Whether you are a die-hard football fan or you are just in it for the commercials, chances are you’ll be spending Super Bowl Sunday in front of the TV. It’s a great excuse to get together with friends, but if you’ve waited until the last minute to plan a get-together, I’ve got you covered.
Procrastinators, instead of fumbling over a sophisticated party spread and getting stressed out, save yourself some time and energy, head to Walmart, and grab these shortcut game day-inspired party supplies.
Get in the spirit.
Pick up a black makeup crayon to give guests the fierce face of a football player. Have your guests dress in spirit wear too, like shirts in team colors or a jersey. Their gear alone will make the casual get-together feel football festive.
Ditch the dishwashing.
Napkins and paper goods are an easy way to sneak in some team spirit too, plus you get to minimize the clean-up by going disposable. Walmart has a variety of colorful plates so grab the right ones and let guests show who they are rooting for. If you want to go the extra distance, pick up some affordable plastic Super Bowl plates too. Serve your grub on them and make the feeding frenzy that much more fun.
Make the freezer your friend.
You don’t always have to be overzealous in the kitchen, especially when you want to watch the game with your guests. Save time and energy by hitting up the the freezer section in the snack and appetizer aisle at Walmart and pickup up some classic munchies like Frank’s RedHot
Our favorite hot sauce, Franks RedHot, now has their own wings! They come in three delicious flavors, Frank’s RedHot Original, Kickin’ BBQ, and Buffalo flavor, perfect for a last-minute snack-fest.
We knew we couldn’t go wrong with Frank’s RedHot Original.
Did you know that Frank’s RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce was used as the secret ingredient for the first ever Buffalo Wings in Buffalo, New York, putting it on the map and starting the flavor craze that has led to consumers obsession with all things Buffalo-flavor? 
The sauce is a staple in our kitchen, so we know these easy-to-bake wings will be the MVP of our food spread.
Spice up your space.
A last minute party is no excuse for a boring space. Hit up the hardware section and grab some paint swatches in the team colors. With a few snips of your scissors, some toothpicks and tape, you can liven up your space with some mini pennant flags.
Whip up a dip.
Pick up bite size snacks and popular finger foods too so your guests can graze during the game. Potato chips take no effort, but try dressing up the spread and personalizing them a bit with a quick and easy homemade dip. This whipped feta gets its flavor punch from lemon zest and Franks RedHot sauce. Its a fuss-free dip that guests will gobble up.
Even if Super Bowl Sunday sneaks up on you, give yourself a break with these last minute ideas. You’ll still get plenty of high-fives.
Do you have any last minute game day party ideas?

My husband loves hot wings! I’ll have to pick some of these up the next time we’re at Walmart.
That’s great! Enjoy! They are tasty!
Get in my belly! I didn’t know Franks had actual wings now! GAME CHANGER! That dip sounds delicious, too.
Totally! Hope you get to give them a try!
Great tips. Love the flags from paint strips. I love a cream cheese, chili, cheese dip. Veggie dip a must too!
Thanks, Erin! I’ll take any of those tasty bites on a game day spread.
First, can I come to your house for the Super Bowl?
Second, HOW DID I NOT KNOW THERE WERE FRANKS WINGS?!?!? My husband is obsessed with Franks and would LOVE these. Thank you so much for sharing.
LOL! We were pretty psyched to learn about these wings too since we put this sauce on almost everything. They were really tasty with the same great flavor!
Wow! Those Hot Wings look great! I’m all about finger party food for any and all occasions, especially a big game! I’ll be sure to grab a bag of these wings and try or ourselves.
Finger food at a game day is a must!
i love these ideas. although i have not been procrastinating i have become all about things to make my life easier!
Yes-I totally get that! Thanks!
We love Frank’s RedHot Sauce, my son even puts it on his eggs. Your recipe sounds so good, I’m going to have to give it a try!
We put it on eggs too! It’s the perfect amount of heat!
I don’t eat a lot of wings, so I have never tried the brand, but I’m sure my husband would love these. I like how you paired them with the fresh veggie tray and the dip. Your presentation is beautiful even for a casual football game. You are so clever to use the paint swatches for flag decor! My family mostly watches college sports, but when the super bowl rolls around, my football-loving family is all in. I’m usually blogging or doing something else! 😉
Thanks for all the support! My family is always all in on game day too.
Franks Red Hot sauces are some of my families favorites for wings and chicken dip. Such great flavor. This whipped feta dip sounds awesome too!!
Thanks, Amber! It is definitely a kitchen staple and the wings had the same great flavor!
When it comes to gameday food, it’s all about the buffalo!
True story!
Thanks for the great ideas for game day! My husband loves feta cheese so I can’t wait to make your dip! Your little flags are super cute – I never would have thought to do that!
Thanks, Lori! The dip was a hit and you can control the heat on it. The flags are fun and the price is right! lol
Perfect! I can’t wait to try it! Lol on the flags
My husband would be in heaven with this food! Such great game day ideas!
My husband was in foodie heaven! He’d eat wings every day if he could.
These are such fun tips! I absolutely love the paint chip garnishes and using paper dishes. And those red hot wings look pretty awesome, too!
Thanks, Amy! The wings are so convenient and were a big hit!
Getting in the spirit is good, but you had me at “ditch the dishwashing!” I have a bag of mini peppers in my fridge that are begging for this dip.
The mini peppers will pair perfectly with this whipped feta!
Ooh I must try that feta dip!
Enjoy!
