How to Have a Vegan Super Bowl Party
A vegan super bowl party can be an immensely fun experience. Whether your favorite team is in on the action or you tune in for those over-the-top commercials, it's the time for partying. People spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to be there in person, but with the following tips, you can have just as much fun by hosting a Super Bowl party in your own home.

Make your invitation extension early. Start telling people about the party a month in advance. Give out a casual mention so people can keep it in their minds when they filter other Super Bowl Day invitations and offers. You want to get the word out about yours first. You needn't focus on the "vegan" aspect of the party to those who aren't vegan. While you don't want to be deceptive in any way, you also aren't planning a preaching party. It's simply a Super Bowl party with some kind fare.

Ask people to come in their favorite sports team's gear. It's time to pick between the two teams. You'll want to read labels before buying clothes. Sometimes gear is made from leather or wool. That's a no-no for the vegan lifestyle. Stay informed to stay empowered about your lifestyle choices. Read labels before purchasing anything.

Talk to each guest about his own expectations and hopes for Super Bowl Sunday. Try to bring a bit of each guest's ideal into the fun of your party. If beer is wanted, get Miller, Anheuser-Busch or Rogue Beers. There are actually lots of vegan beers available. Check the complete list on the Website in our Resources section.

Consider the tone of the party. This will be largely based upon your guest list. If it's all people who love to drink, you'll want to stock up on booze. If you are thinking that everybody would enjoy a three course meal in the midst of the game action, plan accordingly. From hearing people's hopes and considering the group as a whole, you can make a full list of needed supplies.

Plan for a variety of tastes and appetites. You want to get supplies to make several vegan foot long sandwiches. Tofurky or Lightlife brands offer imitation meats that are amazing. They deliver options that are flowing over with more flavor than any dish of meat. Read the labels for some easy-to-find vegan bread choices.

Take care of the catering primarily at the grocery store. Gather chips, dip, vegan hot dogs, sodas of many flavors, and plenty of snacks and desserts. The Super Bowl Party is also a time to indulge in your favorite kinds of junk food.

Design some party games for lulls in the game...or to do before the game starts. If drinking is a big part of your party, you'll want to do drinking games. If it's an all-guy or all-girl party, customize the games accordingly.

Decorate for the party by putting out memorabilia for both teams. Set up a chalkboard for score keeping and bet making. You can set the mood for fun by having the party room all decked out.

Tips & Warnings
Avoiding items made in a country where human rights abuses run rampant is also recommended for the vegan lifestyle, although the definition is technically avoiding animal by-products. You'll ultimately feel better looking out for both human and animal rights.
Don't forget the vegan hot dogs. These are a must for all ball games!
