How to decorate for the Super Bowl party? ›

Stereotypical Super Bowl parties use tablecloths, paper plates, and temporary decor pieces with standard football stadium designs. They typically serve wings, burgers, and/or pizza. There's usually a lot of beer involved and plenty of shouting at the television.

Non-NFL fans — aka those just coming for the company, snacks, and halftime show — have it the easy; with no strings attached (save for a friendly wager or two), you can wear pretty much anything and everything as your Super Bowl party outfit — loungewear, denim, funky prints, or a dress. It's all fair game.

Regardless of your team, red is the standout color. If you flip through your favorite style or sports magazine this month, it is abundantly apparent red is one of the hottest hues to grace those pages.

Besides, if they're offering up their home to host you and other guests, the least you can do is bring something. Whether it be a bottle of champagne, a bag of chips and dip, your most famous appetizer, or plates and napkins, contribute something to the party and don't show up empty-handed.

"But what are people ordering for their Super Bowl watch parties?" is a question you may ask yourself because you're looking to create a game day menu. The three most popular Super Bowl dishes people order are pizza, chicken wings, and chips with dips.

The Super Bowl may technically be an NFL game, but we all know what we're really looking forward to when Sunday rolls around — the snacks. Some of our personal favorites include classics like saucy chicken wings, pigs in a blanket, and chips with dip, with a few beer-infused drinks to match.

How do you host a small Super Bowl party? ›

If your guests are arriving early, you can play some games beforehand, getting everyone into the spirit of the day. You can also play games that last all evening long, like Super Bowl Bingo, or games involving rating every commercial you see. There are plenty of great ideas for Super Bowl games out there.

A new survey says we're going to spend a lot of money on those parties this year. The new survey from RetailMeNot says the average amount being spent will come in at $189 this year, up from $125 last year. Most of the spending will, of course, be on food and drinks.

The surprising truth is that halftime performers aren't paid to perform at the Super Bowl. Per league policy, the NFL covers all costs related to the production of the halftime show, but the talent doesn't take home a paycheck (although the NFL foots the bill for their travel expenses).

But that doesn't indicate that we will party less, just differently. In fact, the National Retail Federation (NRF) predicts that Americans will spend $17.3 billion on food, drinks, apparel, party decorations and other categories on Super Bowl LVIII, about a billion dollars more than for last year's big game.

Pinecones, seashells, unusual seed pods, dried berries, driftwood, and more make wonderful FREE filler for decorative bowls, platters and vases. I've always displayed these shells that we collected on a beach in Tasmania years ago in a glass vase, so I can see their colors and textures.
