As dessert tables are gaining popularity I added thought it would be fun to have a Super Bowl themed dessert table for your guests. Snacking a football just go together in my opinion. You can continue the rivalry theme on the table by placing treats in each team colors on opposing sides of the table. I like the idea of adding referee styled treats in the center of the table and some cheerleader cupcakes along the sidelines. You can add in items that aren’t sweet but are often found at football games if you’d like as well (such as popcorn and pretzels).

For the Super Bowl main course make it easy on yourself by having guests pitch in on bringing the food. Why not play on the competitive feeling of the super bowl by having a “Chili Cook-Off”… give a trophy to the winner of the competition that gives the feeling of the Vince Lombardi Trophy except maybe with a chili on top. I’ve added some fun resources on ways to do your cook-off, but you could make it simple as having small bowls and scorecards available to your guests. Tally up the scores during half-time.

I have a lot of fun ideas Valentine’s Day coming your way soon. But, I thought I would share some inspiration and ideas for the first February “Holiday”—the Super Bowl! 

Inspiration Boards for a fun Super Bowl party


When thinking about possible Super Bowl party ideas I originally wanted to stray away from the typical “football” party. But, then I thought…why change a good thing? If you like what you see here then, in decorating for the party, focus on improving some of the traditional parts of an everyday football get-together. I really like the use of pennants, helmets, pom poms and footballs in the whole look of the party. 

You can either go with a color scheme that reminds you of a football field (green, white, brown, yellow and the occasional pop of red), your team’s colors, or make the whole party about the rivalry of the two opposing teams.

If the guests are split in two over which team they are going for then you can play off the rivalry by splitting everything in the viewing room in half with the different team colors. You could even go as far as putting a “50 yard line” down the couch and across the floor with masking tape. Fans from one team will stay on one side while the fans of the other team stay across the line of play. Pom Poms and Pennants in each team color can be placed on each end of the “field”. I’ve found some fantastic resources to share with you that include some items for purchase and a lot of fantastic do-it-yourself projects. 

Keep checking in this week and next to see more fun Super Bowl ideas!
