Score a Touchdown at Your Watch Party

Football season is upon us, and there’s no better way to enjoy the excitement than by hosting a watch party! A watch party is about more than inviting people over to cheer on your favorite team. It’s about creating an unforgettable experience for your guests. Here are some tips for scoring a touchdown!

Create the Perfect Viewing Space

The heart of any watch party is the television. Ensure that it is positioned for optimal viewing—eye level and free from glare. Just because you expect to be on your feet cheering doesn’t mean you should skimp on the seating. No one likes to perch on the arm of someone else’s chair. Arrange comfortable seating for everyone. If you are planning an outdoor showing, set up a projector so everyone can see the game.

Show Your Team Spirit

Greet your guests with spirited decorations. Use team colors for tablecloths and napkins. Blow up some balloons. Hang banners and pendants. Encourage guests to decorate themselves by wearing team shirts. If you want to go the extra mile, set up a DIY photo booth with props.

Don’t Skimp on the Snacks

When it comes to enjoying the game, you’ve got to have food. Ask guests to bring their favorite dishes for a potluck party or design a game day menu. Classic options include wings, nachos, sliders, potato skins and buffalo chicken dip. Don’t forget to provide a variety of beverages, including sodas, beer and fun mocktails for non-drinkers. Make sure you have something sweet to end the meal.

Engage Your Guests with Games

Keep energy high by incorporating games and activities during commercial breaks or halftime. Consider football trivia, a friendly cornhole tournament or even a dance-off to celebrate touchdowns. It’s a fun way to relieve tension — especially if the game is tied.
