My son's birthday party fell on the Saturday before the Super Bowl so we decided to have a football party.  My husband designed invitations to look like a ticket to a football game with a picture of my son in a jersey. He put his birth date as the Seat, Row & Section. The stadium was the place we were having it at & he also included game time. To enhance the theme, we encouraged guests to wear football gear by including the note Admission subject to guests wearing appropriate football attire on the invitation.  For decorations, I asked the restaurant to give us green tablecloths and I bought white electrical tape and made lines on the tablecloth to replicate the yard-lines on a field, and included the 50 at mid-field. On the tables I placed inflatable footballs, #1 hands, and I also bought tabletop football (all from Oriental Trading). I also made chocolate lollipops shaped like footballs and helmets. For a lollipop holder, I used the green foam that Michael's sells for floral arrangements and painted white yard-lines on them to represent a field. As the craft, we made a football man using a toilet paper roll and cut out of face, body, hands, feet and a football.  For the favors, I made jersey's,  Michael's had a sale on t-shirts so I bought them, stencils and fabric puffy paint.  I painted the last name and a number on each of the shirts, they were a hit. For dessert, I made football-shaped brownies and used white chocolate to make the laces on the football. I also made a football field cake, with teddy grahams as the players. The 2 teams of teddy grahams had different color shirts which I used gel icing in a tube to create. We also had cupcakes with green icing and it had a football and a penalty flag.  One more note, I bought the inflatable football man from Oriental Trading for the kids, they had a blast!
