What’s a girl to do? Super Bowl Sunday has to be most masculine day of entire year. Julie Hunt, female extraordinaire, offers 10 totally awesome ideas to women planning and enjoying their Sunday, Feb. 6th Super Bowl Soiree. Because unless you want to plan an “Anti Super Bowl Party” where you can escape for a few hours, let guys do their thing and paint town red… reality is most of us girls will end up at a Super Bowl Party (and you may even be hostess of one).
And that means hanging out with excitable boys who can’t be interrupted or ripped from TV, eating almost as much food as we do on Thanksgiving Day and grinning and bearing football nonsense to get through it all. Thank goodness we’ve got Bono this year as our halftime hunny!
Why fight it? Might as well brighten up day with a little feminine energy and make it a day for everyone, not just boys.
So, here are top 10 ways to enjoy a Simply Superb Super Bowl Sunday.
1. Pre-game Role Reversal. Encourage guys to perform a pre-game cheer and let girls huddle up to devise a play and act it out. Make it an annual Super Bowl ritual and elaborate on it every year.
2. Battle of Sexes. Start a football pool for girls. Have each woman take exactly opposite position of one of guys. And at end of day see who really knows more about football.
3. MVP Awards. Keep a look out for MVP party goers. Keep secret voting ballots for girls to pick: Worst Joke Worst Behavior Best Behaved Heisman Trophy Snack Winner Fewest Party Fouls Worst Party Fumble
4. Open Up NFL Shop. Get girls together before hand and add a little football fun to your wardrobe. Make ‘NFL Champion’ baby doll tees with nick names or code names. Buy flashy Super Bowl rings as party favors.
5. Beer Blitz. Have kids on clean up patrol all day long. Give them trash bags and let them know that every empty can they collect is money in their pocket. You’ll take them down to ‘Recycle Center’ and turn cans into cold hard cash. You might even match money and then take them to a special spot so they can spend it!
6. Toilet Penalties and Seat Fouls. Every time boys leave seat up, girls get a 2 minute reprieve from football talk. Feel free to bring up any non Super Bowl related topic for two whole minutes without being shushed!
