You know I love any excuse to throw a party! While I'm not a huge football fan, my husband and family are so I'll take care of the decor and party food and they can watch the Big Game! Today, I am sharing easy football party decor and three recipe ideas for the Big Game. They're sure to make your party a hit! All three simple snack ideas include Orville Redenbacher's® popcorn that you can serve at your party.
Easy Football Party Decor and Recipe Ideas for the Big Game
I picked up our Orville Redenbacher's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn for each recipe from Walmart. We love serving easy foods such as dips, meatballs, cheese and sausage platters, wings and pizza at football parties along with a snack mix and some sweet treats. For our three recipes usingOrville Redenbacher's popcorn, we are featuring a sweet and salty caramel popcorn football field bar, a parmesan ranch popcorn snack mix, and a chocolate shaped football popcorn ball. Popcorn is such an easy snack to serve, it really is a no brainer!
We loveOrville Redenbacher's popcorn because they don't use artificial preservatives, flavors, or dyes. In 1952, Orville Redenbacher'spicked a select few to grow their same special kernel that pops lighter and fluffier than ordinary popcorn. Their Movie Theater Butter Popcorn is SO good just on it's own, but also great to use in recipes. It's our girls favorite!

Big Game Party Decor Ideas
For our football party decor, we centered it around our food table. We used a green table cloth as the backdrop, along with a balloon arch (see tutorial here). I added football tassels that I made with tissue paper and construction paper. How adorable is this table cloth that looks like turf?! I see a lot of fun backdrop photos with this cute table cloth! We used some fun football cups, plates, napkins, green straws, green flatware, footballs, football picks, etc. For an easy DIY, I took brown paper lunch bags and used white chalk pen to draw football laces on them. These are great for putting your snack mix or popcorn in for guests to carry around with them. There are a lot of really great Big Game party decor items out in stores right now, so you should be able to find everything easily. I'll add links below to as much as possible!
