No matter who you're rooting for (or even if you're just tuning in for the commercials and/or the half-time show!), we have you covered on 7 easy and creative ideas- from DIY decor projects to signature cocktails- that will help you throw a super party! Set, hut, HIKE!
1. Team Spirit Party Decor
Go Sports! Seriously though, some of us ladies love football. We’re split on this issue here at Makeful, but we ALL love throwing themed parties. Encourage team spirit with a few easy team-themed party decorations. Streamers in your team’s colors is a quick and simple way to decorate with a lot of bang for just a little buck. Use craft paper and markers like Mad in Crafts did to make spirited signs, and designate food, drink, and game areas throughout the house.
2. Re-fillable Glassware and Cups
It’s so helpful to have refillable drink containers for everyone at the party to minimize trash and clean up (and keep it eco-friendly!). Hostess With the Mostest got super creative with a little tape to turn mason jars into mini footballs to keep with the game day theme. You can even make custom straws so everyone can keep track of which cup is theirs.
3. Party Game: Commercial Bingo!
No matter who you’re rooting for, everybody wins when watching super bowl commercials! And for those who might be more into the commercial breaks than the game (no judgement here!) you can download these awesome free printables from Julie Blanner’s Lifestyle Blog and pass ‘em round! Have a fun prize for whomever calls Bingo first and get the whole gang involved.
4. Finger Food: Snack Table Edition
Finger food is essential for throwing a successful gameday party. DUH! People will (hopefully?) be standing up and cheering for their team, which is difficult to do sitting at a table with a full plate in front of you. Small plates and finger food to snack on throughout the day is the perfect solution. Set up a table to the side like this one from PearTree.com with bite-size snacks that people can graze from for the whole game.

6. Game Day Dessert: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Footballs
