For
fun Missouri Tigers theme party invitations, consider disguising
your invitations not as invites to your party but rather to
a Missouri Tigers game. Replace all of the usual information
for the game with the date and time for your party!
Get
the kids involved and make a paper chain using the Missouri
Tigers colors. Cut the construction paper in strips and loop
each strip, connecting the ends with either staples or tape.
Have fun coming up with different combination of colors alternating
in groups or every other loop. It’s inexpensive and easy
and they look great!
If
you are planning on several different games (or a single games
where the players are earning points) don’t call them
‘points.’ Instead, refer to them earning ‘yards’
just like in a football game. The winners will be those that
get 50 yards from the 50 yard line to make a touchdown!
Here’s
a fun game for those more adventurous guests. Ahead of time
boil lots of boiled eggs (two for each guest) and provide
one NON-hardboiled egg for each guest. Pair up your guests
and explain that they will each get three eggs cracked on
their heads…TWO of them with a football helmet. They
get to choose which egg will be cracked over their head (by
the other partner in the pair) without the helmet. The trick,
of course, being to make sure that you are wearing the football
helmet with the egg gets cracked (which will end up getting
their partner messy instead of them!)
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.
A
great kids game (and for more energetic adults) is to have
each player lay on the ground wearing full football pads (all
of them.) When you say GO, the party guest wearing the full
pads must stand up and lay back down as many times as they
can in one minute. This is tough to do WITHOUT the pads, with
the pads it’s even more crazy!
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.)
