91 short lines for the back of the card, 15 short verses and 13 ready-to-send texts, emails and announcements, sorted by kind of football party: game day and watch parties, funny, food and potlucks, college game days and rivalries, tailgates, fantasy drafts, playoffs, housewarming and birthday combos, office and church, family, team banquets and group chats. Every short line can go straight onto one of the free designs: pick it here and the maker opens with it on the back.
A football party invitation does two jobs. The front says what game and who is hosting; the back carries the date, the kickoff time, the place, the RSVP and one practical sentence. That sentence is where most of the lines below belong: what to wear, what to bring, where to find the tailgate, or how the draft order works. Hosting the big game? The Super Bowl invitation wording page has its own lines and poems, and the football party etiquette guide covers timing, food and guests.
