The Super Bowl is just around the corner! For some people, the most exciting part isn’t the game, but the snacks and appetizers. Typically, you see snacks such as wings, chips and dip (or guacamole), mozzarella sticks, mini hotdogs and pizza etc. All of these are great snacks, but you can always switch it up  for all your friends. Decorations are also super important to have a fun and festive super bowl party, especially if your favorite team made it to the big game. Below are some suggestions you might want to try out.

If you’re a Patriots fan you can decorate with red and blue balloons. If you cheer on the Falcon’s, you can get red and black. Homemade decorations like printed logos, and cups help add to the atmosphere during the game. No matter who you cheer on, the game will definitely be fun and filled with lots of action.
