Football Watch Party Ideas
1 — DIY Football Drink Stirrers
Add a little extra spirit to your game-day drinks with these easy DIY Football Drink Stirrers! They may be just for looks. But paired with a pineapple beertail, they bring the perfect festive touch to your football watch party.
How to make DIY Football Drink Stick Stirrers:
1 — Simply hot glue a mini football to the top of each drink stirrer.
2 — Let them cool completely, then pop them into your drinks for an instant game-day upgrade!
2 — DIY Yard Line Pizza Boxes
Want to give your pizza a game-day upgrade? Instead of serving in the standard pizza box, try dressing up plain white gift boxes (or rectangular pizza boxes, if you have them!) to create your own DIY Yard Line Pizza Boxes. It’s a simple, creative twist that makes your food table feel like part of the field.
Materials needed:
How to make DIY Yard Line Pizza Boxes:
1 — Using your ruler and marker, draw evenly spaced lines across the top of the box to mimic football field yard lines.
2 — Optional: If you’re confident in your handwriting, add numbers to the lines for extra detail (or keep it simple if lettering isn’t your strong suit!).
3 — Letter Board Display
And last but not least, let’s talk about one of the easiest (and cutest) ways to display your game-day menu: the ever-popular felt letter board! Technically, it’s not even a DIY (unless you count popping plastic letters into felt crafting). But it’s such a simple touch that instantly levels up your football party setup.
We scored ours on a mega sale at the local craft store. But you can easily find them online too. The best part? They pair perfectly with football-themed décor, like our DIY football coasters and turf placemats. Here are some fun, football-themed phrases you could put on a letter board menu display for a football party:
- Huddle around for the snacks
- Touchdown treats
- Official game day menu
- Halftime adjustments: Grab more Snacks, refill drinks, repeat
- Score big with today’s menu
- Halftime = snack time
- First Down: finger foods
- Sip, snack, score!
- Tackle the pizza
- Wing zone ahead: Side note — If you will be serving wings, check out our lemon pepper seasoning recipe.
- Dip it like it’s hot
