Setting the Scene 🏟️
You can't just throw on the game and call it a day; that would be a rookie move. Here's what you need to do:
Decor: Think team colors, jerseys, and footballs. Amazon is a great place to find some budget-friendly decorations, like this set of plates, napkins and cups or if you’re wanting to go all out you can choose this deluxe decoration set!
Seating: Make sure you have comfortable seating arranged in a way everyone can see the screen. Lay out some floor pillows for the kiddos.
Sound: No one wants to miss the commentary, so make sure your sound system is up to the task. If you don't have surround sound, even a decent Bluetooth speaker like this one can make a difference.
The Snack Attack 🍕🍗
A football party without food is like siding with Scooter Braun over Taylor Swift — unthinkable! Here are some safe options that should keep everyone happy.
Wings: A staple. Period. You can do a variety of flavors to keep it interesting.
Chips and Dip: Create a dip station with classics like guacamole, queso, and salsa.
Veggies: Let's not forget some healthier options. A simple veggie platter can be a game changer.
Pizza: When in doubt, pizza is always a crowd-pleaser. Also a great option if you have vegetarians in your group as it’s super easy to just not add meat!
Drinks: Stock up on a variety of beverages, from sodas and juices for the kiddos to some adult beverages for the grown-ups.
The Entertainment 🎉
Sure, the game is the main attraction, but let's be real—sometimes it's nice to have other stuff going on too.
Fantasy Football Corner: Have a laptop or tablet ready for those who are managing their fantasy football teams.
Half-Time Games: Think cornhole, a mini trivia session based on the teams playing, or even some sports-related charades.
For the Kids: If you’ve got older toddlers or kids running around, it's nice to set up a small crafts corner where they can decorate mini footballs or color in some team logos.
The Playlist 🎵
We all know that music sets the mood. Curate a playlist that has a mix of current hits, some classic rock, and, of course, a Taylor Swift track or two for good measure (especially if you’re watching a Chiefs game 😉)
So, there you have it—your guide to hosting the perfect NFL Sunday party. Whether you're a huge Eagles fan (like me!
