Top tips for hosting the Ultimate World Cup football party

With the 2018 World Cup right around the corner, the country is electric with excitement and anticipation. Families and friends throughout all corners of the world will come together for a month of celebrating and commiserating. If you’re planning to make the most of the games by inviting friends over, you may be wondering how to host a party. Don’t worry, we’re here to help. We’ve put together a few tips and suggestions to ensure that your world cup football party is the talk of the town. Create some space Whether you’re planning to invite everyone you know or just a few friends, you need to make sure you’ve got enough space for everyone. This could mean moving some furniture around in your living room so everyone can squeeze in to watch the game. If the weather is nice, you could even move things outside with a lawn table or garden chairs. It doesn’t matter whether you have a mansion or a terrace house, it’s all about making use of your space. Prepare snacks If you’re planning on hosting the ultimate world cup party celebration, you’ll need to make sure that your guests don’t go hungry. Cheering your favourite players on can work up quite an appetite so it’s a good idea to prepare all of your snacks and treats beforehand. Fridge-friendly food storage bowls are great for keeping all kinds of food fresh and full of flavour. Get the drinks in With such a special event like the World Cup, you want to make sure all of your guests have a drink in their hand. Stocking the fridge with a good selection of drinks is a sure-fire way to make sure your friends and family have a great time watching the game. Now is a great time to stock up on glassware so you can cater to everyone at your world cup party and other summer events. Luckily, we have a great range of decanters, pitchers and drinks glasses for every occasion. Play games Nothing takes a party to the next level like games and fun challenges, especially when everyone is already excited and in a good mood. Add an extra element to your world cup party with classic party games with a football twist. For the adults at the party, you could invent some drinking games to play while watching the match. Pick certain words and every time the commentators say it, take a drink. The possibilities are endless so have fun! Bring out the big screen Last but definitely not least, you need to make sure you have a TV to watch the game on during your world cup event. You don’t need a cinema-sized screen but if you’re planning to invite a lot of friends, it helps to have a TV big enough for everyone to see. If you have a friend or family member with a bigger screen, see if they’ll lend it to you for your party.
