A Super Bowl Birthday Party

For the die-hard football fan who was fortunate enough to be born in early February, a Super Bowl Sunday birthday party may be just the right theme. For those looking for birthday party ideas for such a celebration, here are some guidelines for the food, drinks, decorations, and the gifts to make the Super Bowl birthday festivities a roaring success!

Food Offerings

Traditional football fare such as cold-cut sandwiches, nachos, and pizza are great selections and will translate well to a birthday party. Other snack foods like meatballs, a cheese tray, or a crock pot full of barbecued pork are also good. Be sure to provide plenty of carbohydrates, meat, and cheese. A football crowd is usually not interested in petit fours and watercress. Keep the food warm, tasty, and simple. The attention will be on the game, not the culinary artistry.

Drink Selections

If everyone at the party is an adult, consider purchasing a keg of beer of the honoree’s favorite brew for the birthday celebration. If a full keg is too much, a half or quarter keg might be a better option. For non-alcoholic drinks, keep a wide variety of sodas and juices on hand. As much of the food can be salty, there will need to be plenty to drink! It’s also a good idea to purchase disposable cups for use during the game, as glasses can be overturned during the reaction to a particularly bad call!

Decorations

Most party stores have a huge selection of football themed tableware, balloons, streamers, banners, and table decor. Mix the football theme in with some birthday accessories, and the party space is ready for a Super Bowl birthday party extravaganza! As most eyes will be on the television screen, focus on making the food table and the entrance inviting. There’s no need to go overboard.

Gift Considerations

Buying gifts for someone who loves football is great because there is such a huge variety of items available. Team logo shirts, hoodies, and jackets are available for every team in the NFL, as are shot glasses, stemware, bedroom slippers, towels, ashtrays, and books. DVD highlight reels and documentaries are also very popular. In most cities that have an NFL team, shops exist where everything is branded with the local team’s logo. Stop in and browse for birthday gifts!

Throwing a birthday party on Super Bowl Sunday is one of the best birthday party ideas for a rabid football fan. By keeping these ideas in mind, the party is sure to be low-key and fun for both the guests and the honoree!
