March Madness Viewing Party

We like sports pretty well around here (yes, even me)–especially col­lege ones! And, we love a good excuse to get together with friends! So, March Mad­ness is the per­fect oppor­tu­nity to host a party! 

I got some great ideas for our party from Party BluPrints! They sug­gested a “bar food” type theme with all kinds of yummy things!
  

I was imme­di­ately drawn to the Orville Reden­bacher Pop Up Bowls since we liked them so much before, the Buf­falo Chicken Dip, and the Whoopie Pies. We headed out for a lit­tle shop­ping trip to get all of our sup­plies. (You can read more about that on Whrrl here).

Looks like party food, huh?! We decided that pizza would be eas­ier than wings with the  kid­dos around. So, we went that route for a “main dish”. As soon as we got home, I made the buf­falo chicken dip (full recipe details com­ing soon) and did a dif­fer­ent twist on the Whoopie pies! :)  
After those were done, we got out the ranch dip, veg­gies, chips, and of course, popped our Orville Pop­corn
Then, I got a bril­liant idea! Our kitchen table is a brown cir­cle, why not make it a bas­ket­ball with a lit­tle elec­tri­cal tape?!  Fun!

Here’s the whole munchie spread, just wait­ing for our friends to get there. Big Brother’s bas­ket­ball board book was the per­fect addi­tion! 

 For the kids to enjoy some March Mad­ness fun, we brought in their lit­tle bas­ket­ball hoop! They had such a good time! Even the lit­tlest guy got in on the action! 

  Love this shot of the dad­dies watch­ing the game & the babies! :)
 We all had a great time watch­ing the game, eat­ing great food, and hang­ing out! 
What types of “watch” par­ties do YOU like to do?

    I love this! We live in France so the games come on super late and we don’t have the right stuff to watch them at our house! But I would love to throw a party like this! My hus­band plays pro­fes­sion­ally, so how fun!
