8 Tips For The Big Game Or Any Party You Are Having

If you purchase something after clicking on the links in this post, I’ll probably earn a few bucks from it. We aren’t talking enough for a mansion or yacht but more like chocolate and wine. And if I mention a product, I probably got a sample and possibly a cash payment. Remember that all Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings are 100% my own and may not represent your experience.

Who doesn't love this time of year? Madison's birthday is at the beginning of January, and my favorite football team is in the playoffs! This year I am sick (if you don't follow me on Facebook, I've currently got mono and pneumonia. 2017 definitely started with a bang.). Therefore, I need all the help I can get! I've used Peapod for years, so they, of course, were my go to for all my party needs.

  1. Paper products. There is nothing worse than missing the last quarter because you are doing dishes. My immediate family is over 20 people, so there are no small parties at our house. After spending many years spending hours at the sink, I got smart. We get paper plates and plastic silverware, and I now know who won the gameA!
  2. Order party trays. There is nothing easier than just pulling out a tray and putting it on the table. I love not having to find a bowl or anything else. They also usually look nicer than anything I could do.
  3. Cupcakes vs cake. I use to always have cake left over. I have a lot less waste with cupcakes plus my kids request them now.
  4. For the big game, fun food is always a hit. I know my family loves these Football Cookies.Football cookies 2-1[yumprint-recipe id='44']
  5. Make lists. Check them twice. Seriously, a list will save you. I make a grocery one and a cleaning one. Then I cross off things as I get them.
  6. Self serve. Beer and wine can be ordered from Peapod, and we just throw them in a cooler. (Check local delivery options to make sure this option is available in your area) Everybody can help themselves to whatever they need and/or want. For the kids, we get juice boxes!
  7. Ask people to bring things. Everyone always asks — take them up on their offer. Less for you to do means less stress for you!
  8. Order from Peapod. Why spend time in a grocery store when you can have your items delivered right to your door? They have great delivery times (and you don't even need to be home (aff) for all of them!). If you are home (aff), they carry everything right into your kitchen! Plus, they take coupons!

These are just a few things I do make a party as stress free as possible. Since Peapod made this party so easy, I have a great promotional code you can use to save $25 off any order $90 (new customers only) or more. Use code SHOPSHARE25 when you check out (this expires12/31/17.)
