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}
  2. A little bit of Salty {Sweet and Spicy Rosemary Popcorn is so yummy!}
  3. Something for everyone’s Sweet Tooth
  4. Refreshing beverages like Coke Zero and Classic Coca-Cola

Once the table is set it’s time to head to our local Walmart to pick up all the ingredients for the football party food. Classic RITZ® crackers are a must!

The crispy, buttery crackers are the perfect partner for my Black Olive Blue Cheese Ball Recipe. {Keep reading to find the recipe!}

 

Isn’t this referee koozie the best? I couldn’t resist it in the party supply section and everyone was trying to be the one to get it for their Coke Zero!

This Black Olive Blue Cheese Ball recipe is one of my favorites!

My mother has made it for every Christmas Eve and other special occasions for years. It’s creamy, tangy goodness is so fabulous on top of a RITZ® cracker.

    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!
