Are you ready for some Football? Check out my Football Party – Simple Food & Decor with Free Printable. During Football season, my family’s Sundays are spent gathered in front of the television with family and friends cheering on our favorite Football teams and eating lots of food.

This weekend with the start of the regular Football season I decided to host a small Football Theme Party. I wanted to decorate but, keep the food and decor simple.

I decorated a table with a few finger foods and treats. I decided to place the beverages on a different table.
 
 
My little boy helped me come up with the ideas for the food. After the Football Party, I found treats that I forgot to put out on the table.
 

 

Football Party Food 

 

1. Chocolate Football Strawberries – Fun and delicious large size strawberries covered in milk chocolate made to look like footballs are from Shari’s Berries.

These delicious strawberries offered a bit of sweetness for our guest and looked great with our football theme food and decor.

The strawberries were delivered on Friday two days before our party on Sunday. The dozen of strawberries arrived at my front door in a cooler box; I was surprised how fresh they tasted on Sunday.

I love that I can order dessert for a party that my guest can enjoy that I don’t have to worry about taking the time to make or cleaning up a mess afterwards.

Note– If you are placing your strawberries outdoor for a party I suggest laying them on a bed of ice or freezer packs. If you would like to surprise your family and friends with some delicious chocolate dipped Strawberries from Shari’s Berries you could use the discount codes here to save money on an order.

 
2. Easy to make Individual Popcorn Snack Mix – I popped one bag of butter flavored popcorn in the microwave according to the directions on the popcorn bag, then I poured the popcorn into a large bowl mixing in one (1)box of  Cheez-It Snack Mix (10.5 oz).
 
This was the easiest and simplest snack I ever made. I poured the popcorn snack mix into little brown bags that I decorated.
 
Make the bags: The bags were simple to decorate. I purchased the brown bags with handles from Michael’s. I drew and cut out football shapes on sticky back brown felt then peeled the backing off and stuck them on the bags.
 
I used a chalk marker to draw on the white lines. The guest loved having their own individual snack bags. 
 
Kim’s note- the only thing I wish I would have done differently is put some tissue paper inside the bags before pouring the snack mix into each bag, to keep the oils from absorbing through. 

3. Pigs in the Blanket- This snack was my son’s idea, and he kept sneaking and eating them. I used one can of Pillsbury Crescent rolls and one package of hotdogs.

I cut the hot dogs in half and cut each perforated raw dough in half, then rolled each hot dog half in a piece of the dough.

I placed the Pigs in the Blanket in a preheated oven to 350 degrees. I followed the directions on the Crescent Roll package for the time.

4. Potato Chips- I poured a bag of chips into a medium size brown bag with handles I purchased from Michael’s. I decorated the bag with a felt football and brown twine. The guest scooped their chips out of the bag using a large plastic spoon.

5. Individual English Muffin Pizzas- I placed a tray of English Muffins that I separated on a tray with Mariana sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and bell peppers. Each guest made their own Individual pizza that was cooked in a toaster oven.

Football Party Decorations 

 
1. Plates, napkins, cups, tablecloths were purchased from Walmart.
 
 
2. Get Ready for Some Football Free Printable. I love the way this printable turned out. I placed it in an 8×10 black frame that I already had; I think a brown or tan frame would have looked better.
 
You can download the printable free. Please do not sell the print for private use only.
 
 
3. DIY Go Team Chalkboard Banner- I spray painted six cork board pennants that I had purchased from Michael’s with black chalkboard spray paint.
 
After the pennants had been dried, I glued them onto brown twine using a hot glue gun. I used a chalkboard marker to write my message on the banner. I loved the way it turned out.
 
 
 
4. DIY Football Banner– I used 12 cork board pennants to make this easy Football Banner.
 
I used a white chalkboard marker to draw the lines on each pennant then I hot glued each piece onto brown twine. I think my banner turned out great. What do you think?
 
 
5. Miscellaneous Decorations- I used my son’s New Orleans Saints Football Helmet and Football on the table as decorations since we already had them.
 
Also, I used an old wooden flower crate to add height to the decor and food on the table.
 
 
You can see it doesn’t take a lot of food or decorations to throw a quick, simple, and fun Football theme party.
 
All the guest enjoyed the food and the company, even though the team we were cheering for lost the game!
 
I hope I have given you some great ideas to inspire you to host your own Football Theme Party.

    It turned out great, but personally I am thinking, wow, that's A LOT of food and decorations. LOL At my house the 'theme' is whatever plates the kids picks. I do my best to match a cake with it and go.

      Thank you Crystal! LOL! That's exactly what theme we usually have too. Most of the time we just grab plates and go. But when we have company we try to do something fun. Not to often we go all out but this Football party was really simple. Have a great day, Kim

    Thank you! It doesn't have to cost a lot of money to decorate a small part of a room or a place outdoors to put the food to make it look more inviting. I just used simple decor and food. Also, you could get guests to bring over food to share. You could give a small prize to the person that brings over the best football inspired food or dessert. Have a great day, Kim

      Hi Yanique! Thank you so much for the kind words. I didn't make the strawberries, they were delivered to my front door from Shari's Berries. But they did look great with my decor and food. You don't need to throw a party to decorate and have some simple snacks the next time your husband and son want to watch a Football game. You could also surprise them with the strawberries. I have a discount code on this post you could use. Have a lovely day, Kim
