I asked my husband what he would like to have at his Super Bowl party, and he promptly replied with, Beer. Ok. What else? Food that goes with beer. Ok. Anything fun and cute? *blank stare*
So, when Ross Dress for Less asked if I would like to shop for my Super Bowl party at their store, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity for me to deviate a little from my typical cutesy parties and put on something a little more…manly.
I had a mission to look for party set-up pieces in woods and darker tones. Ross did not disappoint. The first thing I found were the fun nesting crates with yellow chevron. I hesitated since yellow wasn’t one of the Super Bowl team colors this year, but they are versatile enough that they don’t distract from the theme. I used those crates as my main inspiration and added the other pieces from there.
The chalkboard is a really cool shutter turned on its side. I found it hidden behind some wall décor and it fit into my theme so perfectly that I felt like I found a hidden gem!
Ross has a great selection of beer mugs, pilsner glasses and pint glasses. I chose the handled mason jars because they came with lids and I knew I would use them again. When looking for party pieces, I try to shop wise and purchase items that I can put to use around my house or for future parties.
My absolute favorite find was the wooden six-pack carrier. Absolutely perfect for this party! Also, the galvanized bucket was great for keeping extra drinks cold.
For food, I served a big pot of Cincinnati-style chili and a hot dog bar. Chili is always a Super Bowl crowd pleaser.
For party snacks I found a few of my husbands favorites in the gourmet food aisle: hot and spicy snack mix, wasabi peas, and toffee popcorn. The selection was great and it was hard to not go overboard picking out snacks and sweets.
I loved that this party came together without the need to add a lot of extra DIY touches. Finding perfect décor pieces and yummy snacks at Ross Dress for Less meant that I had to prep very little to put this party together. This easy party set-up is great for those who are busy but still want to impress their guests with great party style.
