Invitations

Fun Shaped Invitations

Cardstock cut into fun football shapes make great invitations. How about some of these:

A football shape can be cut from brown cardstock. Then, with a sea sponge and brown craft paint, make a spotted pattern on the paper. To join the two sides together, use a hole punch to make holes across the top of the footballs. Then, you can use white shoelaces or white yarn to lace up the football.

A football jersey can be cut from cardstock in the colors of your favorite team or your child's favorite color. If you fold the cardstock in half and start the shape at the fold, the two sides will be connected when you cut them out.

Words for inviting the guests:

Use fun headlines for the cards like "Ready for a day of football, food and fun?" or "Come, Join the team" or even "(Your child's name) is making the X (age) year touchdown!"

On the inside of the invitation, write, "You are invited for an afternoon of football fun at (your last name) field (your address). Game Day: (Date) First quarter starts:(time). To join the team (your RSVP information)

Decorations

Football Party Ideas For Room Decorations

The room can then be decorated with child-friendly items like an inflatable cupcake, a pull string pinata and a 1st door sign. Bristle board can be used to make pennants and football posters can be used too.

Oversized plush bears and other soft animals could be sat around the room too.

To get the cuddly little friends into the football party theme, make them little pennants from card stock or get a few Lil' Quarterback 1st caps. (The kids will loves these too!) Other items like a climbing tunnel and kid's tents will help to get the kids going too. You can cover them with football themed material to make them fit into the décor.

All first birthday party ideas for the table should keep the mess under control and be safe and easy for the kids. The Lil Quarterback 1st Birthday party pack is perfect.

It has streamers, curling ribbon, balloons, and a Mylar balloon to decorate the room. It even takes care of the football party ideas for the utensils. The plates, napkins, and cups carry a "Lil Quarterback" theme that coordinate perfectly with the tablecover that will save your table from the mess. This kit even includes cute little party hats for the kids and thank-you notes for afterwards.

Costumes

Coming up with football party ideas for costumes can be tough. These items need to be kid-friendly and look great for pictures.

For the little guests, purchase inexpensive white t-shirts and large foam cutouts in football-themed shapes. Then, you just have to use fabric glue or a series of small stitches to attach them to the shirt. The birthday boy's shirt can have a cute little saying made from foam letters or fabric paint on his shirt and a pair of coordinating sweat pants.

Food

Football Party Ideas For Cakes

Use a shaped cake pan such as a football or player to make the cake. Then, use toddler safe foods such as cereal to decorate around the outside of the cake. The Lil Quarterback 1st birthday party supply includes candles and a "1" candle for the top.

Some more great first birthday ideas, try a rectangular cake. You can use an edible image of your child's face to make him into a football star. Coat the cake with white icing and transfer the image onto the cake. You can then use a toothpick to mark out the shapes of a helmet and body. Colored icing can then be used to fill in the design and make fun borders. Shaped sugar decorations purchase from a bakery or specialty store can be used too. Just be sure to take them off the cake before giving them to the little guests.

First Birthday Ideas for Food and Drinks

Little ones like simple food, so keep that in mind when looking for football party ideas for food. Try some of these simple ideas:

• "Footballs and Yard lines": Hotdogs cut up into macaroni and cheese.
• "Helmets" These are dinner buns with meat, cheese and veggies.
• Milk and fruit juice can be used with creative names like "Superstar Punch" and "Touchdown surprise"
• The older guests might like "Super Super-bowls" Purchase bread bowls from the local bakery and fill them with your very own homemade chili.

Football Treats

• Large marshmallows can be coated with milk chocolate to make "footballs." Just flatten them a little first before dipping them.
• Make a little treat table with items such as cheese chunks and sandwich meat in fun football shapes. Bowls full of cereals, cookies, and fruit can be included too.
• For the bigger guests, use things like chicken wings, potato salad, and chips and dip.

Party Favors

Football party ideas for party favors give you a chance to get creative. Music like a boy's first birthday CD, a plush football toy set, and toddler friendly cars make a great start.

You can also add snacks like cheese sticks and snack packs of mini cookies.
