As February approaches, so does the single biggest sporting event in the American calendar. If you have the honor of hosting your friends for the game, you should definitely start stocking up on Super Bowl accessories and supplies now instead of waiting until the last minute. You’ll save money by planning ahead of time and save yourself the trouble of stressing in the days leading up to the party.
Preparation is key, and simplicity should be your mantra. You don’t have to repaint the house to impress guests. All that is necessary to liven up the event is some small considerations as well as plenty of food and beer. Buy some football-themed paper plates, napkins and cups to get people excited for the game, and hang some streamers or banners up with your team’s colors.
There is no doubt that your friends will be coming hungry, so don’t fall short on food. Your local grocery store will undoubtedly be having sales on chips and soda, so stock up about a week beforehand instead of having to deal with the rush that will inevitably hit on Saturday night and Sunday. Try ordering your paper plates and plastic cups online so you can pick specific team colors.
Stock up on plenty of beer and maybe try to mix up some fun cocktails for your friends. Also be sure to have wine and coffee at the ready for people who prefer to keep it light. The odds are there will be no shortage of sugar-addled children running around the house, so have another room setup with some video games or DVDs to keep them distracted when the game starts to get boring.
