Having A Safe and Happy Super Bowl Party
If you’re planning to host a Super Bowl party, the entertainment is already taken care of. From the big game itself, to the famous commercials and happening half time show, there’s always something to enjoy. Of course, there’s good food and drinks to think about as well. It’s always good to stock up on chips, dip, drinks and other snack time favorites.
That’s not all there is to being a good host. As you check everything off your Super Bowl itinerary list, allow us to share some helpful party safety tips to ensure your guests enjoy themselves and everything goes smoothly.
Personal Liability: Do you have enough liability? Please keep in mind that personal liability laws vary state by state. Familiarize yourself with the laws beforehand so that you know what to pay close attention to as the party progresses.
Closest thing to a “warm” welcome: The forecast calls for cold when the Eagles and Patriots take the field in Minnesota. Given that the winter months in New York can sometimes lead to rain, snow, ice, and other conditions of the like, it may pay to take precautionary measures. You can make sure your walkway is shoveled and cleared of ice. As guests arrive, clean and dry an otherwise slippery floor. This will help you set the mood for a good time by avoiding any injuries.
Keeping Everyone Safe: There are many things you can do to ensure guests have a good time at your party. We understand it’s easy to get distracted while having fun. Please be mindful not to serve uncooked food. With buffalo wings a popular snack for this occasion, keep stray bones away from any pets scurrying around. The big game can lead to heated debates amongst passionate fans (and being on the losing side can be even more disappointing), so do what you can to discourage arguments and fights. There are always calm ways to diffuse these types of situations.
Go Home Happy: Even if your guests’ favorite team loses the game, you can still play a role in helping them go home without a worry. If alcohol is served, perhaps you can offer a prize to whoever volunteers to be a designated driver. Some hosts opt to stop serving alcohol toward the end of the evening and switch to soft drinks and coffee. Should guests be drinking too much, take their keys and arrange beforehand to have a cab service ready to provide rides back home.
