UCLA
Bruins game day field! For those that are planning much of
their party space outdoors, take some standard white sidewalk
chalk and draw some of the lines on a football field directly
onto your cement patio or driveway space. You won’t be
able to get the whole field in, probably, but drawing a few
of the yard marks can still have a huge impact on the overall
decorating space. This is especially effective for outdoor
spaces because there never seems to be enough decorations
to thoroughly cover an outdoor space (with all of the wide
open space in view.)
Take
photos of each guest during the party, preferably alone. As
thank you cards, create football trading cards using the photos
that you took of each guest. It’s an inexpensive, yet
impressive parting gift and thank you card for attending the
party!
For
a fun tablecloth, cover the table with white butcher paper
and paint a message right on the paper - something like GO
BRUINS!
Get
the kids involved and make a paper chain using the UCLA Bruins
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!
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.
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.)
