Event Planning San Diego – Super Bowl Weekend – A Great Reason to Have a Party

Posted on January 04, 2021

Super Bowl weekend is 5 weeks away, and you know what that means — time to plan a Super Bowl party! Almost everybody’s going to watch the Big Game, from rabid sports fans to people who only want to see the commercials and halftime show. The Super Bowl is as much a sporting event as an opportunity for all of America to share an experience together.

The Super Bowl provides the perfect opportunity to get your family and friends together for a party at home, where you can watch the game on your big screen TV, nibble on snacks and enjoy a range of drinks. Super Bowl wouldn’t be a Super Event without having an awesome party. If your guests aren’t keen on football or sports to help get them into the spirit of the Super Bowl, having a party is a great excuse just to get together and have fun. Here are a few suggested ways to throw your Super Bowl party at home

Super Bowl Decorations:

Hanging banners and streamers throughout the room, scatter real or inflatable footballs around, and dangle football-shaped balloons from the ceiling. Let team colors dictate your party color scheme.

Coolers, buckets, or small tubs for drinks:

If you have space, get a few small containers and fill them with ice to keep beer and other drinks cool. Place them in strategic spots so guests won’t be constantly getting up and going to the kitchen for a refill.

Ice:

Keep plenty of ice on hand, more than you think you’ll need. You’ll not only want to keep your drink coolers full, but non-beer-drinking guests may want to add ice to their beverages, too.

Beer:

Stock up on an assortment of bottles and cans to keep everyone happy.

Soda or other non-alcoholic drinks:

Don’t forget about the non-drinkers in your group, or those who just want to take a break in between brews.

Bottle openers:

Invest in a few of these so your guests won’t have trouble hunting one down; the fewer distractions from the game, the better.

Food:

Serve a mix of items to satisfy everyone, and go for both finger foods that are easy to pick up and eat—think sandwiches, chips and dips, wings, and pizza—and heartier fare like chili and barbecue to balance out affair. Make sure you have plenty of food; guests will want to replenish often during the game. It’s best to set up a buffet table off to the side where people can load up on main-course items, then have several smaller tables in the TV room with snacks that people can nosh on during the game.

Plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery:

If you’re going the disposable route, choose sturdy items that can hold up to heavy fares like loaded nachos, pizza, and chili. Now is definitely not the time to break out your best china.

Serving platters, trays, and bowls:

Pick up inexpensive football-themed items to add to the fun. Just make sure you have enough serving pieces for all the snacks you’ll be setting out.

Napkins:

You’ll need lots of these for wiping messy fingers and greasy spills throughout the game.

Seating:

After food and drink, this is the most essential element of your party. Make sure you have enough seats in front of the TV for everyone who’s attending. Putting out throw rugs or blankets and scatter some large pillows is also a nice touch and adds to a casual atmosphere.

 

SO… if you are leaning towards having a Super Bowl party, you need to make your lists now to get things going to make Super Bowl Sunday a fun event for all your family and friends.
