1. Kicking Off the Party Way Too Early

• Many people in Nashville (as well as the rest of
  the country) love watching football games at
  parties.
• If you combine the actual game length with the
  pregame, you may end up watching football for as
  long as 11 hours in total!
• Although throwing a party for 11 hours sounds
  fun, the fact of the matter is that will be way
  too long for such an event.
• There is nothing wrong with starting the party
  reasonably early to hype guests up for the big
  game.
• You can have a couple of drinks with them and
  even serve some snacks.
• We suggest starting the party one hour before the
  game.

2. Feeding Guests Party Favors Too Early

• Serving food when youre hosting a party is
  essential.
• BUT if you serve an excessive amount of food too
  early to guests, this could backfire on you.
• Usual go-to menu for viewing parties consists of
  bite-sized snacks such as
• Chips and salsa
• Chicken wings
• Pizza
• Soda or beer
• Ensure that the choices you provide arent messy.
  
• Remember the last thing you want to do is
  overindulge guests.

3. Serving Beverages That Are Too Strong

• Alcohol helps people loosen up before the big
  game and allows guests to let their guard down,
  relax, and act silly in a fun way.
• However, if the drinks you served are way too
  strong, behaviors can shift, and not for the
  better.
• Overly intoxicated guests can ruin the mood for
  those who can
• handle their liquor or arent drinking at all.
• Consider just serving beverages like wine and
  beer.

4. Lacking the Proper TV or Projection Setup

• The screen youre watching the game on is of
  significant importance.
• Your projector screen or TV should be large
  enough for everybody to watch the game on.
• Therefore the more guests you are inviting, the
  bigger your TV or projector screen should be.
• Guests wont enjoy themselves if they arent able
  to see anything.
• If you dont have a screen big enough, consider
  renting one.
• Also, dont forget about the audio!
