Decide on a guest list. Do you want a small or large crowd? Do you want to include children?
Keep a list ready for when guests ask what they can bring.
Plan invitations with a football theme.
If you use e-mail invites, be sure to tell the guests they must "complete the pass" by RSVPing.
If you want to make your own invites try sending guests edible football cookie invitations!
Don't leave anyone on the sidelines. If children are attending, make sure there are lots of toys and activities to keep them busy. Set up an area for them to draw, color and play board games.
