Plenty of Space. Make sure you have lots of space to host your Super Bowl party. You need to evaluate your home and decide if it will hold the people you plan on inviting. Even if you aren't' inviting lots of people, you will need to make sure people have plenty of room to stretch out and relax. Have plenty of comfortable seating. With the extra commercials and extended half-time your party could last as long as five or six hours. You don't want to spend that time being crowded together.

Football fanatics. If you want a good party, you want to invite those people who really love the game. It's already tough to watch the game if your team is out of the playoffs, so don't invite a group of people who really don't care about the game. You want those fans who get into the game and will root for someone, even if it's not really their team.

Halftime Entertainment. Every year the Super Bowl has some mega star perform during halftime. Unfortunately this performer is not always as entertaining as the networks want you to believe. You need to have a plan for entertaining your guest during halftime. Great board games are an idea. A great discussion can keep things going. If the weather cooperates you could throw the football around in the yard. Whatever you do, have a plan for keeping guests entertained during halftime.
