Football Party
By
Like any themed birthday party, you can have a lot of fun planning a football party. Of course when considering the location, where better to have a football party than on or near a football field! This will make the party really memorable and authentic. Alternatively decorate your backyard with streamers and goal posts for a real match atmosphere.
Here are some more ideas for your football themed party.
Party Invitations
Design a “ticket” style invitation and ask the guests to dress up in their favourite football team colours or uniform.
Food
For a football party nothing beats a good old sausage sandwich! Alternatively, set up a takeaway food stand and have hotdogs, nachos, popcorn, pies with tomato sauce and hot chips. And don’t forget the drinks!
For the cake you could make a football field, adding little figurines and green coloured coconut for the grass. Other suggestions include a football shaped cake or a football jersey cake in your team colours.
Games
Organise a mini football match and get the kids running around with the ball. Have a cheering contest where you divide the party into 2 or 3 different groups and see who can cheer for the birthday boy or girl the loudest.
Face painting is a good option for younger kids and if you are feeling particularly creative, try making a football piñata.
Best of all, throwing a football party is a great way to get the dads involved. They might even feel the need to take over the whole party which means you can sit back and be a spectator!
