Our Favorite Super Bowl 58 Party Ideas

When it comes to the Super Bowl, there’s something fun for everyone! Whether your favorite team is in the showdown or you just like watching the commercials and halftime show, everyone enjoys a good Super Bowl party with friends and family. There are tasty appetizers, some cold ones, and even fun games to get the younger ones excited. Here are our best Super Bowl party ideas for hosting this year.

Play Mini Cornhole

Cornhole is a great game for any outdoor party, but mini cornhole is perfect for smaller indoor spaces. This is a game that everyone can play, including the kiddos. You can purchase a mini football-themed cornhole set or make your own with a few simple supplies. Go the extra mile with your cornhole bags and make them look like cute little footballs.

Dress Up Your Appetizer Table

Nothing is more inviting than a party buffet table that’s styled to impress. To do it right, you’ll need tablecloths, serving trays, party plates, napkins, cups, and plasticware. The more football-themed tableware you have, the better you’ll look as a Super Bowl party host! The Ultimate Party Super Store has you covered with all the NFL tableware you need to show off your Super Bowl party appetizer ideas. 

Make Simple Snack Bags

Guests love having their own personal game day snack bag for chips, cheese puffs, or whatever snacks you want to serve. Not only is it more sanitary to have your own personal snack bag, but it’s also super easy to make bags that look like footballs. Grab some small brown paper bags and use thin masking tape to simulate the football stitching. Fill your bags just before guests arrive so they can grab and eat!

Run With Football-Themed Foods

While you could go with classic pigs in a blanket and chicken wings, you could also get creative with appetizers that look like footballs. Some of our favorite football appetizers and snack ideas for hosting a Super Bowl party include:

• Brownies and chocolate cookies shaped like footballs. Use white icing to add the stitching.
• Football deviled eggs. Cut pieces of chive to make the stitching.
• Football cheese ball. Use any cheese ball recipe you want and shape it like a football. Cover it with pepperoni slices and use sliced cheese for the stitching. Serve with crackers.
• Make your pigs in a blanket look like a big football by arranging them close together before baking. After baking, add mustard stitching.
• Arrange a meat and cheese tray to look like a football. Place your meats in the center, surround them with cheeses, and finally crackers. Use mustard or more cheese to make the football stitching. 

Play Commercial Bingo

For most people, the commercials are the best part of watching the Super Bowl at a party. Turn the commercials into a game with bingo cards that feature the brands most known for creative Super Bowl commercials. You can find this style of bingo cards online or create your own. Make sure you have some fun Super Bowl party prize ideas for the winners! 

Make a Photo Shoot Backdrop

Pictures are worth a thousand words, so what better way to help preserve your party memories than with a football-themed photo backdrop? For this Super Bowl party idea, you could purchase an NFL scene setter kit, or you could throw one together yourself with a few simple photo booth props. Start with a game day banner, football spiral danglers, and order balloons online for the team you’re rooting for. You could also use letter and number balloons for your team and favorite players. Add in some fun props for your guests to hold like foam fingers, novelty footballs, and football head bobbers. 

Place Your Bets

When two teams are going head to head for the football championship, you’ve got a 50/50 chance to win your bet. But there are plenty of other things to bet on during the Super Bowl. Here’s a list of Super Bowl party betting ideas:

• Who will win the coin toss?
• How many songs will be sung at halftime?
• How many touchdowns will be scored?
• Will there be a marriage proposal?
• When will the first penalty be, or how many will there be?
• How long will the national anthem last?

Be sure to have cool prizes on hand like penny bottles of liquor for the adults and football toys for kids.

Play a Drinking Game

We know the Super Bowl is always on a Sunday and most of us have work on Monday, but it’s still fun to play drinking games within your limit. There are plenty of drinking games you can make up for your party when watching the Super Bowl. ‘Drink if something happens during the game’ is always a popular one. Here’s a list of what to watch for during your party:

• A 20+ yard pass
• A commercial makes you laugh
• A player cries
• A player kisses his fingers and points to the sky
• A celebrity is shown in the spectators
• A player is penalized
• There’s a field goal or an interception
• The opposing team scores
• Anything goes wrong during the halftime show

And those are just a few examples. If there are not enough things happening while watching the Super Bowl at your party, make up some new things to drink for!
