Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, do you have your plans already? Regardless of team affiliation or sports knowledge, the Super Bowl offers everyone a chance to enjoy a fun afternoon in front of the TV with friends. If you happen to be hosting this year’s gathering, don’t worry, that includes you too. Use these Super Bowl party tips to ensure that your focus can be game, rather than the party itself.
Embrace the Theme:
Falling full-tilt into a sports theme will help your friends get in the game day mood from the moment they walk in the door. Head to the dollar store and pick up some decorations for the day. Invest in some hanging flag banners or an Astroturf-style tablecloth. If you have footballs, helmets or other paraphernalia, wash them off and repurpose them as a centerpiece. In the event that your team is playing, use their colors as a backdrop.
Go Buffet Style:
Since the majority of the day will be spent focusing on the TV, buffet-style is the perfect choice for your super bowl blowout. Stock the table with a variety of finger foods that people will be able to eat with and minimal concentration. Don’t forget to offer plenty of wet naps as well. In terms of menu, aim for All-American classics: wings, stromboli, chips and dip, etc. Consider doing a potluck, as well, to maximize variety while keeping your workload manageable.
Encourage Friendly Competition:
Just because you and your guests can’t be at the game doesn’t mean that you have to be separated from the competition entirely. Keep everyone entertained by offing a few simple party games. Printable super bowl bingo sheets are widely available online or take bets on the game’s final score. Offer the winning guests small prizes and encourage a little friendly rivalry to keep things interesting.

Create Two Party Areas:
While Super Bowl Sunday is undoubtedly about football, there are bound to be a few guests at your part who aren’t all that invested in the game. Cater to everyone’s interests by offering two distinct party areas: one where the game on TV is king and another where it is quiet enough to sit and chat. Just be sure to establish a flow between the two party zones, so that people can come and go as they please.
These tips are enough to get any gathering off to a good start. However, there must be other ways to put this year’s celebration of the top. If you have a great Super Bowl party tip to share, let Stagetecture know in the comments below.
