Whether you’re known for your annual Super Bowl party or you just happen to have the biggest TV and your friends insist on watching at your place, get ready to throw one amazing get-together with these Super Bowl party ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Game grub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone says they’re gathering to watch the game, but we all know the real reason people attend Super Bowl parties \u2014 the food! Keep your menu simple with easy-to-eat finger foods and delicious party snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create your own concession stand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every good spread needs an assortment of drinks, chips, dips, and crunchy snacks. Sure, you can throw it all on a table and let people have at it. But if you really want to impress your guests, we dare you to build out an epic snack stadium<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some heartier food options, you can’t go wrong with a nacho bar<\/a> at your Super Bowl party! Crockpot Super Bowl recipes are another easy choice if you want to set it and forget it. Some BBQ pulled pork or buffalo chicken sliders<\/a> would be super easy to make and oh-so-tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

\"Snack<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Make it a party effort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take some pressure off yourself and turn your menu into a collaborative effort! Organize your game-day party as a potluck and ask each guest to bring a dish. They can all be different, or you could have a cook-off in the spirit of competition. Have everyone bring their take on chicken wings, BBQ sauce, or chili, and then put them to a vote!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Offer the food of your people<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you don the apron yourself or seek outside help, put a unique spin on your football party foods. Try incorporating some specialty dishes from the competing cities. Do a little research on their local cuisine and let the cooking begin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\ud83d\udc9a\ud83e\udd85\ud83d\udc99 Seahawks fans, bring a piece of Pike Place to your party with seafood snacks like Dungeness Crab Cakes<\/a> or Easy Cedar Planked Salmon Dip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u2764\ufe0f Please the Patriots fans with appetizers inspired by Boston staples like Mini Lobster Rolls<\/a> or Boston Baked Bean Dip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd0e\ud83c\udfc8\ud83d\udc9a Since variations of clams and seafood are popular for both hometowns, you can’t go wrong with some Clam Chowder Potato Skins<\/a> or fresh oysters for mixed-fan company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Or, leave it to a professional! <\/strong>If you’d rather not ask your guests to bring anything but aren’t confident in your culinary skills, hire a\u00a0caterer<\/a>\u00a0to whip up all kinds of game-day<\/span> snacks for you and your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sweet treats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Football games tend to last longer than the food usually does, which means people will be ready for something sweet by the halftime show. Get creative with some festive football-themed treats for all those sports fans with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bake delicious goodies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cookies and brownies are a fun and easy choice for your Super Bowl party desserts. With some icing and a cookie cutter, football-shaped brownies<\/a> are on theme and delicious. Or, buy team toppers for a tray of cupcakes or add some food dye to simple chocolate chip cookies to support your team<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chow down together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can’t go wrong with sweet snacks you can grab by the handful. A football twist on classic “puppy chow” would be perfect for your Super Bowl party guests. Keep it brown and green<\/a> for a general game-day theme, or do colors for the teams<\/a> playing in Super Bowl LX. This is a great way to promote camaraderie rather than rivalry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Game day drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water, Gatorade, and soda will go great with your game-day grub, but you might want to have a few more fun options for the adults. Get in the “spirit” with themed cocktails and beers at your Super Bowl party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Serve some cold ones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating the big game has essentially become “a beer holiday.” Use those research skills to determine which local microbrews are the most popular in each team’s city. Most craft beer stores will carry an array of beers from all over the U.S. (and beyond). Track down your team’s brews and serve them cold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\ud83d\udc9a\ud83e\udd85\ud83d\udc99 Seattle’s own Elysian Brewing has themed beers like “The Noise” and the 12th Can that are staples for Seahawks fans. Their Space Dust IPA is another popular PNW beer that’s widely available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc99\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u2764\ufe0f A classic choice for Patriots fans that’s available nationwide would be Samuel Adams Boston Lager. For a more specialty beer, look for Cisco Brewers’ “Forever New England” gameday IPA. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Take your beer up a notch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since you’ll likely have a bunch of beer on hand, here are some easy “beer” cocktails you can whip up for your Super Bowl party guests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\ud83c\udf4b Radler:<\/strong> Half Wheat beer or Pilsner with half lemon soda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7a Black & Tan:<\/strong> Half pale ale or lager and half stout or porter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc0d Snake Bite:<\/strong> Half lager and half hard cider<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc12 Brass Monkey:<\/strong> Wheat beer, a shot of orange juice, and a dash of bitters<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Add some liquor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Super Bowl Slammer<\/a> is a super-easy cocktail from Simple Joy. 3 ingredients? Can’t complain about that! You can even use white duct tape to add “laces” to your glasses for a perfect game-day look. If your crowd is a little rowdy, try\u00a0Jell-O shots! Make them in team colors to be extra festive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf78 Go all out:<\/strong> Hire a bartender<\/a> to mix up creative game-day cocktails, like a Mahomes Mojito or a Hurts Highball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Field prep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throwing an awesome Super Bowl party is pretty straightforward. If you’re going to have fans of both teams at your party, staying neutral is probably your best bet. Although this year, you could do a navy blue theme to accommodate both teams. You can find plenty of Super Bowl party decorations at your local party supply store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Craft some decor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you fancy yourself to be a DIY-er, there are a lot of awesome DIY football decor ideas<\/a>. Use green paper and white tape to turn your tables into football fields, and create football-themed snack bags from brown paper bags. Finish your table decor look with “challenge flag” and “penalty flag” napkins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Support your team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Incite some friendly rivalry with decor specific to the team you’ll be rooting for in Super Bowl LX. Test your crafting skills with a DIY project for homemade decorations. Or, shop on Etsy for balloons, banners, and more. If you’ve got a mixed crowd attending, keep things friendly by throwing up a few items for the opposing team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\ud83d\udea9 Create a DIY banner<\/a> using your team colors to hang on the wall or across the front of your snack table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf88 There are tons of Etsy shops<\/a> that offer unique balloon creations for whoever you’re cheering for!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get in the spirit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cheering at the Super Bowl absolutely requires wearing your team’s colors and logos! Why not get your nails<\/a> in the spirit, too? Stick with generic brown and green, or use your team colors. You can also go all out and hire a face painter<\/a> to help you and your friends get your game faces on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the big game will be your primary focus, it’s good to remember your Super Bowl party is, well, a party! Give your guests a break from food and football with some exciting entertainment. You can plan a pregame celebration, host halftime games, or include fun activities throughout the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Play some games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of ways to keep everyone entertained! Plan a few Super Bowl party games<\/a>, like rating the Super Bowl commercials or Super Bowl trivia, to play throughout the game. You should also capture your team spirit and special memories with an interactive photo booth<\/a> and football-themed props<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Host a halftime show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you really wanna go all out and have the budget to do so, turn your party into a full-out event. Rent an outdoor movie screen<\/a> to stream the game in the backyard and have your very own live pregame or halftime show. Hire a local cover band<\/a> to perform a short set, or have a DJ<\/a> spin some tunes while everyone mingles and loads up their plates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Overall, pleasing your football-fanatic friends is pretty simple \u2014 keep them well-fed, have the drinks flowing, and ensure your TV and surround sound are up to the task. But throw in a few of the unique ideas mentioned above, and your party will be talked about all the way through the offseason. Just go ahead and plan on hosting again next year! \ud83c\udfc8<\/p>\n\n\n\n
