Football Party Ideas
College Football Season kicks off in less than 2 weeks!
Make game day, tailgating, and football watching festive
with these decorating ideas and party foods!
Tie a vase with football Ribbons
Make a Football Tree or wreath with football ornaments,
and things related to your team, or in the team colors
Make a Football Field table topper
Add a Garland over the table and decorate the field
with fake grass and little footballs
Make a flower arrangement using the team colors
This arrangement featured flowers for both teams
playing that day~
red and white for Alabama, and blue and red for Ole Miss
The Ole Miss Rebel man is on the table
along with a red & blue pompom to represent the opposing team
Serve Wedge Salad Dip decorated with your team’s colors or logo~
this one is decorated with chopped lettuce for “the football field”
and cherry tomato A for Alabama
Paint {easy!} brown lunch bags with Popcorn
Set out popcorn and other goodies
for people to make their own snack bag mix
Use a tiered tray and fill it with football
or team themed items and use it for decor or a centerpiece
and top them with a football toothpick
Serve snacks like Grilled Cheese Sandwich Chips
Pimiento Cheese & Sausage Puffs
and Ditzy Ritz
Put them in a Football Stadium Serving Tray
Make clean up easy using disposable Paper Football Plates
I painted a plain white Tide Pride Snack Helmet several years ago,
but unfortunately I haven’t been able to find another one
BUT!
I did find these Football Helmet Snack Servers
available in many NFL and NCAA team themes
Fill your helmet with Autumn Snack Mix
You can even add the M&Ms in team colors~
buy a big bag and sort out the colors you want
and save the rest (did you know you can freeze M&Ms!)
So, are you ready for some football?
Go Bama!!
I will be joining these fabulous parties and blogs:

Thanks Mary, can’t wait!
Hard to believe football season is only two weeks away! It has slipped up on me this year. You have so many fun ideas for serving and decorating on game day. I love how you did the little football field. All the food looks so yummy but the sassy sausage squares sounds delicious! Thanks for the football update! Yay, Go BAMA!
The Sassy Sausage Squares are one of my favorites! Roll Tide!!
I can’t wait! Yay for FOOTBALL! All your treats, snacks and decorating ideas are awesome. That football field is amazing!
Thanks Nancy!
Very clever!
Thanks Dorothy, football is a very big deal in the South!
I need to shrae these with Molly! Football? Already! Yikes!
Tasty bites!
Jenna, I can’t believe football is only 2 weeks away! You have so many wonderful and creative ideas plus fabulous food for game day. Roll Tide 🅰️! Love the elephant! 🐘🏈 My sweet Daddy was the biggest Alabama fan ever. He knew all the players from the 50’s on to the present. I will miss his commentary on each game.
Oh Pam, I’m sure your Dad will be watching and smiling down on you from above 💕 Roll Tide!!
Roll Tide!
I lived in B’ham for a little over a year–that’s where my daughter was born. When I thought about “Roll Tide” I wondered where that came from–well, you can find anything on the internet:

As to your wonderful food, I love it all. I really wish I had a snack bag right now! And the Stadium Serving Tray is great! You outdid yourself on this spread, Bama!

Thanks so much Sheila {former Bama Gal!!} And thanks for the link, I so enjoyed learning how Roll Tide and Crimson Tide came to be!
great ideas Jenna….gonna use a few of them…we are ready for football season…yah. Blessings always
Enjoy!
Those are some good ideas, especially the sliders. Coming at the same time as foot ball season is the coming lawsuit between Melania Trump and Hunter Biden, which begs for it’s own party favors and foods. Something sleazy fun like hooker apps and crackpipe nachos, just to name a couple.
Oh my goodness – 2 weeks away, how can that be? Where did summer go lol. You have so many cute and crafty ideas here Jenna and all your snacks and appys look delicious. Love the football helmet filled with potato chips and the football plates. Happy snacking and happy football season to you!
Thanks so much Kim! Football is a very big deal in the South and people go all out on game day!
We don’t watch football in my family, but I always look forward to seeing your cute decorations and enjoying your appetizer recipes.
Thanks Linda, the appetizers are good for any occasion!
You have so many cute ideas for football themed parties. While we don’t have friends over for football, we do enjoy the games. Our granddaughter is one of the cheerleaders at Notre Dame so we are watching college football more often.
How exciting! You should try a football party, we always have a lot of fun!
Game days are the best days, and you have given me some grand ideas to fuel up to win!
Go Team! Thanks Mary, have fun!
Very cute ideas for football Jenna. Paul and I are not into football, but I get it. Looks like this would be a fabulous way to entertain people for a football event. I am pleased to feature your fun football ideas at Love Your Creativity.
Thank you Linda, football is a passion in the South, probably mostly because of the parties, hahaha!
