It is also important to have plenty of snacks.
The Food Network adds, "What Super Bowl party would be complete without lots and lots of snacking? Keep guests fully satisfied by arranging your entire spread on the coffee table where it's easily accessible. Don't forget small snack plates and napkins for easy noshing, and keep an eye out for any dishes that need replenishing throughout the game."
