Food: Fueling the Fandom
Stadium-Inspired Snacks
Elevate your snack game with stadium-inspired treats. Think nachos, pretzels, hot dogs, and popcorn – all the classics that make stadium food a fan favorite.
Jersey Cookies
Personalize your dessert table with jersey-shaped cookies decorated in the colors of the competing teams. It's a sweet touch that adds a personal connection to the game.
DIY Snack Stadium
Take your snacks to the next level by creating a snack stadium. Use trays and bowls to mimic a football field, with different snacks representing players on the field. It's a showstopper that also keeps the munchies at bay.
Games: The Main Event Off the Field
Barn Burner Cornhole Tournament
Bring the excitement of the game outdoors with a Barn Burner Cornhole Tournament. Our handcrafted wooden boards and bags add a touch of rustic charm to the festivities. With free delivery, setup, and take down, it's a hassle-free way to inject some friendly competition into your party. We can host up to 16 teams, provide prizes, and manage the entire tournament. It's the perfect way to keep the energy high during halftime and beyond.
Create bingo cards with football-related terms and events. As the game unfolds, guests can mark off the squares. Offer small prizes for those who get a bingo, and keep the competitive spirit alive throughout the game.
Predict the Play
Hand out cards with different potential plays (touchdown, interception, field goal, etc.) before the game starts. Guests can predict what will happen, and those who get it right can earn bragging rights or a small prize.
Coach's Corner: Party Planning Tips
Seating Arrangements
Ensure there's ample seating for everyone to have a clear view of the TV. Whether it's cozy couches, floor cushions, or folding chairs, make sure everyone has a comfortable spot to cheer on their team.
Halftime Entertainment
Plan some entertainment for halftime to keep the energy up. Whether it's a mini dance-off, an NFL trivia game, or a quick round of charades, having a halftime show ensures the excitement doesn't wane during the break.
Tech Check
Double-check all your tech – make sure the TV is working, the sound is crisp, and you have a backup plan just in case. A smooth viewing experience is essential for a successful Super Bowl party.
Team Spirit Photo Booth
Set up a photo booth with props and decorations representing the competing teams. It's a great way for guests to capture the memories of the day and showcase their team spirit. My favorite is the Instax line of polaroids. The modern classic polaroids are cheap and give your guests something physical to keep in their memory. Here’s a link to the one I use (Fujifilm Instax Mini 12), nothing special, but it serves its purpose. Additionally, here are some fun props that keep your photos fun. Lucky for you, this seasons matchup has similar colors!
