My nephew turned five over the weekend and my sister had the most adorable party for him again this year!  Graham is really into sports right now, football in particular.  In order to keep the taste level more to their style, my sister went with an old-school collegiate football theme.  It turned out so adorable! Graham was so excited about the football theme!

There was pizza, a bounce house, and candy-filled pinata for the kids.  And an open-bar tailgate in the driveway for the moms and dads.  She also left football playing on several tv's.  She's figured out the perfect formula for children's parties.  Keeps everyone happy and entertained! 

So sad we missed this party!  

What are your best kid's party tips or tricks?  Do you order all the food or use printables so you can focus on the fun parts.  Do you get a bounce house or other activity brought in?  Or do you prefer a more DIY approach?
