Nothing can turn a party up more than a dank spread of finger foods. Spend some time in the kitchen before making things like jalapeño poppers or pigs in blankets.

It's game day. A lot of people are going to be ordering pizza. Be smart and order yours early. You can toss it in the oven at a low temperature to keep it warm. This way, you'll all be fed and focused on the game.

10. Toss some wings in the oven before the game.

11. And make some celebration (or consolation) brownies.

Have all your cups, liquids, and tools in one easy-to-reach place. If your party is BYOB, make sure to leave a spot for your mixers and your liquors.

13. Don't get your drinks mixed up.

Whose drink is whose is a thing of the past with silly drink markers like these party plungers. Nobody wants a mouthful of someone else's mixed drink.

14. Keep your drinks cold without wasting a ton of ice.

Freezing ice packs before the game and using smart coolers like this one to keep your drinks cold will help to make sure everyone has a drink in their hand and you won't have to go on an ice run mid-game.

Win or lose, you've still got booze. Every game is better with a little Oak and Cola.
