Throw Your Own Singles Super Bowl Bash - Tips and Ideas

The Super Bowl event is one of those occasions singles everywhere can enjoy regardless of how they feel about football or the teams they will be rooting for.  It offers a chance for strangers to come together in camaraderie, shared passions and on the field competition. It is a celebration of amazing feats and a sound board for the occasional disappointment.

Which leads us to ask, where will you be watching the Super Bowl this year? No plans yet? May we suggest that you host your own Super Bowl Bash?

Hosting your own party is a great way to show off your social charms and bring like-minded singles into your home. Cook up your favorite dish, invite everyone you know and ask them to bring their favorite dish or a single friend. Many singles prefer house parties anyway so this is an excellent opportunity to draw in singles who would otherwise be sitting at home alone or feeling out of place at a pub. If you bump into a cutie at the grocery store or coffee shop and discover they don’t have any plans for the big event, invite him or her too!

Playing host can definitely have its perks and work to your advantage, especially if you’re single. Here are a few ways to make it easy on you while scoring big points with your guests.

Potluck / BYOB 
Spread the work around so you don’t have to slave in the kitchen or at the grill while your guests are enjoying themselves. Have your guests help cater the event. It is best to keep track of who is bringing what so that you don't end up with eight veggie platters. Boom! Instant party!

Order Out! 
Nothing says easy like delivery! Just remember to order the pizzas or takeout early for restaurants get hit fast and hard on game day. Have guests bring drinks, snacks or desserts and settle in for the game!

Running Low? Do a Run!
Don't be afraid to pop out during halftime to restock chips, cheese or sweets. Take a collection if you need to? The idea is that this can be as easy, low key as you want it to be. Don't stress.

Stock Up Early
You know you will need ice, napkins, plates and cups. Stock up early and then you don't have to worry about it during last minute prep. Extra points for purchasing items in team colors!
