Football season is starting in just a few short weeks and there’s no better way to bring together family and friends than with a party to cheer on your favorite team! This Football Draft Party styled by our friend, Kristin Alber from Restyle Source for a client is absolutely amazing! As you may know, we (my family + I) are really into Fantasy Football, so maybe next year I will need to step it up and style a party for the draft! Here are some tips and tricks from Kristin to make your football gathering a huge success…

Decide on a color scheme/theme.
Whether you get creative by incorporating colors seen on the football field or go with your favorite team’s colors, incorporate them throughout the party. Use football lingo to label your favorite party snacks.

Coordinate party staples.
Make the centerpiece not just interesting to look at but useful too. Add pencils so your guests can pick squares and flags that can be waved in triumph after a big play. Not to mention a football or two to toss around during half time with the chances of winning a trophy as MVP of your game can be such a simple and fun addition. Incorporate items guests can use during the party in your design to make your football viewing party one for the books.

Send guests away with something they will love.
Get your football fans in the game with a take home box of goods they can enjoy like power bars and protein drinks. It’s a great reminder of the wonderful party you hosted that will have them throwing on a team shirt and headed back your way every season for your spectacular party. After all, it’s the small details that help create memories.

Thank you for sharing this amazing party + tips with us, Kristin!
