Come Party With Me: Super Bowl — The Look
Before the Super Bowl begins, take some time to make the atmosphere in your living room comfortable and inviting. Select party decorations in your team's colors. Since I'm cheering on the underdogs (the Arizona Cardinals), my color scheme is black, red, and white. Cover the table or a side banquet in a red tablecloth. Place the sliders and sandwiches on a black tray and stack appetizer plates nearby. Cocktail napkins with a football print are festive. Fill beer buckets with ice and chill the beer. If you have bottles of beer, don't forget to have several bottle openers on hand. Serve the Jell-O shots in clear Dixie cups. Turn on football-shaped lights and toss a few red throw pillows on the couch. Beer koozies are a fun party gift that can be enjoyed throughout the game.
