The New Orleans Saints are going to the Super Bowl, yeah. Forgive me for slipping into my native dialect but I can't tell you how excited I am about the Saints going to the Super Bowl. After so many years of, "we'll get there next year, or we will go all the way, next year," Saints fans can say that our "next year" has finally come. And you know there is going to be a party.
The teams have been determined and the Big Game is less than two weeks away! How will you be enjoying the Super Bowl celebration? How about hosting your own Super Bowl party? It's not as difficult as you think. According to the folks at Hallmark Cards, Inc., Super Bowl parties are one of the top at-home party events of the year. Super Bowl parties have become much more than a gathering of football lovers. In fact, many people attending these parties don't love football as much as they love the excuse to just get together with friends.
Here are a few tips to make your Super Bowl party a super success:
- Food is important - let me repeat that. Food is important. Make sure you have lots of the finger foods that people have come to expect during football games. A buffet menu is definately the way to go. That way your guests can eat, talk and move about your party with ease. A simple menu of hot wings, chips & dip, pizza, etc. A New Orleans Super Bowl party will include shrimp poboys, catfish fillets, a pot of gumbo, and maybe some muffalatas.
- Make sure you have lots to drink. To keep it simple, soda and beer will do. If you are doing a New Orleans type Super Bowl Party - Hurricanes and Daquiris might be a great addition, along with anything stronger if your party guest can drink responsibly.
- Don't prepare recipes are attempt endeavors that will keep you locked in the kitchen all evening. You want to enjoy your party as well.
- Make sure there are several viewing areas or televisions around the party area. That way everyone has a great view of the game.
- Decorations are not as necessary but if you feel compelled to add some festivity to your locale, anything with a football theme, with the team colors will work. Of course, a New Orleans Super Bowl party can only have one color scheme and that's black and gold baby.
Whatever food, decor or activity you may decide to include, just make sure to enjoy the moment and as we say in New Orleans, "Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler."
The "Who Dat Nation" will be in the house.
"Geaux Saints!"
