The Holy War

We love any reason to have people over and party. One of our favorite reasons is for the holy war, BYU vs. The U. This football game is always a huge rivalry and who doesn't love a rivalry?! Rob attended BYU but didn't really care too much about them until he married me! We had to pick a side and we mostly chose The Y just to root against our cousin Z, a die hard Ute fan. Ever since we have started to fall more and more in love with our cougars! We had some friends over to watch the game and of course we needed some decor. What side do you choose?!

The Prep.

Yes, Bear has a cougar jersey!

All of the decor was super easy and cheap. I had felt to make the banners and red and blue streamers in my fourth of July box. I bought the Y and U letters and wooden footballs on sale at Joanne's. 

The BYU packaging tape came from here and University of Utah duct tape here. I would recommend this BYU tape instead though, easier to work with.

 I just taped them around mini gatorade bottles from the dollar store. I got this idea from It will Change Your Life, she has a wonderful holy war party she posted about.

The Y print I found on pinterest but can't seem to find it now.

I made the Utes print in photoshop.

For the twisted streamers I used the most awesome fringe scissors by Martha.

So much fun , rise and shout the cougars are out! GO BYU!
