The FIFA World Cup™ is not only watched by die hard soccer fans, but also by those who never watch soccer, making it a game that brings people together, especially families and friends. With that said, throwing an ultimate FIFA World Cup™ soccer party will make watching and celebrating the game together that much better! Who doesn’t like to eat with family and friends while rooting for their favorite team?
Food Ideas
Food is a necessity during game watching and is very easy to dress up in the theme of the party. If you want cake pops, consider making the pops in the shape and colors of soccer balls. Get rock candy and add print-out flags to one end to represent the team your family and friends are rooting for, or go full FIFA World Cup™ themed and add flags from all countries participating. Mini sandwiches are also an easy way to apply the theme: stick toothpicks with flags on them through each mini sandwich, which holds the sandwich together as well as showcases the theme.
Decorating/Tablescape Ideas
Dressing up your home to the theme of the FIFA World Cup™ is quite simple. Bunting is a great way to spruce up the space, especially with flags of different countries; you can also reuse the bunting for future sports related parties. Go with colors of the teams your family and friends are rooting for, a general multi-country theme using different flags and colors, or use the traditional white, black, and green soccer colors, representing the soccer ball and the field, for the ultimate soccer party look.
Party Favors
If you’re having guests over, consider giving party favors. Bottles with sports drinks or water will keep guests and kids hydrated, as well provide them a little gift that they can reuse in the future. Soccer balls are also a great gift idea, since they motivate kids as well as adults to be active and play sports. You can also provide Vuvuzelas, which are well liked by kids – the noise maker is often used at the FIFA World Cup™ by fans to root even harder for a team.
Go all out for the FIFA World Cup™ this year by throwing a soccer party that will surely help you score points among your family and friends.
