Super Bowl Party with Pizzazz
Party Ideas
Who hasn't been to a Super Bowl party? More often than not, the real fans are in the great room watching the TV and everyone else is in the kitchen indulging in their version of Super Bowl - eating & drinking. Entertaining two groups of people at one time is not easy. Here are some tips to make it fun & easy.

1. Send an invitation full of fun and confetti to set the mood. Be sure to send them out early!

2. Decorate the house. Use banners & balloons to let people know which house. Colorful lights & footballs or fooze balls on tables. Convenient coolers help guests grab a drink without going far from the game.

Budget a Wedding
Write up a Wish List

Spend some time on web sites like The Knot and Monadnock Bridal Show. Write up a wish list is everything you could possibly wish for your wedding. THEN get price quotes.

Now is the time to pare down dollars to meet your budget. By getting prices on everything you can easily see what things you can 'live without'. You may find that some 'wish list items' are not as expensive as you thought and can easily be inserted into even a bare bones budget.

Reception (50% of budget)

1. Cut the guest list.

2. Think off-peak season and not Saturday to save thousands of dollars

3. Have your ceremony and reception in the same place

4. Use bigger tables so you need fewer centerpieces & shop off-season (black vases after Halloween, pink ones after Valentines day.

5. Serve beer, wine & a signature cocktail instead of a full bar.

6. Serve comfort foods like barbecue chicken, mac & cheese, and corn. It's fun and cheaper

6. Skip the champagne toast. read below

Valentine Party

3. Gather small sleds, plastic saucers, snowball makers and fill several tubs with scarfs, hats, twigs, pinecones, carrots, etc for making snowmen.

4. Use a spray bottle with water & red rood coloring and draw 3 hearts, one inside the other and add point values (25,50,100). Each child gets three snow balls to toss into the hearts. The winners get a bag of heart shaped candies.

5 Making Snow Angels is another fun activity

6. Bring everyone inside for lunch. Gather the around the fireplace or wood stove and hand out hot chocolate with marshmallows. Fill the personalized name bags with lunch; a sandwich, chips, a piece of fruit. Tell the kids to save their bags for collecting their valentines.

7. Line up the bags and have each child put a valentine in and hand them out.

8. Dessert can be a snowman cake with Oreo cookie eyes, M&Ms for the smile, a scarf of sugared fruit, Hershey Kisses for buttons and a big red candy Heart.

Kid's Valentine Party

Kids want to be included in this fun mid-winter holiday.

1. For the invitation cut out snowflakes or hearts. Add glitter & write the invitation information on the back. Send them to everyone in the child's class. Tell them to bring three dozen valentines to exchange and wear warm clothing, boots & mittens

2. As the responses come in make up personalized bags for each child. These will be used to gather their valentines in later.

Super Bowl

3. Set your table with bright colors & lots of snacks, maybe balloons for the centerpieces. Red & yellow napkins for penalty & challenge flags, football napkins rings etc.

4. Set up some fun games. A no-brainier is the betting pool board, best commercials, best sponsors.

5. Think up a fun favor as a thank you for everyone coming; beer glasses, coasters, small footballs.

6. Copy the Super Bowl Grid below and print out copies. Set up a Super Bowl Pool Board and let the game begin.

Set

End the night with a great favor. A personalized candy bar or beer sunglasses. back to top

10. Use non floral decorations like votive candles, lanterns.

Cakes (2% of budget)

11. Order a small one or two tiered cake and have a larger sheet cake (hidden in the back) to supplement

Parking/Transportation (3% of budget)

19. Instead of limousines ask your friends with roomy SUVs or really cool 'rigs' to chauffeur the wedding party
