Once the game starts, there will be no leaving the house. With your hectic workweek and concentration on where your money is going to be laid out, we thought we'd provide you with a list of Super Bowl party supplies for the big day that will keep everything mellow.
Super Bowl Party Supplies
Beer -Well, it's not so much a supply as it is a requirement. Now the main thing is that one person does not need to bring all the beer. In fact, if a herd of Super Bowl Party seekers are coming over to the house, just have each one to bring six-pack of Heineken. This way, you don't have to dig through those Coors Lights sitting at the bottom of the ice chest, nor will you have to hide your good beer in the back of the fridge.
Throw away cameras - These are fun to have lying around the house so your guests can take random pictures of the debauchery. These can be saved as digital images and e-mailed to everyone in a few weeks to bring back the memories of your Super Bowl party.
Coffee - You know this, man. After it's all over and people are swaying back and forth, you should start brewing a cup of Joe before letting any of your guests hit the streets.
Ashtrays for the smokers - No matter what anyone says, after a few beers they just start lighting up, so it's better to have somewhere to toss the butts or they'll end up in the strangest of places.
A Play Station or X Box - Before the game and after, this day is all about saying goodbye to the season, so for those who don't want the football to end, the virtual world provides a nice bridge before the detoxification process start to occur.
Wet Naps - Just having a napkin won't keep your house from getting BBQ sauce all over the couch and rug. Doesn't seem like a big deal during the madness of Super Bowl Sunday, but there will be hell to pay mid week when your wife is calling for the firing squad. Eliminate stress and provide avenues for clean hands.
Candles - Yes. You should have some type of candle or incense burning during the game in the bathroom at all times. For that matter, put a couple books of matches in there as well. 'Nuff said.
Nerf Footballs - If you toss the ball around before the game, a full sized NFL deal might keep the ladies from joining in. You know you like watching NFL jerseys and sweatpants running around on Sunday. You do.
Da Buns - While there's usually enough meat to handle the hardiest of guests, what is often lacking at the Super Bowl Party is the proper bread and buns. Try getting a few huge Sour Dough loaves and cutting them into slices. The tastes of a grilled sourdough burger will last long into the workweek.
Hot Pot - You might want to get a crock-pot where things like chili or baked beans can soak and stay warm for the entire event. This is great for those who work on Super Bowl Sunday or have things keeping them from the first half of the game.
Betting Squares - This is more of a pre game Super Bowl party supply, but making up betting sheets and predictions before the game gets the juices flowing from the get go. Check out some of the Betting Props for the Bowl's stranger bets and have people make their predictions. Make sure you get a prize worth winning. People usually like money, so put it in a Super Bowl Jar and watch people go crazy. You could make it a big pot and dedicate proceeds to a charity, given that you're in a house watching the game while others are without food and water.
The Super Bowl Party Mix - The mix tape is a classic, so prepare one the night before and boost it full of music to keep the energy high in the hours up to game time. If you're slick, you'll make a cool down mix for after the game.
Water - A lot of beer and tons of grease is going to make for some serious dehydration, so get yourself a case of water to ensure your Super Bowl throng can keep the party going.
Card Tables - Some games going on during the big event always make for a better party. Make sure you have some card tables so your weary guests can sit down and kick it with some bones are a deck of cards.
Cigars - As the evening comes on and football sails off into the distance, a fine cigar to enjoy outside in the cool of night is a fitting goodbye. It's a moment that will stand alone in time, because of the world you are about to return to, as well as the one that you have just left behind.
