Whether it is Blue Moon and Corona flavored cupcakes or chocolate strawberry footballs, craft sites such as Pinterest and CraftGawker share quick and easy ideas for guests to have the ultimate Super Bowl party experience.
As the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers face-off, you can spoil guests with yummy treats and party favors. Below are some simple, inexpensive ideas for those on a budget.
DECORATE
To make sure guests are basking in the ultimate football atmosphere, one can craft homemade pennants to hang-up around the house.
Grab some scrapbook paper with the colors of the respective teams and cut them out into the shape of a pennant. You can add pictures of your favorite players and team logos by printing them off or cutting them out of a magazine.
For the members of the group who are disinterested in the game and only watching for the commercials, make some commercial rating signs.
The only items needed are popsicle sticks, glue, paper and a permanent marker.
1. Write anything on the pieces of paper. studiodiy.com recommends some sayings such as “Change the channel,” “Fumble,” “Pass the Chips,” “YouTube sensation” and “What was that advertising?”
2. Glue the paper on the sticks. Make sure the paper is heavy enough that it won’t flop over when holding the sign up.
3. Now, guests can silently raise their opinion instead of yelling at the TV.
DRINK
If guests are divided, this idea can tie in both teams for the entire party. It’s quick way to make peace in the living room regardless of teams. Pinterest offers fun, non-alcoholic ideas for those under 21.
1. Get some type of bucket whether it be metal or plastic.
2. Pour a bag of ice into the buckets to make sure guests receive a cool, refreshing beverage.
3. Place glass-bottled root beer in the bucket.
4. Make a banner to place on the outside of your bucket that says, “Who will you ROOT for?”
EAT
Remember those scrumptious walking tacos middle schools and high schools always served? Well, Pinterest pinned this on-the-go snack as a quick, appetizing Super Bowl must-have.
The only ingredients needed are beef or chicken, cheese, lettuce, salsa, sour cream and a Frito-Lay bag. Cook and season the meat, place the meat and other toppings in the bag on top of the Fritos.
The result is a walking taco that guests can literally walk around with.
After dishing out the walking tacos and root beer, it is time for a delightful, football-themed dessert.
Create some cupcakes using your favorite recipe and then add frosting with the color of the most favored team. For cupcake toppers, print-off logos of either team and attach them to scrapbook paper. Guests can now declare their allegiances with a tasty dessert.
GIVE
To end the night, send guests off with a simple and cost-effective parting gift. Since the scrapbook paper has been particularly useful with a few of these ideas, put it to the test again.
Cut out miniature footballs using the scrapbook paper and tie them onto cheap lollipops using gift bows or some sort of string. Feel free to add guests names to make the gift feel more personalized and special.
