The best Super Bowl and Football Party Ideas (with a freebie!)

With the Super Bowl championship just around the corner, we’re sharing our ideas on how to throw a football-themed party this week. We’re keeping this post high-level so that it applies to all kinds of football parties. We know many of you are looking for Super Bowl party ideas. But we also know football-themed birthday parties are popular, too, so we wanted to keep this pretty general so you can use these ideas for any type of football party.

Football party decoration ideas

If you’re looking for some great football party decorations, you don’t need to look further than Amazon and Etsy. Football-themed napkins, paper plates, disposable cups and disposable football field tablecloths make for an easy post-game and post-party clean up, plus it looks coordinated.

And some general football decorations like banners, streamers, balloons and cupcake toppers pull everything together, plus you can use them again for your annual Superbowl party decorations or any other football themed party you might host.

See the links to our favourite products (hello, that cute stadium snack organizer!) under the picture featured to the right.

If you sign up for a free trial Amazon Prime membership, your products will ship FREE within 1-2 days. I recently signed up for Amazon Prime, and let me tell you, it’s been life-changing (or it just encouraged my shopping addiction even more…at least, that’s what my husband would tell you!)

We also created an adorable printable food and snack label template as our free giveaway this week. If you’re not already signed up, get on the list and download our football template this week before it’s gone for good!

Superbowl party and football party invitations

Full disclosure…I own an Etsy shop that sells printable and digital invitations, so I’m a bit biased when it comes to my opinion on inviting people to parties. Nothing gets me more excited than receiving a physical invitation to a party in the mail because it’s so RARE these days that it’s always extra special to receive a printed invite!

Our football party invitation can be customized to suit whatever kind of party you’re having, whether it’s a Superbowl party, a tailgate party, football birthday party or end of season football wrap-up party. We do all the customizing, and you can either print the invitation or send it out digitally to your guests. Skip the boring Facebook event that everyone only clicks “interested” on and send out something instead that will make guests want to RSVP “yes” and come to your party.

Free football party printable food labels

As I mentioned earlier, we send out free printables each week to our Pretty Printables VIP Club, and this week’s freebie is blank football-themed food and snack labels. If you would like to get your hands on this awesome freebie, sign up here to download the template (*for personal use only*):
