My son turned 7 last month, boy how time flies!
He wanted a 49er theme party but he also wanted his guests to wear their favorite team apparel since not everyone is a NINER fan. Since living in the Bay Area, we have two teams out here, the 49ers and the Raiders. My family is a HUGE 49er fan :)
So on the invitation I included a message: "wear your favorite team apparel". But next time I would say "wear your favorite football team apparel" since some our guest were in Baseball or Basketball team apparel. I also designed them ticket style so you can "rip" off the ticket stub and bring it to the party to enter a raffle contest.
The prize was a gift card to Starbucks. Originally it was supposed to be to WingStop but we didn't have time to get it.
Got all the decorations from the Dollar Tree! (except the goody bags, they were from walmart for .99 cents!)
49er helmet as the cake
We had lots of goodies, all chosen by the birthday boy.
Banner: "GO NINERS!"
5x7 Sign: Halftime Snacks
Football Cake Pops
Did a few of these
Red Helmets (Football Players) Cake Pop
Rolo with football labels
Football shaped OREO cookies!!!!
(used the same labels as on the Rolo candy, wrapped in red cardstock)
It was my 2nd attempt decorating sugar cookies, my first attempt was a complete fail!
Goody Bags: Each child got a football (inflated, not shown in picture), bubbles, foam finger hand clapper, football silly bands, tattoo, and a lollipop.
used the same sticker labels that I used for the Rolos and waterbottle labels
Mini footballs as his favors.
Jacob had a blast! If only the Niners went to the Superbowl and won it! Hehe!

My son wants a NY Jets birthday this year. I came across your ticket style invites on pinterest. Did you use a template or create it on your own? They are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteEverthing looks party perfect. Love all of the ideas and have connected with Green Monster Promos. I let then know that I found a referral link from the mini football just so you get credit for the referral. Thanks for sharing so many great ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I love your invitation with the pull away raffle ticket. How did you create those? I'd love to do something similar for my son's birthday party!
ReplyDeletewhere did you get the sticker labels for the rolo?
