Do you love your team almost as much as the person you intend to marry? Does your idea of a dream proposal involve a jumbo-tron? Then you are a sports fanatic! If you love sports almost as much as life, then it is only natural to want to celebrate your favorite team even as you pledge to spend your lives together. Check out these fun wedding ideas for sports fanatics.
The wedding attire is always a great place to bring in team colors or logos. While I do not recommend that the bride wear a wedding gown made out of a football jersey or that the groom don a tuxedo in Miami Dolphins aqua and orange, you can still have some fun with your team colors in a tasteful way. How about a team logo bow tie for the groom and all his groomsmen? The bridesmaids can wear dresses in one of the team colors and carry bouquets which combine Touches of all the colors. Speaking of bouquets, how about an Ohio State scarlet rose bouquet with a gray ribbon for the Buckeye bride or a vibrant tiger lily bouquet for the bride who bleeds Vols orange?
Accessories can also be sports themed. Order custom bridal jewelry made from Swarovski crystals in the team colors. (Just think how fetching the earrings from your custom bridal jewelry will look when you go to your team's games as newlyweds!) Incredibly, team logo garters are readily available for a wide variety of favorite sports teams; there are even garters made with two logos in case the bride and groom root for different teams. There are also team logo cufflinks available for the men in the wedding party.
There are many great ways to show your sports fanaticism at your wedding reception! Decorate the reception venue with linens and flowers in team colors (hopefully your favorite team does not have garish colors!) Instead of the usual place cards, write the names of guests on baseballs to set at their places or for the hockey fanatics, elegantly pen names on pucks. The menu cards can be designed to resemble tickets and the table numbers like jerseys. And do not forget to play the team fight song when the bride and groom make their grand entrance to the reception!
Food and sports always go together, so it is easy to bring the two together for your wedding. Serve elegant versions of tailgate favors at the cocktail hour, such as Kansas City barbeque sliders or LSU spicy alligator bites and crawfish. For the groom's cake, definitely go with a sports related design. It could be a football helmet, a mini replica of his favorite baseball stadium, or a cake made to look like the jersey of his favorite player. Consider personalized NFL or MLB mugs for the groomsmen gifts to get the rest of the guys in on the fun. Ask guests to sign a team jersey or game program instead of a traditional guest book.
Do not forget about sports themed wedding favors. You can order personalized golf balls, cookies made to look like footballs, baseballs, or soccer balls, or any number of other sports or team oriented gifts. Carry on the fun the next day by hosting a day-after wedding tailgate party instead of a regular brunch. What should the newlyweds wear? Personalized team jerseys with Mr. and Mrs. on them of course!
