Soccer Party Ideas!

Get the team together with custom invites

When soccer teams have games, it's important to send a schedule out to make sure everyone knows when and where to play. Make sure that your guests know the important details about your party by sending out Soccer Custom Invitations. Add a message like: "Score! It's a party! Come celebrate Daniel's birthday!" Party City will ship your invites to you within five days. Sprinkle a little Soccer Confetti inside each envelope, add a Sticker to the outside, and they're ready to be sent out!

Give guests a special soccer party pass

Kick off your party just right when you send out Soccer Tattoos inside your Invitations. Make a note telling your guests that they'll need to wear their tattoos as a "secret pass" into the party so you can tell that they're not with the opposing team. Add a pinch of Soccer Confetti to give your invitations some extra fire.

Hand-deliver your invites with a soccer favor

Soccer teams plan special events just for team bonding – so make sure that your team bonds with great favors! If you're hand-delivering your Soccer Invitations, tie Bracelets to the envelopes with Black Curling Ribbon. These pre-party favors have great game-time sayings on them and will make every guest feel like a part of the team even before the party starts.

Send personalized soccer custom thank you notes

After the game, each team always shows their good sportsmanship. Teach your little player how to be a good sport by having them send out Soccer Custom Thank You Notes. Add a note like: "Thanks for helping me with the big win!" Just order them along with your custom invitations and Party City will ship them out within five days. Finish each note with a bit of Confetti and seal each envelope with a Sticker.

Add photos for memorable thank you notes

Say thank you with an action-packed photo! Have your birthday boy or girl send out Soccer Thank You Notes. In each friend's thank you note include a picture of the guest posing with the Soccer Photo Prop at the party so they remember their fun day even better. In each envelope, add a pinch of Confetti for some extra kick!

Kick game time off with a soccer pinata

Soccer players spend a lot of time practicing their skills, but need time to enjoy the game, too! Have your little ones play pinata to give them a fun-filled game break. Start with a Soccer Ball Pinata or a Trophy Pinata and fill it with all sorts of goodies that players will cheer for. Use favors like the Multi Sport Super Mega Mix, Sports Erasers, Soccer Bounce Balls, Soccer Whistles and Yo-Yos. Make sure to add something sweet like Soccer Mints or Super Bubble Gum. Let each player take turns pulling strings to open the pinata or wearing a Blindfold trying to break the pinata open with a Pinata Bat. Be sure to give everyone a Soccer Party Bag to collect all their prizes.

Practice their skills for the big game

If your players have a lot of energy to burn, then set up an outside soccer activity that will allow them to move the ball around cones and put their soccer skills to the test. First find a great spot of grass outside and set out Plastic Cones, then let the kids take turns dribbling around the cones. Make sure to cheer on all your teammates when its their turn.

Get them movin' with a game of Musical Chairs

Get your soccer stars activities started with a game of Musical Chairs. For this classic party activity, line up chairs back to back for all but one player. Station an adult by the stereo with the Soccer Party Music CD. When the music begins, the players can dance, walk or even jog around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone sits; the person without a seat is out. Remove one chair each round and continue until only the winner is left.

Award your team's MVPs

After all the games are finished, it's time to give the winners great prizes that they're sure to get a kick out of. Give out a Soft Soccer Ball, Finger Soccer Game, Spring Soccer Ball and a noise-making Giant Hand Clapper. Whichever prizes you choose, you're sure to cause extra excitement!

Make their cups overflow with soccer goodies

Here's a great and easy way to make a favors. Start with a Soccer Party Cup and line the cup with Green Crinkle Paper Shred. Top your cups off with favors like Soccer Pencils, Sports Erasers, Soccer Bracelets with fun phrases labeled on them, Soccer Bounce Balls and something sweet like Kiddie Mix Candy. Slip each cup inside a Clear Party Bag and tie the top closed with Royal Blue Curling Ribbon.

Pack up original containers full of soccer favors

After a big game or tournament, the team usually gets something to remember the game by. Give out unique favor containers at your party to help everyone remember what a good time they had.

• For a soccer party, we suggest Favor Balls, Favor Buckets and Folding Favor Boxes in coordinating colors.
• Whichever container you choose, decorate the outside with Soccer Stickers and line it with Green Crinkle Paper Shred.
• Now add some stomping soccer favors to your containers like Soccer Bounce Balls, Sports Erasers, Sports Bracelets, fierce Tattoos, fun Whistles and Soft Soccer Balls. Also, add a little bit of Kiddie Mix Candy to give your favors a sweet kick.
• For taller containers, consider adding Soccer Pencils.

Let them dress in a special uniform

A team jersey is a soccer player's main outfit when they are on the field. Let your little one dress like they are ready to take the field. You can pick up a soccer jersey at your local sporting goods store or if your birthday child already plays on a team, then they can wear their own jersey. You can also give them a Jumbo Award Trophy to show off during the day. Your birthday child will feel just like they've scored big on their big day.

Pick awarding accessories that are sure to score

If your birthday child already has their own outfit picked out for the party, you can accessorize them in a a Happy Birthday to Me Award Ribbon. This award ribbon will give their outfit a winning edge.

Give their teammates soccer accessories

Make a kickin' cupcake tower

Your birthday child and their teammates won't be able to resist a cupcake tower you've made especially for them. Bake up the birthday child's favorite kind of cupcakes in Silver Baking Cups and frost them. Make sure that you've added Sugar Sprinkles and Soccer Icing Decorations to each tiny dessert. Set out the cupcakes on a Silver Cupcake Stand. To make the birthday child feel extra-special, add Happy Birthday Soccer Candles to their cupcake.

Your little ones will love getting creative as they decorate cupcakes in a fun soccer style. Before the party, bake a couple batches of cupcakes in Silver Baking Cups.

Have Soccer Cake Decorations around for those who want to add a little something extra to their desserts. Pass out Soccer Dessert Plates for each child to work on and let them start creating their masterpieces! Make sure to have plenty of Beverage Napkins handy.

Carbo-load for the big game

All your teammates are the MVPs of this party – so make sure to create a feast that will re-energize them and get them ready for the rest of the game. Make a fun snack plate full of carbohydrates like pesto pizza with olives arranged to make your pizza look like a soccer ball, grapes, orange slices and granola bars. Serve your meal on Soccer Lunch Plates with Lunch Napkins and Yellow Forks.

Quench their thirst

After playing a game, soccer players get thirsty from all the running they do. Make sure your little ones don't run low on fluid. Set out a Soccer Bowl filled with ice and add some fruit juice boxes. Also set out a pitcher of water, Soccer Cups and Curly Krazy Straws for them to put their drinks in. Keep Beverage Napkins around for any messes.
