Tips for Hosting a Game Day Party at Home
I've been chatting about watching football at home a lot. It's one of the ways my family and I really enjoy spending time with each other in the fall. We don't just plomp in front of the T.V. and call it a party, oh no. I like to do it big! I'm going to share some of my favorite ideas to host a "gameday" party right at home. No fuss, just the basics so you can enjoy the company just as much as the big game. I'm a sponsored blog partner with Lunchbox I'm a sponsored blog partner with Lunchbox, regardless, all opinions are my own. Today's discussion is about about LG official corporate partner of NCAA® Football.
Great food - Any party is fueled by awesome food. There is just no way around it. Picking the right snacks to go along with the theme can really amp up your party. There are some foods that just totally go with football watching, don't you agree? If I could narrow football food down to two categories they would be meat and dip.
If you could mix the two - that's a total win! Example? Cheeseburger dip. Yup, definitely a winner. Try making it in a slow cooker! Great way to easily keep delicious meaty or cheesy dips warm during your party.
Finger foods are always perfect for gameday. Spicy buffalo sauces are always a win. If you've hung around here long, you've probably seen one of my favorite combos. Waffle fries topped with melty blue cheese, cheddar cheese and of course buffalo sauce. Chicken wings, chips or veggies with dips are always a "score".
Play Games - with all the delicious finger foods happening, breaking up your party with a little real ball is fun. Either play some catch before, after or during half time. It's a great way to really boost up the energy and fun level. It's funny, my son rarely ever finishes watching a game on T.V. because it really revs him up to go outside and play. It's yet another fun way to create fun memories on gameday, just make sure to take lots of pictures!
Great T.V. - Let's face it, inviting friends and family over to watch an exciting game is not going to be awesome unless you have a great T.V. My hubby and I invested in a new one a couple of months ago and after comparing quality and cost, we proudly brought home an LG TV from Walmart. After playing with our settings and setting it up for high definition, we simply couldn't believe the quality. It's incredible, seriously. LG is offering tips here to optimize your own Smart TV to get the best picture quality.

Do you watch football games at home? What are your favorite munchies to serve while watching?
Oh, for us it's always about the food! Good food= good party!
Great tips! I'll take the spicy buffalo sauce on everything... for the win!
Dip is pretty much my favorite food group! This looks like a great party!
Great ideas. Those waffle fries look so delicious... and fancy too! Love that idea.
I want to come watch football at your house, the food looks amazing. What a nice time.
Cheeseburger dip sounds amazing. I can't think of anything that screams football more than that!
These are great tips! Thank you so much! I'd especially love to try the dip 🙂
Oh my goodness, what great tips. I would love to come to game day at your house 🙂 We always have tons of 'games' with our game days, too... Thanks for sharing. I hope to win!
This is a great giveaway. I could use a $300 gift card to Walmart to finish decorating my new house. It would be great for Christmas gifts as well. A LG sound bar would be great with my LG TV.
We're Vikings fans in this house and that cheeseburger dip sounds delicious! Or we love bacon-wrapped-anything haha.
We are not football fans but I could totally spin this to work for hockey nights as well.
Passing the football is a great way to gear up for the game. We love to get in the mood by throwing around the old pig skin before the game.
Sounds like great tips. I think id enjoy a fun of football.
I really need to remember the 'play games' tip. We love putting on a good spread (game day food is awesome, hello!) but we always end up sitting on the couches watching the tv the whole day. This year we need to get up and have some FUN.
Sounds like I need to come to your house for one epic party! My husband watches football all of the time - I need to try making a party out of it 🙂
We look forward to game food almost as much as we look forward to the game! Nom noms always make game day better.
What an awesome giveaway! We have an LG sound bar as well and love it's quality!
Mmm, cheeseburger dip? Delicious, that is definitely doing game night right!!
I've never thought to add any spicy sauce to waffle fries. I'm going to have to remember that next time I have a get-together because everyone in my family loves spicy foods. Great ideas for game-day!
Wow, I feel like hosting a party just as an excuse to try some of these recipes. I'd love some Cheeseburger dip!
I love the idea of playing a real ball game. And it seems like as long as you have AWESOME snacks, you're party will turn out alright. 🙂
I think the food is something that we look forward to on game day too at our house. I love making finger foods and love the spicy buffalo flavor, especially on wings!
For us, it;s ALL about the food. A party just isn't a party without great snacks.
How did I not know about Cheeseburger Dip? Yum! Game Day is all about food at our house!
