This is Hayden and he is definitely one of the coolest dudes I know. Really. Truly. You may remember the PRINCESS PARTY I did for his sister. Well, his mom was looking for some fun ideas for his football inspired birthday bash.
The theme is a football party. The invite (obviously with the wording changed):
Guests would be asked to wear their favorite Pats Gear like this JERSEY.
A centerpiece of grass made to look like a football field. It is easy to do and inexpensive. Picture a smaller version of the example below (without place cards) and add white lines, goals and Patriots football figures!
Over a casual tablecloth of BURLAP which is very affordable and can be found for less that $3 a yard.
Add FIGURES from Hayden's favorite team, The Patriots.
GLASSES (yes...a party for the boys can be civilized)
Silver PLATES
With silver napkin RINGS
A football COOKIE wrapped in a cellophane bag with a navy ribbon at each place.
Rather than gift bags, each guest gets a HAT (much more fun and something they will be sure to use).
For the birthday boy and his pals a fun version of game day classics - hamburgers and hot dogs.
Mini burgers - RECIPE
And mini hot dogs - RECIPE
A candy bar with assorted CANDY in keeping with the Pats colors for some fun!
Hayden's mom would want to make his cake from scratch (she is a fantastic baker!) and these cupcakes are so fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN!

ReplyDeleteYou've outdone yourself. Love the ideas, I'll get to work!
Loving all the ideas! I love it when parents "sink their teeth" into planning their child's parties. My mother put in so much effort to give us kids a great party and we remember them fondly.
ReplyDeleteYou scored big with this party!! I did a football theme for Carter a couple of years ago --- not nearly as nice as this. I'll keep these ideas handy for my youngest in a couple of years!

Wonderful ideas!!
ReplyDeleteI used to love planning birthday parties for my boy who just turned 19 earlier this month. I used to go all out and am so glad I did. The memories make it all worth it :)
