Host a College Football Bowl Game Party

The college football season is really heating up. Get ready for those bowl game watch-parties with these College Football Party TipZ!

This type of party can be really exciting if you bring the fun of tailgating into the comfort of your own home. Gather around the TV with plenty of food and drinks to watch the game.

Decorate your tables for all that food by covering them with faux grass mats as tablecovers to simulate turf. Add our All-Pro Football Tabeware Ensemble for a cool coordinated look. As an alternative, choose solid plastic tableware in your favorite team’s colors.

Create an awesome atmosphere for the party by decorating in the colors of the teams playing that day. ShindigZ has tons of affordable decorating basics to help you create the perfect stadium feel. Try our streamers and seamless paper for mixing and matching team colors.

Balloons are a party classic and you can create awesome balloon bunches off team colors for this party. Remember, balloons look best in clusters of odd numbers. Secure them to a balloon weight with curling ribbon or simply blow them up and scatter them around the room. For a fun alternative, try suspending balloons from the ceiling with various lengths of curling ribbon.

Welcome guests to your party with the Personalized Touch Down Door Banner. You can add your own custom wording to the heavy-duty, weather-resistant banner. It makes a great decoration that you can reuse all throughout football season!

What’s a party without games! Use our Football Target Party Game or our Football Photo-Stand In to get the party going. Don’t forget to have a traditional football game pool. You can even add new categories that are specific to your party guests.

Get guests all decked out for game day with football party favors as door prizes and give aways. Hand out football beads, metal whistles, football clappers, pom poms, or football helmet necklaces. Don’t forget to use facepaint pens to get everyone painted up!

After choosing a slogan, create invitations to send out to your guests. The All Pro Football Party Kit has a matching paper invitation you can write your party details on a send to guests in the mail. Add a pinch of confetti to the envelopes for extra fun.
