Super Bowl Super Party

THROWING A COLLEGE-BUDGETED SUPER BOWL PARTY JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES Super Bowl 50 is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate your favorite team than by throwing a football-themed celebration? With stadium décor, ice-cold beer and Super Bowl commercials, you can host a party that is sure to have you dancing in the end zone. With that in mind, here are some affordable Super Bowl party ideas that are sure to make your guests feel like MVPs.

The Games Before the big game, you can play games of your own. Have your guests gather for a pregame football game on an empty field or set up lawn games such as corn hole or ladder ball. During the festivities, you can also craft DIY Super Bowl bingo or TV commercial score cards.

Finally, as your guests arrive have them write down their predictions for the winning team and/or scores and give the winners a football-themed prize at the end of the game!

The Food You can really get creative with the finger foods at your game day get-together with football-shaped cookies, spicy buffalo wings and mini burgers. You want a menu that makes getting back to the game before the next play easy, which means the food should be portable and delicious. A walking taco bar is inexpensive, fun and only uses a few ingredients. Grab bags of Fritos, Doritos or chips of your choice and crush them in the bag. From there, add lettuce, cheese, sour cream, taco meat and other taco toppings. Put a fork in the bag and you have a quick Sunday-Funday recipe!

The Drinks You won’t want to fumble your drinks during the most important game day of the year, which is why we’re here to help.

For a variety of beers, you can ask your guests to bring different styles of beers like stouts, porters, ales and lagers. For the designated drivers, serve up a variety of sports drinks in the team’s colors and finish them off with football-shaped ice cubes.

The Decorations Decorating might be the last thing on your mind when planning a Super Bowl party, especially because it can be expensive. To make things simple, find balloons, cups, plates and utensils that match the teams’ colors and go from there. If you want to get fancy, you can always make a DIY football banner to hang on the walls.

If you have a few bucks to spare, this food stadium can really transform a table into the ultimate snack station. Don’t forget to provide your guests with plenty of comfortable seating for optimal football game viewing.
