Get Ready for Game Day: Game Time Snack Station

We’re a couple weeks into the season and my husband is having fun sharing his new found love of Football with our boys.  We love a party so we decided to put together a game time snack station with the help of Family Dollar, Pepsi, and P&G brands to keep everyone fueled.   

Family Dollar made it simple to pickup a few football favorites and get out in time for kickoff. Once I got home the snack station came together very quickly with a few key snacks and easy DIY decor items.  P&G brands helped with the messes: Bounty for game time and Dawn for post-game cleanup, while Pepsi provided the munchies (Quaker & Tostitos) and the thirst quenchers (Diet Pepsi).   

Putting together your own game time snack station is as easy as pulling together a few football items, printing out some great printables, and throwing them together on an inexpensive “turf”.  Here are my easy tips for a perfect Gather ‘Em Up For Game Day party.  

• Let your favorite team inspire the color scheme or go with a simple football green, brown and white.
• Use items you have on hand for a new purpose.  The granola bar and paper towel stadium seating is my spice rack.  I thought it worked perfect to add height and organize the fans.
• Use simple printable accents to add a personal touch to your snack station.  I printed a mini (2.5″ wide) version of our hometown team pennant and attached to string with washi tape. You can find your favorite team here.  
• Pick easy to serve snacks like Tostitos and salsa and these adorable mini football wrapped Pepsi bottles (printable coming).
• Have adult and kid friendly foods on hand.  Chewy Granola bars are something we all love.
• Use accents like astro turf or football bowls to add a little fun to your tablescape.   
• Download a Game Day Welcome Sign (Editable)  to greet your guests.

Giveaway: I’m so excited, P&G and Pepsi brands wants to give one lucky reader a prize pack to help them plan their family’s perfect Game Day experience.  See the giveaway widget for prize details and directions for entering.
