While guests are arriving and waiting for their favorite teams to make their first appearance on screen, you may want to do a pre-game warm up with attendees by playing party games!
The words “party games” might scare some of the men, but if you call it a “challenge”, “race”, or “trivia warm up”, you could still get their attention. Plus, it serves as a great way to break the ice between strangers so when the big game begins, you'll all be on the same team.
Two games (or challenges, races, or trivia warm ups) to get your party-goers into the competitive spirit on game day are NFL Nickname Race and Mighty Mascot Match.
NFL Nickname Race - $6.99
Why wait until the game starts to have fun? It won't matter if you're tailgating, or at home with friends and family on game day, this will keep the crowd entertained! Players race to match up NFL teams to nicknames associated with the team. For a little added competition, divide the group up into teams.
Mighty Mascot Match - $6.99
Find out who the real NFL fanatics are as players race to match NFL mascots (past, present and even unofficial ones) to the team. Play individually or in teams.

Couples showers are great fun, and we've seen some totally awesome party pics to prove it! But the truth is, pictures can lie.
For example, the hostess (after the party) might say:
"We had a great time! It was a Co-ed Shower so i was worried the guys would get bored...but we had a great time and the games were a hit!"
But a male guest might leave saying:
"Someone had the bright idea of hosting a 'couples' bridal shower that I went to and to be honest, it felt about as awkward as a middle s... Continue reading...
