Re: 1st birthday????

  • I'd make it like a tailgate- tailgate and stadium foods.  Serving pieces like fields or football items.  Look for superbowl parties for inspiration.  For a cake you could do a field with goalposts (easy to DIY) then have a football shaped cake for a smash cake.  Or you could do cupcakes with footballs on top.
  • I agree with PP about Super Bowl inspiration and with the tailgate food.

    I like the idea of a big green table cloth with white stripes where all the food will go.

    I also think that pennats are a nice touch.  Maybe with the bday boy's name on them?

    Good luck.  Love the theme!

  • Don't worry about games.  He's too young, and you're going to have your hands full with everything else, trust me.  

    Here's the menu from our little man's birthday this past October:  http://jaimecooks.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/carter?s-first-birthday-party/

    The "monster munch: could be converted to whatever team colors you wanted to do  The cookies could be footballs very easily.  To make it even easier, you could make a chocolate cookie dough, subbing some of the flour with cocoa powder, and then just ice the laces onto the football shaped cookies.
