Football Party Details:
This is what Christina said about planning/styling the party- “Living in 12th Man territory (A.K.A. Seahawks, the Superbowl Champs), what better way to celebrate your 12th birthday than with a 12th man party!?!
For the dessert table, a Hawk cake with a touch of the “12” on it was the perfect touch. To create the backdrop, we used the 12th Man Flag & made paper chains like from when we were all kids. Cake pops & chocolate covered oreos are always a tween favorite & had to be part of the display. Fondant topped cupcakes with fun sayings from favorite players were added. Cookies from Sweet Themes Bakery was a must. My kids are lucky that I make all the other treats their hearts desire – but when it comes to gorgeous cookies – I am happy to support Sweet Themes. They totally outdid themselves. Marshmallow pops decorated as footballs (on skewers from Party City) gave us the football element. No Seahawks party is complete without Skittles candies. A staple at any grocery store you would think….but fans here are so enthusiastic, they were hard to come by around the Superbowl! Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch eats them before every game, and they have become a game day neccessity around here. They even have a burger at the stadium that is served with a side of skittles!
I am all about keeping costs down, so when I stumbled upon blue and green cups at the Dollar Store – I had to use them. I had a friend cut out vinyl for me & turned them into Seahawks cups. Add a printable flag from PartyOn!Designs and they were a hit & a favor all the tweens could take home. Munchies included chips, popcorn in adorable favor boxes from Banner Events, and a few other items. We stamped footballs on cups from PartyOn!Designs to hold our veggies. It was a fun Birthday party that could easily be twisted into a game day party or tail gate”.
