Party planning: decorations, goods, seating, and music

When you're planning a sports-themed party, having the proper set-up in place is crucial. Follow these tips, and your sports-themed spread will be a hit.

• To get guests in the mood for the game, hang up pennants, jerseys, or memorabilia from your favorite team. Or, string up some blinking holiday lights to encourage the roar of the crowd.
• To serve food and drinks to a big crowd, stock up on paper plates, napkins, plastic cups, and disposable utensils at Giant Eagle^®. Disposable dinnerware makes clean-up a breeze for you. Want an extra-festive table? Small, team-themed favors or sports gift cards will get guests in the mood to root for the win.
• During the game, keep plenty of garbage bags for throw-aways, and have some rags and all-purpose cleaner at the ready in case of spills.
• Consider playing music as your guests munch and mingle. Spin tunes or download party favorites. Remember to purchase iTunes^® gift cards at Giant Eagle^® to earn fuelperks!^®.
