Party Tips for Setting a Football Party Tablescape

Step One: Add pattern with a unique table runner

Begin with a foundation of a solid color tablecloth then add pattern with a wrapping paper table runner. I loved this orange polka dot paper and it adds a great pop of color on top of the navy tablecloth!

Step Two: Use versatile white dishes

Thrift stores are a fabulous place for building your collection.

Step Three: Add height to serving pieces with upturned bowls.

Step Four: Add fun football party decor

Punch up the party theme with a DIY Football Door Hanger. The Football Centerpiece was on our front door but I moved it to the table right before the party.

Party Tips for Planning Football Party Food

Every party menu needs four things ~

  1. A Savory Dish {Meatball Pizza Bake Recipe}

    Um this party is ADORABLE. Thanks for the good tips. My kids love Ritz crackers (no joke – they eat a sleeve a day practically), and if I threw the dip in there too they would be in Heaven. Pinning and stumbling this!
