Down, set, hike! What better way to celebrate two football-loving brothers than with a backyard football game and training camp party? This party had all the elements to make even the toughest football friends smile and completely wear-out every single sports-loving party guest.

The Party Table The scene was set with football balloons and a giant game day backdrop.
Heavy duty football-shaped paper dinner plates held party guests' gameday food. The two birthday boys' favorite teams were represented with New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks paper napkins. You can find party napkins for just about every NFL team here.
Felt football helmets were a great addition to the party table. They come in a variety of colors!
The hit of the party table was the Watermelon Football Helmet fruit bowl that I created. To be honest, I was a little intimidated at the start of this food project. But I have to say - it was surprisingly easy! Check out my step-by-step instructions for how easily it came together.
These fun football lollipops disappeared very fast!
A galvanized tiered tray held game day snacks like party mix and peanuts. I love using these clear candy scoops for serving up party snacks.
The Drinks A big cooler full of ice and drinks was essential at this backyard football party.
The boys played hard in non-stop football games and constantly visited the inflatable football field cooler which was stocked with Gatorade® and water bottles. Every last beverage was gone by the end of the party! Backyard Party Decorations High-top tables were decorated with black and white striped table coverings, pom-poms, and sunflowers.
Football game spectators were able to relax on quilts, watch the action, and toss footballs for fun. 
Backyard Football Training Camp A fun corner of the party offered the guests to participate in Football Training Camp. See my full post on the setup and activities included in this fun party area.
The Football Game Every legitimate football game needs a referee and a referee shirt to make him look extra official!
The football games did not disappoint! See my full post on how the DIY Backyard Football Field was created. This was such a fun and energetic party - the perfect birthday party theme for a bunch of football loving boys!
