The beginning of the NFL 22/23 season is right around the corner and is set to start in September. This is the perfect time to host a party and to gather all your friends and family to watch the game and have fun. We have all been through a few years where we were not allowed to get together, so it is time to finally celebrate again.
Being a host is not always the easiest thing in the world, and the key is to start early. You can begin already now to plan out food, drinks, and the guestlist to have the most epic party ever. You can already look at the matchups for nfl week 1, and plan out some betting or just watching. Here are a few things you should remember to include in your season kick-off get-together.
A big screen
If there are going to be many people celebrating and watching the first NFL match, you might need to be outside. The weather is usually nice in September, and you could gather all the people in the backyard for a fun and cozy time. We all love outdoor adventures and parties in nature. Then you should make sure you have a big screen so that everyone can see what is happening in this first, exciting game. There are many places where you can rent big screens, or even projectors to stream the game on the wall of your garage or even a white bed sheet. You could always have the party inside in the living room as well if there is room for it. then you should make sure that the tv is big enough, and that the speakers are as loud as they need to be.
Food and drinks
A good party is not complete without food and drinks. A good old BBQ could be the perfect thing to serve your football-loving guest. Most people like BBQ food, and it also opens up the possibility of everyone bringing something and then sharing. Just fire up the grill, buy some meat, and you are already far along. For dessert, you can go classic and serve ice cream, and if it is an adult-only party, you could mix some good drinks. Having plenty of soda, or beers, depending on the age of the guest is also a good idea. A fall day could also be warm, so make sure that you have a lot of cool drinks and ice cream to keep everyone happy.
Decorations
To make the backyard or living room look just right, you can buy some decorations to match the teams that are playing. There might be one of the teams that are more popular among your guests, so maybe you should make it all about that. If there are rivals on the guest list, you can decorate half the backyard for one team, and the other half for the other. If you want to be a host to remember, you can also make party favors that are NFL-themed, or photo props to make an unforgettable evening.
Games and activities
In addition to just watching the game, you can have some party games and activities to do before or after they play. These games could have a football theme, for example, who can throw a ball the longest, or who is the fastest runner. It could also be just traditional party games, both for kids and adults. You are never too old for some fun games, and it will definitely lighten the mood in the crowd. If you choose to be outside you also have a lot of game opportunities and activities that are fun and playful.
Try to incorporate some, or all, of these things if you want to throw a party for the start of the NFL season. It will be a great evening for all sports fans, and it will probably be a day they will not soon forget. You can also throw this party if you're not a sports fan, or usually don't watch the NFL. There is always a reason to gather friends and family for some fun celebrations
