Football Party Invitations
From LoveToKnow Party
Whether you are picking up college football party supplies or planning a Super Bowl bash, be sure to add football party invitations to your party planning checklist. After all, a party without guests will be no party at all.
Winning Invitations
Whether you are hosting a season-opener tailgate, archrival cookout or neighborhood block party, the right football invite will get things started off on the right foot. Invitations often feature goal posts, footballs, tailgate scenes, football fields, cleats, helmets, and players. Appealing invitations are sure to score big with the invited guests.
The more, the merrier, is often true when it comes to team sporting parties. Whether you find some free printable invitations or order customizable invitations, you want to be sure that everyone wants to attend the party. Winning invitations are available at online retailers like:
- Oriental Trading
- FineStationary.com
- InvitationBox.com
- Announcingit.com
- Impressions in Print Paper Company
- Paper Style
- Factory Card & Party Outlet
Invitations are also available via online invitation companies. This is a fast and easy way to let everyone know about an impromptu football party. As long as everyone invited checks their email at least every few days, they are sure to receive the Evite invitation and reply.
At many parties, the football aspect is often a secondary theme. Be sure to let others know if the party is actually a bachelor party, graduation party or 13th teen birthday party.
Homemade Football Invites
An invitation to a football party is often casual. Rarely are football fan gatherings elegant galas. A homemade card is perfect for a get together that involves rooting the home team on. A homemade party invitation is a cost-effective and fun-to-make choice.
Easy Kids Invite
Kids who are having a sports-themed birthday party can help make their own invitations. Follow these simple steps to create an easy invitation.
- Fold a sheet of brown construction paper in half.
- Trace a football-shaped cookie cutter onto one side, with the top of the football lining up with the fold.
- Cut out the shape from both sides, creating a half-fold card.
- Glue small pieces of string on the front to make the football laces.
- Cut out a single sheet of white paper using the cookie cutter as a guide.
- Write the party information in green (or team colors) on the white football shape.
- Glue the white football on the inside of the card.
After the glue has dried, have kids put the invitations into envelopes purchased as a party supply store. Seal, stamp and send them on their way to all of the guests.
Crafty Invites for Adults
Adults with a crafty thumb can make their own football party invitations, too. Use football scrapbook page ideas to get started. Consider making a pop up card where the player springs out or a rubber stamp card with some great football graphics. An awesome invite often means that an awesome party will follow, so get guests excited about the football party with a creative invite.
Football Party Invitation Wording
An invitation should have all of the essential party information, like date, time, place, and reason for the party. Include other pertinent information, like “wear clothes for a flag football game following the pro game” or “bring a dish to share.” Be sure to include some fun invitation wording that plays on the sport itself, such as:
- “Hut one, hut two, hut three . . . time to party!”
- “The quarterback shuffle just isn’t the same without you, so put on your cleats for a party with the Mitchells.”
- “The Richardsons are hosting a Punt-Return Potluck!”
- “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y, that’s our party’s battle cry.”
A number of football cheers are suitable for invitation wording. Simply replace team colors or mascot with the team everyone is rooting for at the party. Using partial cheers is another way to start an invitation off with energy.
Choosing the perfect football party invitations is only the first step in getting the bash started. Remember to add party decorations, party favors and party menu foods to the shopping list.
