Football Party Ideas - Steelers Party

With this Sunday's football games approaching...and because I live in Steelers Country...I decided to prepare for the game day party! Of course any of these ideas can be applied to any team or child's football theme party.

I hit the dollar store and Joanne's with little expense. I made these pennant shapes from scrapbook paper and peel and stick letters. I bought sparking gold gift bag tinsel...using two vases...one inside the other placed the tinsel between the two and added fresh yellow roses. I had a few black feathers so I added them for contrast. I also happened to have some green felt that I used as a table runner. If your feeling ambitious you can add the white yard lines making it look like the field.

I used this great football scrapbook paper and added it around my candle holders...also lined the drink tray. I found these matching football stickers and added them to the plain yellow napkins.

I have to say that I borrowed these great yellow and black glassware from my mother. I added a contrasting ribbon to each stem. Write each persons name on the ribbon with a sharpie. I placed the round logo plates on top of a solid square black plate to give them more stability. Most people will be serving themselves and going back to their chairs to eat while watching the game. I tucked the napkin between the plates...one less thing to have to carry.

Here are a few great food ideas to serve. Cheese Football and crackers. How great are these Football Cupcakes! Find video instructions here.
