Jacob's Football Party

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!

For those of you that know me, you know I LOVE LOVE the Twilight Saga!!!!

Maxwell's 1st Birthday Party!

Max's first birthday party has FINALLY come! =). He had a football theme as

 you can see. Many of the guest thought my sister had bought the birthday

 banner from the store, I'll take that as a compliment! =).

I had fun designing the cupcake toppers! As I mentioned in my previous posts,

I had already made my sister blue and green toppers, but then I made football

ones when she decided on her theme. I ended up using both of them.

A  simple football cake ordered from Safeway Market. The cake was half vanilla and the other half was chocolate....sooo yummy!!!

[Sneak Peak] Max's 1st Football Party

My nephew is turning ONE this Saturday!!! Time flies...before you know it,

I'll be planning for my daughter's 2nd birthday! =)

These are the cupcake toppers. In my previous post I mentioned the cupcake toppers I had already made for Max (its blue and green) but my sister changed her mind to football theme and doesnt want to use blue anymore. Instead of blue she wanted orange.

These are cupcake wrappers that go around the cupcake for a finished look! Get the templates here! There's many other template designs to choose from! Haven't tried this out, hope it comes out well!

And last, the Birthday Banner! All in football theme of course! I'm happy how it turned out! Hopefully the birthday boy will love it as well! =)
