The big game is approaching, and you’ve decided to throw a party to celebrate. So, what are some of the most crucial factors to keep in mind when throwing a Super Bowl party? The guest list is the most obvious problem. To get a good idea of how many people will attend, call, email, or send invitations to your potential guests ahead of time. Although not everyone will send an RSVP, you can get a general idea.
You should invite a few more people to your Super Bowl party than you think will show up. It’s always better to plan for too many people than too few. You’ll have enough food, drinks, cups, plates, and napkins for all of your guests if you do it this way. Pick up some disposable party tableware in your team’s colors. If you don’t have a favorite team, you might want to get party supplies in both teams’ colors for your Super Bowl party.
When planning any get-together, but especially a Super Bowl party, seating is crucial. Having a large number of chairs may not be sufficient. There should be plenty of seating available with a good view of the television. If you don’t have any, borrowing some folding chairs is a good idea because they take up less space than other types of chairs. As an alternative, you might want to provide cushions or floor pillows.
Of course, food is important at any party, but it is especially so at a Super Bowl party. Ordinary snacks will not suffice. Instead of serving the standard potato chips and onion dip, make something a little more interesting to either replace or complement it. There are entire cookbooks dedicated to party foods. Don’t forget to look for Super Bowl party recipes in monthly magazines or on the internet.
For your Super Bowl party, consider making a large submarine sandwich, a meat and cheese tray, or meatballs. If you don’t want to prepare these foods yourself, you can order them. Making a sub sandwich is simple. Take a large loaf of unsliced French or Italian bread and split it lengthwise. Lettuce, meats, and cheeses go on top. Because some people don’t like or can’t eat condiments, onions, tomatoes, and other trimmings, serve them on the side.
When throwing a Super Bowl party, don’t forget to provide a wide variety of cold beverages as well as plenty of ice. Even if you have an ice maker, it may not be able to keep up with demand, so pick up a bag or two of ice ahead of time. If you serve alcoholic beverages at your Super Bowl party, keep in mind that you may be held legally liable for your guests after they leave your home. Make sure no one is driving while inebriated. Ensure that your guests have a good time by ensuring that they arrive home safely after the Super Bowl or any other party.
