Inviting Guests
If you only have a couple of hours until the SuperBowl starts, and you have not yet invited anyone, make sure to do this before getting the party things ready and in place. Start by making some phone calls and letting all of your friends and family members know that you will be having a small-last-minute get together at your house. Let them know you will have food, snacks, drinks, and even deserts. In order to get more guests, let them know that if they wish they can bring other guests with them as well. If you cannot reach anyone by phone for any reason, you should send text-messages as well to let the know of your party.
Get Your Place Ready
Getting your place ready basically means turn your TV on, and make sure that it's in front of couches and chairs for people to sit at. You should also make sure to have some tables near by or to have things set up in the kitchen for easy grabbing. If you do not want your party guests to go through your refrigerator when looking for drinks, make sure to set up an ice-cooler with plenty of ice and to place all of the drinks that you will provide in there. If you have carpet, make sure to have a door-mat for your guests to wipe their feet off when coming in, or allow them to remove their shoes; this will save you cleaning time later on. You should also make sure to have party napkins all around to make sure that guests will not be wiping their dirty hands on all of your furniture. One last thing to remember is to have your restroom clean and ready for use. Make sure to provide plenty of toilet paper rolls in there, and to have hand soap and hand-cloths ready too.
Food & Snacks
- Main dish: If you are short on time, and you do not know yet what you will be serving as your main dish to your SuperBowl party guests, call in to your local Domino's Pizza or Pizza Hut. Both of them are currently running 5-5-5 deals, where you can get pizza's for $5 each as long as you order three or more. Get one pizza for every 2 or 3 people that you think will be going to your party and you will be fine. You can also get some fried chicken buckets, hot wings, McDonalds double cheeseburgers, chicken nugget buckets, and other things like that if you want. A lot of fast-food restaurants are currently running deals and specials that will surely make for fast main dishes at your SuperBowl party. Make sure to go as soon as possible to get the food, as there will probably be lines at the drive-thru's. In order to have less clean-up after your party, pick up some paper plates while you're out as well.
- Drinks: Depending on how many people you plan to invite, you can most likely get drinks for all for under $15. Visit your local groceries store and you'll find the widely promoted special of 5 or 6 twelve packs of cokes for under $15. If you plan on having alcohol at your party, make sure to let your guests know its BYOB; this will save you loads of cash.
- Snacks: Snacks don't have to be very extravagant; most people are just fine with chips and dips. While at the groceries store pick up a couple of bags of different kinds of chips and ready-made dips and have them ready to serve in bowls to pass around, or to set on tables. You can also pick up some Velveeta cheese and some canned chunky salsa, place it all in a bowl, put it in the microwave for about 5 minutes or till the cheese has completely melted, and then serve that with tortilla chips.
- Desert: Although deserts aren't really required or expected at most SuperBowl parties, you can always pick up a small ready-made football-themed cake for under $20 .
