When it comes to football season, there’s nothing better than gathering friends and family for a fun-filled game day. If you’re planning on hosting, here are some tips for hosting a football party that will keep your guests comfortable, well-fed, and fully immersed in the game.
Open Seating for a Relaxed Vibe
Seating is key when you’re hosting a football party. With guests moving around throughout the game, it’s important to create a comfortable, casual seating arrangement with many different seating options. The goal? To ensure that everyone has a great view of the game, so don’t hesitate to rearrange your space or even add extra screens to make sure no one misses a moment.
The Perfect Game-Day Spread
No football party is complete without an amazing snack spread. Classic game-day foods like buffalo wings, sliders, and nachos are a must. For something more unique, consider setting up a DIY nacho or hot dog bar where guests can customize their plates. You could even ask guests to bring their favorite snacks to share. For dessert, themed treats like football-shaped cookies or cupcakes with team-colored frosting will add an extra festive touch.
And don’t forget about drinks! Keeping everyone refreshed is just as important as keeping them fed. Offer a variety of beverages, including soft drinks, beer, and themed cocktails. A signature drink named after your favorite team or player would also add a fun twist.
Game Day Decor
Adding team spirit to your home’s décor can really set the mood. Consider draping banners or balloons in your team’s colors, using football-themed tableware, and creating DIY decorations like goalposts or a concession stand sign for the snack table. You can even set up a chalkboard or whiteboard to track the score.
Host a Football Party in Your New Foxlane Home
When you live in a Foxlane home, it just might become everyone’s new favorite place to gather. So go ahead, make that kitchen island a bit bitter, add some built-in seating to the living room, or go all-out on a finished basement so there will be plenty of room for it all. Foxlane Homes crafts luxury homes you can personalize in a mix of sought-after communities throughout Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Coastal Delaware (and soon, Indianapolis).
