Superbowl Party Ideas + Free Printables

I’ve had Valentine’s Day on the brain, working on projects and posts and stuff since the beginning of the year, but I thought we’d take a little detour today and think about football for a minute since the Pro Bowl is this weekend and the Superbowl is next weekend.  Although my boys’ teams didn’t make it this year (boo!), we still like to watch a good football game with family and friends!  I have some ideas for how to decorate, what to serve or bring to your football party along with some fun, free football printables too (you know how I love those printables)!

Decorate your party table with some green butcher paper, tape and white number stickers to resemble a football field (via Martha Stewart).

Or use carpet grass and duct tape from the home improvement store (instructions at Chica and Jo).

Pennant banners will dress up your party area.  This superbowl party printable set from Wants and Wishes Design has lots of fun ideas!

As we all know, most of the party is centered around the television screen or standing around mingling with friends, so bite-size snacks and finger foods would work best.  Below are some yummy recipes that you could try! (Click on the link to take you to the recipe).

Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza Puffs from Plain Chicken

Perfect Guacamole from gimme some oven!

Cheesy, Beefy Nachos from Cheese and Chocolate

Cookie Dough dip from add a pinch

Caramel Cheesecake Apple Dip from Half Baked Baker

Double Chocolate Football Cupcakes from The Baker Chick

And finally some free printables to dress up your party food area:

Or you can create your own cupcake wrappers using black and white striped scrapbook paper, as Lisa Storms at Fiskars shows you.

And lastly, I just HAD to share this Pittsburgh Steelers dessert table display created by the amazing Bakerella.  Not only because the Steelers are my husband’s favorite team, but because it’s my favorite football desserts table display.  Check out all the details and pics HERE.

I hope you are able to use some of these ideas for your Superbowl party!  Who are you cheering for…the Giants or the Patriots???
