Have you wanted to throw a Super Bowl Party but you aren’t sure you can make it as Super as the game? Do not fear, I will give you 5 tips to make your party epic! We love to host parties and events at our house and everyone leaves our party happy and full. Ok enough chit chat, lets do this!
The Eats
Food is the SINGLE most important part of a killer Super Bowl Party! Do not mess this up, but how do you know what to make? There is one sure fire way to make sure that there is something EVERYONE will like. Can you say “Pot Luck!” Pot Luck is the best way to make sure there is a huge variety of food and something that every guest will eat. In addition to saving you time from cooking and making sure there is nice variety of foods and snacks it will also help you save a ton of money!
A golf buddy of mine has a chili cook off each year for the Superbowl, I would strongly recommend against this. Chili is delicious, but it doesn’t make for a lot of variety and most people will clear out after half time due to exhaust fumes. For our Pot Luck Party we assign families either an entree or an appetizer and something sweet to bring. Telling them what to make really takes the pressure off them, so don’t worry about being bossy. We do make a couple entrees and side dishes of our own and trust me that is way better than trying to make a gazillion things. Want some Super Bowl Recipe Ideas?
I recommend shopping for Super Bowl food at Walmart to save the most money. Use their Price Match Policy to get other local grocery store deals all in one place. If you aren’t familiar with Price Matching I can teach you!
Refreshments
We provide all sodas and make a few sparkling drinks, our favorite is raspberry lemonade with sprite. We don’t buy any alcohol for our parties. There are two reasons, the main one is that we don’t drink alcohol and the second one is that you make sure everyone gets home safe. If you do drink and choose to have alcohol I also recommend telling people to bring what they want to drink. People tend to be pretty picky about their libations, so let them bring their own. It is also a great way to keep the cost down. If you are going to provide adult refreshments there are sure to be great sales Super Bowl Weekend that you can price match!
Notice that I didn’t say TV’s or Big Screen, I said “Big Screens!” I know not everyone has 2 Big Screens, but I live in Texas and pretty much everyone down here does. One in there garage and one in the house. I haven’t been able to convince Tiffany to let me put one in my garage yet, but I really want to. Right now is a great time to buy a Big Screen, there are a ton of sales and last years leftovers that you can find marked down.
I recommend Walmart and Best Buy for the best deals. Big Screens are defined as 55″ and up, your secondary TV can be 47″ or so but I wouldn’t go any smaller. You will have guest complaining that they are straining their eyes and they can’t feel the impact of the hits. More importantly people will not be able to see all the Super Bowl Commercials.
Decorations
Since the Superbowl is the final two teams most people don’t have a team in the game. If this is the case then I think it is fun to split the room up so fans can pick a side. Families may be divided but that’s okay, this is the Super Bowl.
Now, if you happen to have a team in the game then you should take the “NOT IN MY HOUSE” mentality and put a black & white 19″ TV in a closet and label it the “Loser Room” for the other team’s fans.
The Guests
Come one, Come All! I personally invite about 2 times as many people as I really want there. You will have people that come and go, so don’t worry about fire codes!
My family is a bunch of yogurt eating fools, I literally can’t keep it in the house. I am printing this $1.00 off any Yoplait Yogurt Multipack coupon and grabbing a few of these. Any time I can grab yogurt for under $.20 a cup I am all over it!
Yoplait Kids 4 Pack: $1.78
$1.00 off any Yoplait Yogurt Multipack coupon (Zip Code 77477 if you need it)
Total: $.78
If you have more of an adult taste or want the bigger pack you can score a great deal on the 12 pack or the Yoplait Greek Yogurt 4 packs.
Our kids play with Playdoh almost every day, it is one of their favorite times of the day. I used to dread Playdoh time and would actually hide it from them because I didn’t want to clean up the mess and I got really frustrated when they mixed the colors.
I am not sure what happened, but one day it just kinda clicked for me and I realized what a moron I was being. It literally takes 5 minutes to put away 10 cans of Play-doh, I bought to myself “Really Paul, you don’t waste 5 minutes on something stupid that you could put aside to clean up some playdoh.” How many times a day do we do something like that, I know for me it is too often.
As for mixing the colors, WHO FREAKING CARES!! They don’t. Why should I? It can be a little frustrating when I want to make a green dinosaur and he is now a rainbow and not ferocious at all, but I just have to deal with it!
I guess the bottom line is that I need to re-prioritize my time a little bit, ever happen to you?
