Looking for some inspiration for a sports themed party? Below are ten ideas:
- Provide classic looking popcorn bags with popcorn, cracker jacks, roasted peanuts, or other sports stadium-themed snacks
- Put Baby Ruth candy bars in a glass jar or bowl on the food table
- Make baseball, basketball, or soccer ball cupcakes
- Use paper plates, napkins, and cups to fit your theme (check the dollar store or Walmart)
- Serve hot dogs in paper hot dog holders (check the dollar store or Walmart)
- If you want some healthy food options go with orange smiles, grapes, apple slices, banana halves, and other “soccer mom” go-to’s
- For drinks provide either Capri Sun, Gatorade, or Coke/Pepsi products
- Scatter Starburst candies on the serving table or eating tables with printouts or sports cards of different sports stars (like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Pele, etc.)
- Play a sports trivia game about sports players, regulations, field dimensions, etc. You can think up your own 10-15 questions, print out a paper for each of your guests to fill out, and whoever gets the most questions right gets a prize
- For background music, play “Space Jam,” “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” “Glory Days,” “I Believe I Can Fly,” “Centerfield,” “All Kinds of Time,” “Eye of the Tiger,” and other classic sports songs
