World Cup Soccer Party Ideas
1) World Cup Party Decoration
International flags are a must for a World Cup soccer party. You can hang an international flag banner on the dessert table or around your house, or get hand held international flags. Make it even more World Cup themed by displaying only flags of the 32 teams that are competing in the World Cup this year.
Add colorful balloons for a pop of color! You can use a mix of vibrant colors or choose a team to cheer for and use the colors from their flag. Balloons are essential if you’re looking to make an impression for a World Cup soccer party or any soccer themed party.
Get a trophy or a few to display. The World Cup is an international soccer competition of men's national teams that compete to become the sport’s world champion. Whichever team wins gets awarded the title of the world’s champions and the prominent World Cup trophy. It is likely the most popular sport event in the world, drawing billions of television viewers every match.
Piñatas add vibrant color and can be a beautiful yet fun soccer decoration to any soccer party, including your World Cup party – it’s a fun World Cup soccer party decoration idea.
2) World Cup Party Food & Dessert
The most important part of the party is usually the food or dessert. Create a dedicated section or table for the food and dessert. Use international toothpick flags to decorate your food and desserts. If you’re in the mood for something extra special, get custom-made desserts such as cupcakes, cookies, or a cake that has World Cup decoration on it, international flags, or soccer balls – or, all the above!
If you’re throwing a World Cup soccer birthday party for kids, add candy jars or popcorn bags which can act as decoration.
Go festive and have food from a country of choice for guests. If you’re cheering for Mexico have a taco bar, pretzels and beer for Germany, baguettes and croissants for France, or sushi for Japan. You can also ask each guest to bring a traditional dish from a country of their choice for a World Cup potluck party.
