In under one month, our city is going to become host to the biggest football game of the year! If you decided not to squash your savings for a ticket to the main event, fear not, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun!

If you are planning to host a party in honor of the biggest football game of the year this year, here are ten tips that you will need to know to achieve a successful event…and of course..its all with my own spin!

Tip number one
If you plan on serving alcohol, collect the keys from guests as they enter your house. You may experience some reluctance at first but they will thank you later. And if their car is really nice, never give the keys back hahaha!

Tip number two
Everyone attending your party may not be a football fanatic. To avoid one person controlling the television, set up multiple television sets. For instance, have a few episodes of The Bachelor DVR’d for your emotionally unstable friend who just went through a breakup. Also, leave her a bowl of chocolate, 3 bottles of wine and an Adele CD. That way, the rest of you can be put out of the misery of listening to her suck the fun out of the room…and she can deal with her issues without having to call Dr. Phil.

Tip number three
Serve easy finger foods, chips, dips, chicken wings, pizza, and/or heroes. Make sure you have enough of each item. And if you have hot girlfriends, ask them to dress like Hooters waitresses. The guys will appreciate it, and the ladies won’t complain so much about the dudes not paying attention to them.

Tip number four
Decorate with team colors and football related items. Although superbowl is a guy’s affair, there is no need to skimp on the presentation of the party. Make it “girl” friendly by adding your own special touch…or by plastering shirtless photos of Tim Tebow everywhere.

Tip number five
Keep it fun by playing games throughout the night…anything works: beer pong, corn-hole, strip-poker….

Tip number six
Set up a separate kid friendly room (away from the alcohol!) with a television, snacks and plenty of pop.

Tip number seven
Supply plenty of napkins and toothpicks. Finger foods can be messy and the last things on guest’s minds are keeping the house neat and stain free, so if you don’t do this, don’t come crying at me when you wake up the next day and your house looks like a scene from Jumanji.

Tip number eight
Be sure there is plenty of sitting and standing room in view of the television…things tend to get a lil cray-cray in intense game situations. This will help in preventing anyone from breaking your TV..or their own limbs.

Tip number nine
Have plenty of pop on hand and offer coffee halfway though the party…or energy shots…or just call Lindsay Lohan or Charlie Sheen and ask them for advice.

Tip number ten
Have extra cash on hand to cover bets and for cab fare for your friends. Be responsible for all your guests, and don’t allow anyone to drive home drunk, because thats not cool. But above all, don’t let anyone be lame and leave early. Have a rager…but a responsible one.
