Presentation Pointers:

1. Super Bowl parties are all about buffet-style. Have your main courses at a separate table and let your guests reload as they please! Keep some snacks and appetizers near the television though for some more convenient snacking.

2. If possible, set up a table in front of the television so that guests can enjoy their eats comfortable and not miss a play!

3. If you can find some on sale at your local party store, football-themed paper plates or tablecloths will complete the look of your fun get-together.
