When we started the planning process, we knew that on any given Saturday, there would be a UGA game that our guests would hate to miss. We decided to incorporate the love for the game into our party. Mary Beth and J.D. loved this idea, considering they are huge fans--and so are their friends! We had a blast and everyone enjoyed the laid back environment of a football party. Today, I will share with you a few fun tips for making your next Football celebration a hit!
Invitations As I have stated before in a previous post, "the invitations make the first impression on your guests! They set the tone and provided a sense of expectation for this wonderful day." I just love crafting the perfect invitation for each party I throw. I want the guests to be excited about attending the event from the moment they open the envelope! It is important that you carefully think about the theme of the party when deciding on an invitation. I love finding new fonts that help make a statement. My favorite font from this project has to be the Collegiate FLF font. And it's free! Just click on the image below to download. |
Team Colors
Keep team colors in mind when choosing your decor for the party. Don't go overboard, but your team of choice should be obvious by your selection. Stick with prints and patterns that could be used every day to show sophistication.
Little touches go a long way. Chalkboard art is always a fun idea to spice things up and customize the party! If you don't feel confident taking this on, recruit a friend with perfect penmanship to help you with this project.
Have a little fun when it comes to the menu! Stick with fan-favorites, like Chips and Dip, Cheese Burger Sliders, and Lemonade.
All of the bridesmaids brought a finger food for guests to enjoy. This worked out great and we had plenty to choose from!
When it comes to dessert, you can get a little creative! I chose to make Red Velvet cupcakes to go along with my color scheme, but the possibilities are endless! Cupcakes are fun since they are easy to grab and totally customizable.
Remember, this is a football party! Relax and have a little fun. Don't stress about the details, just focus on creating a comfortable environment where people feel at home and are able to enjoy the game.
We put a TV outside on the porch so people could enjoy the game wherever they were. Although it was hot, we had a great time celebrating Mary Beth and J.D. Though I didn't have time to capture many pictures before the party started, here are a few pictures I snapped during the festivities!
