Super Bowl party ideas
With just a few hours of planning, shopping and preparation, you can create an event that’ll leave your guests begging for an early invite to next year’s Super Bowl party.
Last year’s Super Bowl drew a record-breaking audience of 111 million viewers, and that number is expected to grow even larger this year. Super Bowl 2012 will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5th, with seats for 63,000 fans. For the remaining millions of fans, television and live streaming over the internet will have to suffice. But no worries, we’ve put together some awesome Super Bowl party ideas to make your 2012 football bash a party to remember. With this party planning cheat sheet, you’ve got all the drive you need to score extra points with your favorite football fans.
Menu Strategy
Appetizers: Finger foods and mini-portions are a great way to keep the fans well-fed without the need for a formal ten-piece place setting. Sliders, nachos, franks in blanks and other Super Bowl appetizers are easy to eat while perched at the edge of the couch rooting for a touchdown. And with the smaller portion size, guests can snack throughout the game without overdoing it.A great way to keep guests busy during halftime is to customize the menu by laying out a make-your-own pizza or hot dog bar. To make pizzas, set out bowls of toppings, hot and traditional pizza sauce and a variety of cheeses. Give each guest a small ball of pizza dough and they can let it fly up in a ‘hail Mary’, or just roll it out and top with their favorites. Pop them in the oven, but be sure to label with foil and permanent markers so the pineapple-tuna pie doesn’t end up with the sausage-pepper fan.
A hot dog bar offers guests a choice of regular, wheat or Hoagie buns, different types of hot dogs (include some vegetarian), fixings and condiments. Compliment this all-American menu with spicy and sweet potato fries, salad and dressings.
Vegetarian guests can enjoy crudités and dip, meatless burgers and other faux meat foods that look and taste like the real thing, but won’t offend the herbivores. Check ingredients for vegan no-no’s such as eggs, honey and dairy products, and clearly mark homemade foods for guests with allergies or special diets.
Snacks and Dessert: Have plenty of nuts, party mixes and cut-up fruits for lighter snacking. Dessert can be cookies or cupcakes iced and topped with sugared football decorations, available on Etsy, Amazon, at Michael’s and in supermarkets. You can also bake your own cake and order a custom NFL edible cake topper featuring your favorite team.
