It’s the biggest day in any football fan’s life. Superbowl. For many men & women, it’s the culmination of several month’s hopes, dreams and wishes! As a native Coloradoan, I bleed orange & blue & I’m glad my Broncos are in the big game! And if you are like some of my friends, a football-themed wedding featuring the Denver Bronco colors of orange and blue is the perfect way to celebrate their beloved football team going to the Superbowl & their love for each other as well.

A wedding is like a superbowl in many ways. You prep for about a year for one day of amazing energy and excitement, the people there are deeply invested in the outcome & a legendary one will be talked about for years to come.

(Melissa’s note: Carolina Panther & other sports team-loving couples can also plan the perfect football wedding by searching for specific color to check out their team-colored banners, confetti & tableware. How awesome

Here are the five essentials for an eco-friendly Valentine’s Day tea:

1. Keep it simple

A tea or brunch doesn’t have to be extravagant to be a lot of fun. Sometimes simple is best and more enjoyable for everyone! For your décor, focus on a few key areas and do them really well. Pick a color scheme and stick with it, accenting with a few colors to make it all pop.

Super Bowl Party Invitations and Decorations

First things first, most Super Bowl parties don’t involve paper invitations, so you haven’t wasted any paper yet. Just in case, send an email invitation and your guests can have your address right on their smartphone without having to print off a map.

Consider easy ways to “green” your decorations. My favorite is both a game and a decoration - penalty flags. You simply wrap a yellow napkin or cloth square around a ping pong or quarter-sized amount of beans, tie it off and throw it if you see any football or party fouls! You can make other decorations too. Consider turning your party platters into edible decorations, decorating some old soup cans for utensil holders, even hang your favorite jerseys next to the television. Everyone will appreciate the ingenuity and you haven’t wasted money on streamers, tablecloths or plates that will be outdated before the morning rolls around.

February is here and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. February 14th is also one of the more popular days to get married. After all, what better time to declare your love for your sweetie than on a day completely dedicated celebrating Love itself. I personally think Valentine’s weddings are lucky. My mother and father were married on Valentine’s Day forty years ago and they are more in love today than when they married. =o) I know there were many other factors which contributed to their loving success but I believe starting their life together in such a romantic way definitely helped. Here are some easy and eco-chic ways you can incorporate the traditional Valentine’s icons into your big day!
