Super Bowl Planning Tips
The average Super Bowl game is about 4 hours plus 30 minutes before the game. I have some tips to help you decide how much to earn:
- How many different appetizers: If you have less than 10 guests, offer 2-3 different types of appetizers. If you have more than 10 guests, add a dish for every 5-8 additional people.
- how much per person: When appetizers are the staple of the event, you’ll want to plan on serving about 10-12 pieces per person for a two-hour party. After that add about 5 pieces per person per hour.
Try to balance the type of dishes you choose. Mix warm and cool, light and heavy, protein and produce. Change colors and textures.
Keep an eye on sales. Grocery stores often cut back on your favorite game day foods.
Prepare as much food as possible ahead of time so you have more time to get other things done during the day.
Throw the ultimate party
Here are some tips to help you plan the ultimate Super Bowl party:
- Decorate the team colors with ribbons and balloons. If you have dual supporters, decorate half the room for one team and the other half for the other team.
- There are top coats, foam fingers, caps, etc…
- Let the noisemakers celebrate touchdowns.
- Invite children? There is a separate area for children to play. Play an age-appropriate movie to grab their attention. Do a football-themed coloring sheet or other activity.
- Most importantly: Make sure everyone has a seat and a clear view to watch the game. This means that you may want to determine how many people you can comfortably seat, and then invite accordingly.
