When you are trying to throw a party, you want to make sure that everything is so perfectly put together that people strive to make a party even half as good as the one that you threw. But in order to accomplish this goal, you have to have a few things in mind and a few tools to help you set everything up. Take a look at these things that will help you through the best sports-themed party.
Make sure you have themed banners and flags
This is step one. If you are having a sports-themed party, you want to make sure that you have the following items to decorate your home and furniture with:
- Sports banners with the design of the sport
- Flags with team names
- Stickers of the object that the players use in this specific sport
- Plates, bowls, and cups in the theme of the sport that you are basing the party theme on
Once you have some of these things from this list that fits the kind of party that you are trying to throw, you are ready to move on.
Decorate the room in your home that best fits the sport
One of the biggest things that you need to think about is not exactly how you are supposed to decorate, it’s more about where you are going to decorate. What I mean by this is, you have to know the setting before you can decorate. If you’re having a Kentucky Derby horse race party and you have a room with interior barn doors, that’s the room that you need to decorate. The decorations will match better if the room layout matches the theme of the party.
While it isn’t necessary to have something in the room that matches the aesthetic of the sport that you’re making the theme of your party, it does help set the mood a little bit better. Not everyone has the option to do this, that is why it isn’t necessary. But if you are looking to throw the best of the best, this is where you should start.
Make sure there is a TV area where you can watch the sport
If the sport that you are basing your party on is going to be on TV, there is no reason why you shouldn’t take the time to watch this sport with all of your friends and family that you have with you at this party, whether it’s a local school football game highlight reel or a game of major league baseball. This is something that you should take the time to watch. The party wouldn’t really make sense otherwise.
If you have the space, set up a mini version of the sport in your backyard or around your home
If this is a sport that you can easily recreate with a ball and a bunch of friends, then you should definitely do it. Nothing gets people in the mood to celebrate a sports-themed party like having fun with friends by playing the sport. If your friends aren’t really the active type, set something up for all of the kids to do. This is a fun-for-all-ages event; make sure there is something for everyone to do for fun.
Make the menu themed towards the sport
If you really want to step things up to another level, you could create snacks and foods that are designed to look like things in the sport you are celebrating. Things like basketball cupcakes, football donuts, or sugar cubes if you are watching the Kentucky Derby. These things are easy to create at home if you have the right tools available, but you can also go to your local bakery and have these things specifically made for your event so you don’t have to worry about putting too much together by yourself.
Wear costumes
Get more festive and fun by having everyone dress up. Whether you want to put on a football uniform, or dress like a referee, there is always a way to bring dress-up into the event when you are throwing a party based on a sport.
