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 New
York Jets 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.
If
you’ll be watching the big game as part of the party
(or AS the party) have a New York Jets hat that gets passed
around the room each time the Jets make a score of any kind.
Each time they score, it gets passed to the next party guest
who has to wear the hat until the next time the Jets score.
At the end of the game, whoever is wearing the hat wins a
prize!
For
a fun tablecloth, cover the table with white butcher paper
and paint a message right on the paper - something like GO
JETS!
Football
equipment make for great party decorations - helmets, shoes
and balls make for a great table centerpiece arrangement.
If you are planning on such a table centerpiece, for fun use
a standard turf outdoor doormat for the foundation of the
centerpiece!
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 New York Jets colors
(it would be even better to get some official New York Jets
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.)
