The Turkey Bowl
The first thing that comes to mind about his party is that you should put easy chairs around the dining room table, but I guess that's not possible, is it?? However, since football is a mainstay, you may want to consider themeing your party around it. Football Invitations
Or invite everyone to a "Touch Football Thanksgiving" play-by-play instead of the traditional Thanksgiving dinner (this also works for weekend entertaining for friends from out of town). At your local party store, I am sure they have football shaped invitations or you can make one on your home computer! Or you can use these football invitations. Our biggest seller are football ticket invitations. You get to use your own wording, choose from seven colors and can order as few as 30. So these are perfect for Thanksgiving, Saturday’s and a college football party or Sunday when the pros play. These ticket invitations also certainly work for the biggest football party of the year….The Super Bowl. Order your ticket invitations now. Tell your guests to come dressed for "football" whether they are a player or a spectator. They'll be relieved they don't have to dress up! Guest Frivolity As soon as your guests enter, start the party. Give them each a velour football hat and they become part of the decor. These are fabulous and fun for photos. Then, if your fans are fanatical like most fans are, give each guest some body paint to use to decorate themselves with your team colors, and they'll love it! As soon as they're done, let them pose with an inflatable football. Cool. Different. Or have them stand behind a football themed photo op for some great pictures and laughs! Finally, as people enter: Football Decorations
Have your children (or do it yourself) make large leaves and hang them from the ceiling in the foyer or wherever the ceiling allows. Each leaf should have the name of one of your guests...it's a nice welcome! A simple centerpiece could be a fall tinsel wreath with a football sitting in the middle. Scatter foil-wrapped chocolate footballs around the bottom as confetti (and watch them disappear). Or we have football confetti. If you want to save yourself some time cleaning up, you may want to use our football plates and just throw the stuff away instead of washing it. Buy some orange and brown ribbon to tie around the napkins for a final touch. Centerpieces are an important part of any Thanksgiving festivity. The football players will need a quick energy boost when the game is over, and, for a more informal side table, consider using grass field table cover and spread whistles, clackers and maracas around for decoration. They’ll come in handy later when you’re watching the game. Menu Traditional Thanksgiving fare works (if they played touch football before dinner, they've worked up an appetite, that's for sure--if they're playing afterwards, you'll think you're watching the game in slow-motion). You may want to use a football mold for the stuffing, the Jell-O and make a football cake for dessert. For something different, you may want to use a football piñata filled with all sorts of goodies for a different style dessert extravaganza. Check out this Football piñata. Don't forget the piñata filler set that is filled with candy and toys. You may also want to get a piñata blindfold and bat for the game. For traditional, low-fat and vegetarian recipe ideas, check out our Thanksgiving recipe section for some great links and more or try PartyMenu411. Activities A touch football game, what else? Well, watching football, decorating football cookies, talking football, football trivia and all that. Have some mini-megaphones ready for spectators and let them all be cheerleaders.
