but I’m not complaining! I grew up in a sports focus family, my dad loved all sports and I grew to like them as well. My hubby and son love all sports too, so it was not hard to create a this football viewing birthday party for my son!

Playing off my theme, I created menu items that are the traditional football favorites. We served popcorn, pretzels, hot wings, chicken poppers, football and jersey shaped cookies and of course cupcakes! As a healthy alternative mini cups of veggies are always a great choice.A great party starts off with the invitation letting your guests know all the pertinent information including the theme.

We mailed our invitations in black and white striped sacks! All of our guests loved it.

Coming up with fun names for the food is always a great addition to the party.

Since my son has three favorite teams {Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers} I incorporated each team and their colors into the party theme.

To add some pizzazz, I created these fun tags for mini Coca-Cola bottles to form an offensive. Added mini Dallas Cowboys helmets and we were ready for “Down, Set, Hut”!

Of course you can’t play a game of football without Coca-Cola referees and their flags.

Keep your players and guests hydrated with designer water bottles to match the theme.

Serving green Kool-Aide in larger mason jars with a football decal is a perfect fit for this football viewing birthday party.

A bird’s-eye view is a fun way to show off the entire party atmosphere.

No football party is complete without a full astro turf indoor field and a game day banner.

It was my son’s 6th birthday, how appropriate to add the number in Roman Numerals.

To welcome our guests to the Fieldhouse we designed this extra-large sign and propped it up on our easel and ran a narrow football field down the hallway.

Each guest went home with a package full of these:
