How to Throw a College Football Party

Whether it's for a bowl game or just a plain old regular season showdown, a college football party is the best way to round up your friends and family and show some team spirit. Follow these easy steps to throw a college football party and you're team's sure to win.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Plan your menu. Include easy-to-eat snacks like chips and dip and simple crock pot favorites like chili so your guests can munch during the entire game. Prepare your food ahead of time and choose items that can be left out during the game without much maintenance. That way, you can enjoy it too.
2. Serve simple drinks like beer and soda, or create a signature punch for the football game. Keep the drinks in a cooler nearby so your guests can grab them on their own.
3. Decorate your home in college team colors. Use streamers, balloons and tableware to show off your fan spirit. Visit your local party store or an online site like CollegeGear.com to find napkins, cups and other great college football decorations.
4. Set up the viewing room with plenty of chairs for your guests to use. If you have guests who may be more interested in socializing, set up another room for other activities.
5. Offer half-time activities. Plan games like a football toss, football charades or other football-themed activities for your guests to enjoy during the break.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider having a potluck party with each guest bringing a dish for variety.
