How to Get Supplies for Super Bowl Parties

Video Transcript

"Go! Go! Hello, my name is Matt Cail, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to throw a Super Bowl Party! You can have the best food and drink in the world at your Super Bowl party, but it's not going to make a difference unless you have the supplies necessary to serve it with. First you are going to want to have cups. Now, these cups can be paper, they can be plastic, they can be ones that you have that can fall all over the place and not break. Definitely avoid glass. Like other fragiles, glass cups can break and that is not good. Often times, you will be able to go to the grocery store and they've got really, really cheap paper cups which are also environmentally sensitive. These can also be a great alternative staple for your guests. Unless you have a big dishwasher, I would recommend not having to empty out your cupboard of glasses and cups, because it's going to make for a lot more cleanup. It's much, much easier to just throw away something that will biodegrade nice and easily for the environment. In addition: bowls. Here's something where I'm a little leery of plastic bowls. This doesn't have to be your nice fine china bowls that you'd serve in for those nice dinner parties, but definitely...have you ever heard of a paper bowl? Not so much. You put in a lot of different stuff and things start ripping around and then you have big mess on your living room floor. So, definitely, for your bowls, go with something a little more resilient, a little more solid. You also have plates. Plates can go either way. You can go with your plates or you can go with paper plates. Personally, I lean towards paper plates, but really, the choice is yours. Lastly, but not least, napkins. You can go with napkins or you can go with paper towels. Napkins are a little bit more economic and this is also the opportunity to hit the party store and get something a little bit more football themed for your Super Bowl party. The same thing goes for some of your cups and plates, but napkins are one of the more cheapest of serving pieces you can get that still have some decorating themes to it. "
