Are you ready for some Football? Throwing the ultimate Super Bowl Party doesn’t have to break the bank account. You can spend under $100 between food and utensils just by thinking a little outside the box. We got a bit carried away with pin-spirations to throw a Super Bowl party that will win your guests over until next year! For more ideas, check out our Super Bowl Party Pinterest Board
Snack Stadium
Center a foil baking pan (9 X 13) on top of one large baking sheet (at least 13 X 18). Assemble various veggies, fruits, cheeses, chips and pretzels around the baking sheet. In a separate 9 X 13 baking pan, layer guacamole dip in the center (football field) with your choice of other dips on each end of the guacamole (end zones). Optional: use sour cream to create yard lines. Place the filled 9 X 13 baking pan with the dips in the empty baking pan and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Fruit Salad Football Helmet
Slice the watermelon 4 inches from the top (from the stem) of a round watermelon. Set the smaller piece aside. Make a curved cut on the larger piece of melon from one side to the other. Hollow out the fruit of the melon, with an ice cream scoop. Cut the smaller piece in half. Draw a mouth guard on one half, using a marker to draw 4 rectangles (two on each side). Cut the shapes out with a paring knife. Remove the flesh from the smaller piece and pop the rectangles out. Carve a small piece out off the stem (mouth guard) so the helmet rests flat. Place mouth guard piece on a plate.. Place the helmet piece on top, using toothpicks to hold the two pieces together. Fill with fruit salad.
Football Imitates Food Decor
Use thin white duct tape to create football laces on brown lunch bags. Fill each brown bag with chips, pretzels, peanuts or party favors and display on the football field table.
Use the same thin white duct tape to create football laces on mason jars. Fill the jars with Iced tea or Dark Cola and display with green and white paper straws.
Clean out three empty tin cans (canned food tins work great) and completely dry them out. Cut brown construction paper to fit around the cans. Tape the brown paper around each can. Use either white out, white marker or paint to create football laces on the paper. Once dry, place plastic spoons, forks and knives inside each can and display on table.
Use galvanized buckets to display yellow or red napkins. Place a chalkboard sticker on the buckets and write “Penalty Flags” on the sticker. Display napkins with utensils.
Football Field Table
Cover a table with a green plastic table cloth. Adhere the ends of the plastic cover underneath the table, so it’s very tight. Run stripes of either masking tape or white duct tape across the green plastic table cover to create the yard and end lines. Optional: Adhere scrapbooking number stickers along the sides of each yard line.
Soda Can Field Goal
Create a field goal as the center of your table decor with clean soda or beer cans. Stack two empty soda cans on top of each other, using hot glue to adhere. Repeat this step twice, so you have 3 stacks of two cans each. Stack three empty soda cans on top of each other with the hot glue and set aside. Lay the long (3 cans) stack flat. Hot glue one 2 stack at one end of the 3 stack and another 2 stack on the opposite end. Next, glue the remaining 2 stack, underneath the center of the 3 stack. This is the base of the field goal. Once the glue is dry wrap yellow duct tape around the cans leaving the last can at the base free. Wrap a large tin can in black duct tape. place the field goal bottom inside the tin can and use sand or small pebbles to weigh the field goal down. Display the field goal in the center of the food table.
