Superbowl Party Ideas

Hooray Hooray!  My team is heading to the Superbowl!

Which just so happens to fall thisclose to my *ahem*  30somethingish birthday.

Could it be time for a PARTY?  A Superbowl Birthday party?!

If so, here's some inspiration from a few fabulous blogs I stumbled upon.  {Okay, I found them on Pinterest.}  Don't have an intervention for me yet, please.  I can stop, really, I can.  Soon.  Sigh.  It may be time for a Pintervention.  Anyways, it's time for some...


First up, the FOOD.  How about some Baked Southwestern Egg Rolls?

A nod to my new life here in Philly, the land of soft pretzels:


And I love me some popcorn.


I'm a huge cake person.  Literally, I'm huge because I love cake.  This double chocolate football cupcakes are a must.

But these cupcake holder are pretty fabulous, too.


Or maybe... football CAKE POPS?  But I'd make the Oreo Truffle version, I've learned it's so much easier.

And some fun and festive decor, of course.  Love the turf table cover (the whoopie pies are just a bonus):


The pennant straws?  So cute!


Easy Football Garland, the kids (okay, just Noodle) could SO help with this:



Wouldn't my little roundball be adorable in this football onesie?


And my football-ette, Noodle, in this?

What's that?  You want to know which team I'm rooting for?  Promise you won't make fun of my totally awkward self-portrait?

I hate having my picture taken, no lie, so this is BIG, friends.


BOO-YAH!  Go Patriots!

Who did you cheer on this season?  Anyone else rooting for the Patsies?  It's going to be a GOOD game, may the best team win.  And by best team, I mean the Patriots.

XOXO,
Carrie

  1. LOL @ your huge cake person comment. We don't follow pro football, but I do love any excuse for fun snacks like this! ;)

  2. The Patriots??? You are a Lady Brady fan? I'm not sure about this, lol. Since we root for the Skins in our house I guess I will be cheering on the Patriots too (just this one time) since I despise the Giants more. Great round up of goodies!
