Today I’m going to share everything you need to know about planning a Home Bowl party. You've cheered for your team all season long -- what better way to end a great year in football than with a home-based celebration with other football fans you know and love? Bring your game face and your appetite and we'll do the rest!
First things first lets begin with our location! A home bowl is a great way to welcome old and new friends into your home. The decor should match the theme but also have a very inviting feel that would make any guest want to make themselves at home! Football elements can be added through out your home as well. I loved the color palette that was sent over to me and I knew I wanted to use it as much as possible, so that was my starting point. I also knew that I wanted every aspect of the table design to incorporate decor and items that I'd never used before so viewers would have fresh inspiration. I love all things rustic and vintage, so I chose to go with a rustic-themed football Home Bowl party. I wanted to showcase my designs in a room that also had a very rustic feel and sort of a masculine energy to further compliment the football elements. Since Coca-Cola® is such a timeless company, I knew right away that I would be able to score some vintage finds with featuring their products to display the fun glass bottles. I wanted to think of a fun way to display the product without simply setting it down in its existing packaging. Crates were the perfect solution for beverage display. I also wanted to add another timeless element while also incorporating Cola-Cola®, so I decided Coke floats were an absolute must-have. I wish I had one right now!! I've also went with a natural wood backdrop for my focal point, along with a simple burlap table cloth. Along the front of the table, I added ribbon banner. These are a great way to dress up a table. The options are endless when throwing your own Home Bowl party!
I love the idea of leaving your hostess with a parting gift! It’s such a nice gesture and especially nice if his or her team is not the winner! Nothing beats custom in my book. It’s an added bonus if the personalized item is reusable! I wanted a way to really incorporate the products I was asked to showcase. A custom football-themed cookie jar with NABISCO products inside was an easy winner. Once football season is over you simply remove the fabric for a classic look or go crazy and create your very own theme!
I hope these tips have been helpful for your football-themed events. I encourage you to create your own for this year's Big Games. Enjoy!
