It's Game Time!!

It’s that time of year again! Super Bowl Sunday! Even if you’re not into watching the game, it’s a great excuse to host a fun gathering! How can you resist good times with friends and family, an overload on food & drinks, an awesome half time performance from The Black Eyed Peas, and those infamous commercials!

Here are some tips on how to throw a fun and cost-friendly party…

Decorations:
Instead of buying napkins, plates, and balloons with team logos on them, which could easily get pricey, decorate your party with team colors! Black, gold, and white for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and green, gold, and white for the Green Bay Packers. Balloons and streamers are always fun! Another way to make your party more festive is to display some props like footballs, helmets and pom poms!

Food:
Want your friends to rave over your appetizers and compliment your culinary skills? Here are some tips on how to make typical super bowl foods, like pizza and burgers, look fancy with very little effort!

Pizza
Order a few large cheese pizzas and using a round cookie cutter, cut out small pieces of pizza and garnish each piece with some fresh chopped tomatoes and chopped basil. Our inspiration for this dish came from easyrecipes! 


Sliders
Serve the fanciest most modern sliders! We love this dish from Better Homes and Gardens!


Baked Mini Corn Dogs 
This recipe from The Food Network is delicious!!


Games:
The “Football” game! Hand out football pins as your guests arrive. Whoever says the word “football” must give up their pin to the person who catches them. Whoever collects the most pins at the end of the day, wins!

Or you can play trivia games! For example…
Q: Which football player did Kim Kardashian date?
A: Reggie Bush
Suggested Prizes: a football or a Super Bowl XLV mug.

Hope all of you find these tips helpful! Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone! Make it a safe and memorable one!
