Guest List
Decide on your guest list, and be okay with people not wanting to attend, some people enjoy watching the game at home and also be okay with people leaving at halftime to possibly make it to another event. Invite people who you don’t mind spending hours with on the couch. Send out the text at the top of the week so people can plan accordingly.
Food and Snacks

Some options below are minimum cooking or ordering but enough to keep everyone happy and full.

Finger Foods: Think sliders (burgers, buffalo chicken), wings (buffalo, jerk, BBQ, lemon pepper), nachos, eggrolls, meatballs, and deviled eggs.
Dips: Crab Dip, buffalo chicken dip, spinach artichoke dip, and classic salsa and chips are always big hits.
Pizza: This is probably the easiest way to go simple yet filling.
