FOOTBALL WORLD CUP PARTY IDEAS

With the Football World Cup games kicking off, the entire world is becoming football crazy. Whether it’s sitting down with your friends in front of the TV with a few snacks or you’re arranging a huge garden party to view the game, I’ve put together some simple ideas to get your party ‘World Cup ready’.

The World

Use a world beach ball as your centrepiece with foliage to keep it in place.

Grass Iced Cupcakes with Chocolate Footballs

Using a grass piping nozzle and green coloured buttercream icing. To make the icing you can use the same recipe from my Funfetti Vanilla Cake icing (I would probably half the recipe though if your just making 24 cupcakes or less) and add a drop of green food colouring.

Food Description Cards

You can cut shirt shapes from plain white paper and colour in the different flags or team football kits. Another way of doing this is, you can print out the countries flags that are participating in the tournament and cut out shirt shapes. Use these as name place cards or for food descriptions at your buffet table.

You could have this outside on your patio or even in your lounge. However, I would love to use this idea as a tablecloth!

You can send your guests their ticket to your party – football style. Personalise the ticket by naming the stadium. You can use either your surname or road name so in my case it could be The Tucker Stadium.

If you would like to keep it simple but to have a touch of football fever then just go for a grass runner down the centre of your table.

Use white tape or paint to make the markings like there would be on a football pitch. To add to the theme you can always use football plates.

Dessert Buffet Table

Keep to green, white and black theme with all the desserts to give it a classic look for a football theme. Add some glass jars filled with sweets too!
