The Big Game

Even though our Packers' season ended in the divisional playoffs we're still getting excited for the Superbowl this weekend!

In Australia we get the game early Monday morning - it's hard to have people over so early so we suggest recording the game and screening it later in the day.

Whether you're a Giants fan or a Patriots fan, any Superbowl party is all about the game...and the FOOD! Add some creativity to you big game bash with these easy tips and menu ideas:

Football Field Table Cover

Make a bold statement by covering your main buffet area with inexpensive artificial grass in order to mimic the look of a football field. Artificial turf is available at Bunnings and they can cut it down to size for you. Dark green felt or fabric will also work as an alternative option. Use white ribbon or masking tape to add yard lines, or paint them of you're feeling arty!

Crowd Pleasing Menu

When it comes to the menu, keep things easy and approachable by serving up a variety of crowd-pleasing finger foods. Think chicken wings, chips and dips. (Last year we got a 6 foot sub from Subway - we would suggest NOT to do this for your party - it was severely disappointing!)

Cheese & Cracker Football Stackers

Use a circle shaped cookie cutter to cut slices of cheese and salami into football shapes, then stack them on top of oval shaped cracker. Last but not least use a zip lock bag to pipe mustard or ranch dressing laces on top.

Football Devilled Eggs

Whip up you favourite devilled egg recipe then add some chive laces to instantly transform them into little footballs!

Goal Post Centrepiece

Create a striking themed centrepiece for you table from wooden rods, yellow paint, and hot glue. Paint the unfinished rods, let them dry, then hot glue into a goal post shape. Once they're dry stick the goal post into some styrofoam and cover it with whatever you made your table cloth with.

Print & Customise

As always, the design is in the details - and printable paper elements are on the easiest ways to transform any buffet into a unique party display!
