Snacks. Drinks. Rihanna. Funny commercials. RIHANNA. (And maybe some dudes running around on a field.)
If you like the classic Super Bowl vibes but aren’t really into “sportsing,” never fear: you can still host the Anti-Super Bowl party of your dreams. Here are some tips to help you celebrate food and fun without focusing on the big game:
1. Set the tone: Make sure your guests know that this is an anti-Super Bowl party by sending out invitations that clearly state the theme. You could also decorate your space with signs and banners that say, "No Football Here" or "Super Bowl Shmooper Bowl” to make sure nobody shows up expecting to actually watch the game.

2. Provide alternative entertainment: Instead of watching the game, provide alternative entertainment for your guests. This could include board games, video games, or even a movie marathon. You could also have a potluck and encourage guests to bring their favorite dish. Consider activities that can be done in front of the TV, so you can take breaks to catch the best advertisements (and watch the halftime show, of course).

3. Pick a Theme: Choose an anti-football theme and encourage your friends to dress appropriately to up the fun factor. Maybe your theme is as simple as “Rihanna concert,” maybe it’s “Met Gala,” “James Bond,” or even, “90s Chick Flicks.” Whatever you choose, make sure you pick the perfect drink to complement the evening.

4. Make it a fundraiser: Hosting an anti-Super Bowl party is a great way to raise money for a good cause. You could ask for donations or sell tickets to the event and donate the proceeds to a charity of your choice. You could also put together a raffle with paid entries and a fun prize!

5. Have fun: The most important thing is to have fun. After all, any excuse for a party is a good excuse!
