Party Planning for The Big Game

Party Planing Food and Decor Ideas for TheBig Game #PrepareToParty #CollectiveBias #Spon

The Big Game is coming up… and with one stop at Walmart, you can get everything you need to throw a fun and festive Homegate party! I’m sharing a yummy recipe, party planning ideas, a fun solitaire app to pass the time during half-time, a free printable and more. First up… a shopping trip. #PrepareToParty #CollectiveBias

I found the Ritz Crackers display right when I walk in the front of my local Walmart store. Needless to say, I snagged a few boxes.

 Next up: Coca-Cola Classic of course! The shelves in the front of Walmart were stocked so I snagged a few six packs of half liter bottles.

And what’s a good Homegate Party without PIZZA? The DiGiorno® Pepperoni STUFFED CRUST® Pizza was a must-have. I knew my guests would devour it. Adults and kids alike both love DiGiorno® Pepperoni STUFFED CRUST® Pizza. It’s easy to be a good hostess when you this pizza– created with real mozzarella cheese and vine-ripened tomatos from California. The neat thing is you can bake it up fresh in your oven when folks start getting hungry. These pizzas are currently on a Rollback at Walmart.

 Speaking of guests, half the fun of watching football is the food… starting with appetizers.  I decided to create a slightly spicy recipe for the crackers. I call it my “Ritz Blitz Topping Recipe.” It’s a twist on guacamole.

You just need a few delicious ingredients!

A Homegate party is the perfect place too serve these up! I couldn’t wait to serve Coca-Cola, Digiorno Pepperoni Stuffed Crust® Pizza and Ritz products at my Big Game Homegate Party!

Party Planing Food and Decor Ideas for TheBig Game #PrepareToParty #CollectiveBias #SponI knew my guests would want to grab a Coca-Cola and a Ritz Cracker snack as soon as they arrived, so I set up my table with that in mind. I dressed some of the bottles up with free printables (available below) and I created an area where people could “Spritz or Spread” their Ritz Cracker! I had Easy Cheese on hand as well as peanut butter and chocolate spread. Whether my guests were craving something cheesy or sweet… they were covered.

Here’s a fun touch: Game Predictor Cards. I set aside a space for guests to make their own predictions. The idea is to read them out loud after The Big Game and see who came the closest!

 Party Planing Food and Decor Ideas for TheBig Game #PrepareToParty #CollectiveBias #SponI also made a “football” out of Ritz Crackers and Easy Cheese (figuring that everyone would be grabbing a few).

The DiGiorno® Pepperoni STUFFED CRUST® Pizza looked inviting and yummy!
