Share Super Bowl Party Photos
and Videos
Upload your Digital Party Pictures to Flickr, Facebook, Shutterfly or MySpace and upload your Video to YouTube and Facebook after your Super Bowl Party to share with your family, friends and co-workers.

Video Conferencing Super Bowl Party
For those people who can't be at your Super Bowl Party (especially your overseas friends and family), set up a FREE Web Conference using Skype — that way they can participate live during the event.

Here is how we we use Skype for our parties.

First, you need two FREE Skype accounts.  It only takes a few minutes to set up if you do not have them. With Skype you can make free voice and video calls over the Internet (Click to set up your Skype Accounts) You also need an unlimited internet connections at both locations to place the Skype Calls (most people have this service these days).

Before the party starts, we set the webcams and laptops up in a corner of the two locations you want to connect.

Make sure the Webcam is plugged into your computer, you've installed the webcam software that came with it and that it's switched on.

Dial each other using Skype and turn on the video.  Since the calls are completely free, we just leave the video conference up during the whole party.

Then people wander over to the cameras during the party and talk with each other, bet and taunt the other fans that are located in each party.

More Skype info or order a new High Quality Video webcam before the party.


Fun Super Bowl Gift Idea
Two to three weeks before your party, ask your guests which team they want to win the Super Bowl.

Order Fun Super Bowl-themed gifts in advance to give your guests to wear while watching the game — T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Hooded Sweatshirts... and more, featuring the names of the competing Super Bowl Teams' states, e.g. "New Orleans" for the Saints and "Indianapolis" for the Colts.

Buy Fun Gifts to wear or give out to your guests at your Super Bowl Party. Gifts feature Fun Travel Destinations and more...

Super Bowl Prizes
Have your guests pick a Team and give out prizes to the Super Bowl winner. Be creative with your gifts — you don't have to spend a fortune if you know where to shop. Go to the "Dollar Stores" Costco, BJs, Sams or Target for token gifts.

Super Bowl Beer & Wine
Purchase Beer in bulk at Costco, or have each of your guests bring a six-pack... or two. Plan on at least one six-pack per two-to-three people.

Buy a case of Charles Shaw "Two-Buck Chuck" wines from Trader Joe's — at under $30, it's an excellent value. We prefer the Cabernets and Merlots. Or ask your guests to bring a bottle of their favorite wine or what they like to drink. Plan on at least one 750 ml bottle of wine for every two-to-three people.

Be sure to have plenty of sodas, soft drinks, bottled water and coffee on hand for non-drinkers and "designated drivers."
