The Longhorns are heading to Oklahoma State on Saturday to take on the
Cowboys. It will be burnt orange vs. bright orange and we’re in for a great
game!
Although I miss being part of the stadium crowd, hosting a football watch
party is always a lot of fun. Not to mention, football is just more enjoyable when
snacks are within arm’s reach.
Invite some friends over for the game this weekend and impress them
with your hosting skills. Here are some great tips for your football watch party:
Drinks
Every party should
start with the refreshments. Fill up a white or orange beverage tub with lots
of ice and all of your friends’ favorite drinks. Don’t forget to leave some
bottle openers nearby.
Games
Have fun games planned for
commercial breaks and half-time. I stumbled across this adorable game idea from
Rust
& Sunshine: pin the football on the field goal. It’s like a realistic
version of pin the tail on the donkey.
Decor
Go all out with the décor and create
a football field in your home! Hostess
with the Mostess suggests that you cover the dining table with green felt
or inexpensive Astroturf, which can be found at your local home improvement
store. Use white ribbon to create the lines on the field.
To create a goal post
centerpiece, paint wooden dowel rods yellow and hot glue them in the goal post
shape. Then insert them into a block of Styrofoam and cover the Styrofoam in
artificial grass.
Grab some orange and white
streamers to add a little more pizzazz.
Food
Set out lots of snacks. Tortilla
chips and homemade queso are always a hit among the true Texans.
Plan a no fuss menu. Guests
always enjoy classics like chicken wings, burgers, and loaded fries. My friends
always request fried Pizza Rolls and Frito pie. Prepare as much as you can in
advance so you can enjoy the game too!
Keep dessert simple. Bake double chocolate
cookies and trim the edges to create a football shape. Use vanilla icing to add
football laces.
Have a great watch party and remember to wear your burnt orange dresses with pride! Hook ‘Em!
Love the drink dispensers as decor - something that you can use again and again instead of wasting money on paper goods that just go in the trash! Plus polka dots are the coolest! Happy partying!

These are some great ideas! We’re in Denver, so the main color at my party will be orange, too! I’m having a huge football blowout this weekend for all my coworkers and friends at DISH. These tips are perfect, especially about keeping the menu simple! Also, I’m going to turn our giant basement room into the ultimate football paradise. With my Hopper, I have three TVs hooked up, one to each tuner, that will allow us to watch three different games at the same time in full HD! This way everyone gets a chance to see their team in action. Thanks again!
