It's Show Time

While watching the big game or a season finale isn't always a major social event--who's to say you can't do more than just watch the show? Actually watching a show or ball game together can be a great casual event that you can invite a large number of people to depending on the size of your place. But the number one rule when it comes to a show time celebration...play to your audience! If they are a "shh...get out of the way, the game is on" kind of crowd, don't try to make them do anything other than enjoy their game.

Invitations: Any type of invite or even word-of-mouth would work for this event

Food: Some type of snack or appetizer and drinks is recommended. Look to the game/show you will be watching for inspiration. Is the show associated with some type of food, color or shape? Try to utilize those in your food set-up.

Activities: Additional activities are not necessary considering the main event of the evening is watching the show. But if you want to do a little game or mixer it would be appropriate. Here are a few ideas:
- Take a poll as to what everyone will think the outcome of the show will be. If it is for a ballgame, have everyone guess what the final score will be. If it for a season finale have everyone guess how the episode will end. Provide a little prize at the end of the show for the person with the closest prediction.
- Put together a few trivia questions regarding what you are watching to quiz the audience during commercial breaks. The questions can be about what has happened in previous games or episodes or about individual players or characters.
- Create a little challenge for your audience to compete in that has to do with the show. Whether it is a paper football tournament for the Superbowl or a round of Operation for a medical drama season finale, it's always fun to get up & have a little challenge.
