Are you ready for some football?! The Big Game (AKA the half time concert) is just around the corner and I am totally in full party planning mode around here! Who else has already started gathering party decorations?! I am right there with you sister! ;)
Every year I go to a Game Day party, but this year weโre hosting at our new house. Who knows, it might just become my new thing. ;) With the excitement of the game and the commercials, plenty of football themed snacks, and fun times with friends – thereโs nothing quite like a Game Day party! ;)
Decorating for the party and coming up with new decorations is always so much fun! There are so many different ways you can tie in a fun football theme- the options are endless. Believe it or not, this is my first party post on BFFF that does not include an ounce of pinkโฆ unless you count the pinkish tomatoes on the sliders! ;)
I think the key to decorating is to have fun with it and really go all out. If you have fun with it, your guests will too and theyโll definitely appreciate the little details! These Football Brownies are the perfect example. They are so inexpensive and easy to make, but add such a cute touch, donโt you think? I literally bought brownies from the bakery and piped on white lines with icing to make them look like footballs.
And of course a party is not complete without balloons. I added a variety of balloons from colorful latex balloons, to mylar balloons, and metallic letter balloons that spelled out โGame Dayโ. Donโt be afraid to mix patterns and materials with your balloon set up. Itโs such a fun way to tie in the theme.
Of course we canโt forget about the different Game Day snacks! Iโm setting up this Slider Bar for easy snacking throughout the game. Feeding a crowd can be daunting, but buffets, bars, and โmake your ownโ stations like this one will be so easy on you and your guests. You can add bacon, cheese, onions, lettuce, or tomatoes – the toppings are endless.
We also always include a big pot of this Jalapeno Artichoke Dip at Game Day! It is seriously so addicting and a huge crowd pleaser. If youโre headed to a Game Day party, I highly recommend whipping up some to bring along. Iโm telling you, with a batch of this, you will instantly be everyoneโs favorite person at the party!
For the kids, you canโt go wrong with these Lemon Cupcakes. I guarantee youโll see plenty of adults enjoying them too! I decorated these with Game Day cupcake pics, but the skyโs the limit with this football theme! You can even decorate your cupcakes with some turf-green frosting and piped on white frosting for quick yard lines.
