Kick Off with a Winning Invitation

Start the celebration right with our editable Football Birthday Invitations. These templates are easy to personalize with your child’s name, party details, and team colors. For milestone first birthdays, the First Year Down! Invitations adds a fun twist just for turning one. Choose from several football-themed invitation styles to get your guests excited for game day.

Game Day Decorations Made Easy

Our football printables include two fantastic collections:

• Football Birthday Bash (any age) – Includes your choice of several invitation designs, a customizable “Happy Birthday” pennant banner, welcome sign, cupcake toppers, favor tags, treat bag toppers, and more.
• First Year Down (1st birthdays) – Features a “First Year Down” banner, “ONE” high chair banner, monthly photo banner, welcome sign, and baby milestone sign, your choice of invitations —plus many matching extras.

Both collections include editable 8 x 10 unlimited sign templates, a library of football themed editable graphics (easily match your team colors), non-editable graphics, and space to upload your own photos. With 25+ items in each collection, everything matches perfectly for a pro look at home.

Fun Food with a Football Twist

Use our printable food labels to tie snacks into the theme. Try these for a fun and tasty menu:

• Field Goal Franks — (aka Pigs in a Blanket) mini hot dogs in crescent rolls
• Touchdown Tacos — hard or soft shells filled with your favorite “game day” fixings
• Gridiron Guac — guacamole in a football-shaped bowl
• Penalty Flag Popcorn — yellow kettle corn

Themed labels and custom signs make your food, dessert and drink tables look polished and help guests know what’s what.
