Its Super Bowl Sunday!! Whether you’re rooting for the Indianapolis Colts or New Orleans Saints, the day is sure to have four main ingredients: great food, great company, great entertainment, and a great atmosphere. Why not draw some inspirations from the biggest football day of the year? Here are some subtle ways to incorporate a football-inspired wedding day.. and it just might make your fiancé more willing to help you plan! ;o)
Instead of the traditional rice throwing, have your guests blow whistles as you exit as the new Mr. and Mrs. It might not look like you’re at the Super Bowl, but it will sure sound like it!
If you and your fiancé have a team that is special to the both of you, show off your team pride! You could use the team colors as your wedding colors or put your team emblem on your wedding cake. For a more understated visual, some couples opt to get team garters, which are sold online.
If you have a cocktail hour, draw food ideas from your Super Bowl parties. Everybody loves wings, mini hot dogs, nachos, mozzarella sticks, etc. – these are perfect finger foods to enjoy before the main meal. If you want a more gourmet menu, there are ways to spruce these classics up. Perhaps substituting fried mozzarella balls or chicken kebobs would do the trick.
For a very subtle way to incorporate football (or any sport, for that matter) without compromising your elegant wedding, get rid of the table numbers and name the tables after your favorite teams. This is a fun way to show off your love of sports. Another great way to use football names is to name your drink specials accordingly. Everyone will be talking about the “Tonic Touchdown!”, “Blue Brees”, or “Malibu Manning”. Just use your imagination!
These are all fun ways to bring your wedding to a whole new level of fun. Whether you want to go all out or show off your spirit just a little bit, these ideas will make for an awesome event that will have guests talking long after the final quarter is over. =)
Have fun!
