Reid's Superbowl Birthday Bash

I can't believe my Little Mister is now 2! His birthday this year actually fell on Superbowl Sunday so we decided to have a Superbowl Birthday Bash! It was actually a lot of fun decorating for the party and the kids and adults had a great time.

I found this baseball tee at Old Navy on clearance and decided to use it as his birthday shirt. It's sporty and I loved the colors! I appliqued a varsity style number "2" to the front and back of the shirt.
I found the perfect invites to match my colors and theme on Etsy. I loved how they looked like a ticket and the details were too cute. Check out cioprints for great DIY invites. I had her double them on page so I could cut costs and print them at Kinko's. Printing and cutting cost $6!
For the decorations, I got some great ideas on Pinterest. I decorated all my tables with astroturf we bought at Home Depot for around $16. It was enough to cover my dining room table, buffet table AND round kitchen table. It added a fun football element to the party and was actually cheaper than buying fabric or tablecloths.
Another Pinterest idea was PVC pipe to make a goal post. It was cheap and easy and I placed it in a plastic bucket from Party City, filled it with sand and covered the top with astroturf. On either side were mega phones, again from Party City with foam footballs I picked up from Dollar Tree. We also used white masking tape to add lines to the astro turf to make it look like a real football field.
I also covered my buffet table with astroturf and placed the cake and party favors on it. I took two foam boards and covered them with navy fabric and hung a DIY birthday banner from Paiges of Style on Etsy. I added pom poms to either side.

The cake was from a good friend who makes cakes on the side. I literally showed her a picture on Pinterest and she recreated it! And it was DELISH!
For party favors, I wrapped in cellophane bags a football whistle, a bouncy football, a football shaped party blower and a green lollipop.
Here is the birthday boy getting ready to blow out his candles! Happy happy birthday, Reid!!!

What a great party! I love your son's shirt, the cake and how you used astroturf on your tables. Very cute party! I bet he had a blast :)

We just celebrated my son's 3rd birthday with a tractor party. Hard to believe how fast he's growing up!
