Football Party featured on Hostess with the Mostess

We were honored when one of our parties were featured on Hostess with the Mostess just in time for the Super Bowl.

We want to thank Kelly Rodriguez Photography for taking these amazing photos!

When it came time to plan for my son’s 8^th Birthday, there was no other choice than a Football Party. This past summer, Grant started playing football for the Puyallup Roughriders which was the inspiration for the party. We used the colors of cardinal and gold and white. We wanted to recreate the same football stadium that my son played his home football games so created a Scoreboard sign that reflects that only changing the name of the stadium to my son. We were lucky enough to have several jerseys and helmets we were able to borrow to enhance our dessert table. For the actual table décor, we got a piece of Astro Turf from Lowe’s and then my trusty husband constructed goal posts as the finishing touches for the table. We also constructed bleachers to really set the turf off and to add depth to the table and we added cupcakes, popcorn and football cake pops as the “fans.” For the other treats on the table, I baked football shaped sugar cookies and hot dogs, the perfect football snack.

Fun Keepsake: Wedding Mad Libs

Last year, one of my brides came up with the idea of a fabulous keepsake from their wedding and for their love of Mad Libs. This is a fun interactive activity for your guests. Here are a few examples of Mad Libs.

Here is a great tutorial on how to make your own Mad Libs.

Inspiration: Vintage Luggage as Card holder

I am a huge fan of vintage decor pieces for weddings & events. They are a great way to dress up your gift table. Be creative, add your own flair to your piece by adding fresh flowers or other decor pieces. You can find these great pieces from the past from local thrift shops, garage sales or Craigslist. You just have to keep your eyes peeled for just the right piece that fits your theme.
