If you’re thinking about hosting a Super Bowl party but it feels like too much work – this post is for you.

Maybe you’re not sure what kind of food to serve (and how to make it), maybe you’re not sure how to decorate, and maybe you simply don’t even know where to start and what you should be thinking about.

It doesn’t need to be complicated, though.

This is your guide for hosting a great Super Bowl party in 4 simple and doable steps:

Step 1: Who and how many?

Are you celebrating with your close family and friends? Or do you want a big party with the whole neighborhood? Is it a party for just grownups? or will there be children as well?

Step 2: Where?

Decide where you will host your party. Are you inviting people over to watch the game at your home or yard? Are you having an outdoor Tailgate party? Take into consideration the number of guests you expect and their preferences (will your guest prefer an indoor or outdoor party for example). 

Once you decide on the who and where – you can send out your Superbowl Party Invitations, to make sure your guests save the date.

Step 3: Party Food

Bite-sized food is always a great choice for a party built around watching a game. Your guests will be able to enjoy the game while eating at their own pace, chatting, and cheering. You don’t need to be an expert chef to prepare a variety of snacks for your guests. Try this easy recipe for mini-sandwiches for example!

At the end of the post, you’ll find another easy trick to creating themed party food!

Step 4: Party Decorations

Themed Super Bowl party decorations are the easiest and quickest way to set the right atmosphere for your party. Cheerful, colorful printables can make a great impact and put everyone in the right mood for celebrating and cheering for your favorite team! You can choose a full party set that includes a variety of decorations (like banners, toppers, signs, etc.), or choose only the specific items you need.

And one last trick to creating themed party food the easy way:

Prepare whatever food is easiest for you to make. It doesn’t need to “look” like a football or anything like that. You can even buy food. It can be as simple as peanuts in a jar, or plane cupcakes. The secret is this: You can easily theme ANY FOOD using printable decorations. Use football-themed decorations such as toppers, liners, wrappers, and food cards to theme your party table in minutes. This post shows many examples of how to do just that.

Do what works for you, create your own party in flow and ease, and remember – sports is about reducing stress not adding more into your life!
