Super Bowl Party Invitations
A cool party invite is to make your invitation look like a ticket to the actual Super Bowl. You can see a sample of this year’s ticket at the Super Bowl's official website. If you want to keep it simple, American Greetings have free Super Bowl party e-cards that you can email to your guests.
Super Bowl Party Food
For Super Bowl party food make it suitable to the cities of various NFL teams or just the ones who made the playoffs – jambalaya for New Orleans, a cheese fondue for Green Bay, deep dish pizza for Chicago, cheese steak sandwiches for Philadelphia, clam chowder for New England, cheese cake for New York, and Tex-mex or BBQ for Dallas.
Obviously, chili is a great food to serve a large crowd, but make more than one type – a five meat chili, a vegan chili, a suicide spice chili – be sure to read Tips on How to Make the Best Chili for some ideas.
Beer is the typical Super Bowl drink, so if you are having a lot of people you may want to make your own beer for the occasion (do this in late December as the beer needs to sit for four weeks before you can drink it). You can even make up your own Super bowl party label for the bottles.

Game Day Activities
The game typically begins at 6 p.m. EST, so start the festivities at 4 p.m. with a tailgate party in your driveway, even if it is cold. This is a great way to get your neighbors to join in. Have a laptop running showing the count down time until the game starts (also available at the Super Bowl’s website).
Make it a costume party where everyone has to dress in football attire, crazed fan getup, their favorite NFL cheerleaders, or, at very least, wear the colors of the playing teams. You can also hand out washable tattoos of the opposing teams (available at Amazon.com), noisemakers like whistles, horns and cow bells and pom poms to use whenever someone scores, and, if it is legal in your area, let off firecrackers outside for every touchdown.
Halftime Activities
Watching the Super Bowl kids usually get pretty restless, making it tough for people trying to watch the game. So suggest that they prepare a halftime super bowl show for the adults. This will keep them busy during the first half at least.
More Super Bowl Party Games
Unfortunately, sometimes the game can be a dud. So you have to find other ways to have some Super Bowl fun One way is to do the popular Grid Pool where people buy a square on a 10" x 10" grid and the winner is whoever has the square at the intersection of the last digit of each team’s final score. You could also run side contests on quarterback stats - such as number of completions, number of attempts, and total yards, with a prize for whoever’s guess is the closest.
For a drinking game (make sure no one drinks and drives) have each person draw a player's name out of a sack. Every time the announcers say a player's name, the person who has that player has to take a drink.
Known for its great commercials Super Bowl parties usually focus on that too. Spotbowl has the line up of advertisers for this year’s Super Bowl. Print out several cards with each advertiser’s name on it (how many cards you print out depends on the number of people attending your party). Randomly give everyone five commercial cards. Once their commercial airs, they lose the card. The key is that they have to be there to see the commercial in order to discard (this keeps them watching the game). The first person out of cards wins a prize.
