As
the host or hostess to the party, it’s important for
you to dress the part as well. Go all out on dressing in Carolina
Panthers colors and mascot prints. As an alternative, especially
if there will be fans of the opposing team (on game day),
consider borrowing a referee’s shirt from a friend who
volunteers through a league or city recreation center.
Check
for upcoming sales at your local fabric store (Joann’s
is great for having 40% off coupons that come in the mail
to those on their mailing list.) A variety of fabrics in the
Carolina Panthers colors can be purchased. Sometimes you can
even get lucky to find images/prints that will also work within
the theme. The fabric can be used to swag on windows and over
tables as part of a tablecloth display. Cutting the fabric
into small squares will also provide for amazing napkins!
Even
if your party will be held indoors, use large coolers as part
of your decorations. If they do not have the Carolina Panthers
logo on it, it’s easy to print out the logo from your
computer and tape it directly to the cooler!
For
fun goodie bags, visit your local fabric store and pick up
a couple yards of fabric in the colors of the Carolina Panthers
(sometimes they will even have team prints.) Joann’s
is a great resource if you are on their mailing list - a great
time to cash in their monthly 40% off a single item coupons!
Quick and easy sacks can be sewn from the material and tied
at the top with bright colored ribbon (in team colors.) They
are quick to make and you’ll be so proud to pass them
out to your party guests as they leave!
Play
a few rounds of football themed Bingo. This is a great activity
to play while watching the game during commercial time or
every time someone scores during the game. You can either
create your own boards or download some HERE.
Get
your hands on some wrapping paper in Carolina Panthers colors
(it would be even better to get some official Carolina Panther
print, but not necessary.) Wrap up some empty boxes in the
wrapping paper and use as table top decorations throughout
your party space. They will add volume to your party decorations
and fill the room with team colors. For the more ambitious,
consider wrapping very large boxes like those from appliances
found behind major department stores!
When
purchasing team print napkins and plates, pick up an extra
package of each and use them for decoration! They can be some
of the least expensive and festive decorations you can use
for your party. Napkins that are unfolded can be hung up,
place inside clear bowls for centerpieces and taped up just
about anywhere. The plates can be hung from the ceiling and
the walls. It’s a simple idea, but a great way to add
volume to your decorating without breaking the budget (see
below for team print napkins and plate options.)
