We love celebrating the Super Bowl each year, especially when our favorite teams are playing. Whether you're a year-long football fan or not, you likely still enjoy the Super Bowl and are probably even attending a party that day. If you're having friends over for the game and need some unique DIY Super Bowl party ideas for food and decorations, we've got a bunch of DIY projects to share with you.

Set the mood with unique football invitations

Let your guests know they are in for a treat with a fun invitation. Our free printable football invitations include an interactive element — the football slides behind the goal posts — that will delight your guests when they receive it.

Style your food table with free football party printables

The easiest way to add some fun to your football party decorations is with paper goods on your food table. With our free football party printables, you can decorate your beer bottles, cups, and straws, and even create cute popcorn boxes for guests to easily snack while watching.

To make your own party ware, just download our free football party printables and print whatever pages you need.

This set includes wrappers that work for beer bottles or water bottles, popcorn boxes great for serving snacks, and straw flags for a fun touch to your drinks. And if you print the round shapes right onto Avery 2" round labels, you can peel them off and stick them to cups, plates, or just about anything.

Create a football field table runner for your buffet

Underneath all those party printables and food, why not decorate your table with a football field runner that looks like artificial turf? It's easy to make one to fit your table, following our football field table runner tutorial.

Serve lots of yummy snack food

And of course, you need lots of yummy snack food at your party. We've got tons of recipe ideas to share, and some of our favorite football snacks are dried beef roll-ups, homemade kettle corn, chipotle brownies, and Elote Mexican street corn. And don't forget our personal favorite — Chica's bold and spicy Chex mix — which is perfect served out of the printable popcorn boxes.

If you want to serve cupcakes at your party, why not decorate them to look like the helmets of the competing teams? With our football helmet Cupcake Collars and a little colored icing, you can transform plain cupcakes into something really special.

What's better than a soft pretzel bar? One that also acts as decor! We decorated pegboard to look like a football field and then we made the pretzels look like footballs. 

Decorate the space with a giant football field

Your table is set, but what about the floor? Nothing sets the stage at your Super Bowl party like a giant football field, and we've got a great tutorial for making a giant football field rug to decorate your party space.

Adorn the walls with football field pennants

The walls are another area that are easy to decorate for your party, and if you've got any scraps of turf leftover from the rug project, put them to good use by creating football field party pennants to hang everywhere.

For one last small touch of decor, you can make adorable little footballs out of wood biscuits from the hardware store with our wood biscuit footballs tutorial. These make a great garland for stringing along the food table or your TV.
