Fall Fun!

It’s almost Fall!  The leaves are changing. It’s getting cool in the morning and evening. And it’s FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!

I’m not a football fan, but the season just makes you want to go to a game or two.  Nothing makes game day funner than spending it with friends and family.  Here are some tips to insuring you have an awesome and safe Game Day Party.

  1.        Have a space designated for your party.  Seem pretty simple and self-explanatory, but you have to set boundaries.  I can’t count the number of times that friends have told me about having a small gathering and a guest has ventured off the beaten path.  Set-up your party in a location that is close to the point of entry. 
  2.        Be sure that your room is big enough for the snack table.  If you are serving a meal, as opposed to snacks, you may want to consider a room that is beside your dining area.  This way your guests can flow in and out the room without missing vital parts of the game.
  3.     .   Provide plenty of seating.  Basic living room or den furniture is a sofa, loveseat, and armchair or recliner.  That’s seating for five to seven people.  A normal game day party includes six to ten people, plus your family.  Add some cushioned folding chairs or dining room chairs for additional seating.  To make your guest more comfortable, without sacrificing your own comfort too much, offer your guests the couches and sit the additional chairs in on either end of the sofas, and beside the arm chair.  This will allow anyone sitting in the additional chairs at least one arm rest.



Tune in next week when I offer some snack, meal, and drink ideas for game day.
