Printable Football Party Invitation
; "Pinterest"){kind=small}
Football party invitations are handy year-round, whether it's for a children's football-themed birthday party, for a college football bowl game, or a Super Bowl party. I came up with a versatile invitation that works for all of those occasions, and has the added benefit of being interactive, too!
To get started making your own, just download our free printable football party invitation template.
Once you've downloaded the template, print it onto white cardstock. You'll need to print one copy for each invitation you want to make. Then use some fine-point scissors (our favorite is Cutter Bee) to cut out the two pieces of the invitation.
Now flip the field part of the invitation so that it's face down on the table, and take the football part and place it on top. This is just a temporary placement, and you're just doing this so you can see how much room is on either side of the football.
Put a strip of double-sided tape on each side of the back of the field, and along the bottom. Make sure that there's plenty of room for the football in between the tape, without touching it. (Our super sticky double-sided tape sheets work really well for this.)
For the back of the invitation, you'll need another piece of cardstock, cut to 5" by 6.5". I used white, but you could use brown, green, or even the colors of your favorite team if you'd like.
If your double-sided tape has backing (mine had a red liner), now is the time to peel it off.
Then flip the field piece over, and stick it right in the middle of your background cardstock.
You should have a nice little pocket formed, and the football should slide right in behind the goal posts.
Isn't that so neat? I love it! Just stick it in an envelope and you're ready to go.

I love this football invitation. I won't be using it in the typical football party way. I'm getting married and we are having a Peanuts theme. So I will only be using the football part for reception invites. Thank you!!
