You know that huge party you’re planning to throw for March Madness? With the really, really good snacks? We’ve got some ideas (like Moroccan Madness Pizza) and reminders that’ll guarantee a slam-dunk time:

 

 

The most memorable shindigs usually come down to the details, and that’s where setting comes in. Of course, you can’t forget putting out the décor—we recommend classic basketball colors (orange, black, and white)—but you really can’t forget the music. Spend some time creating a fun playlist with sports-friendly tunes (for when the game isn’t on).

 

We respect the sofa’s traditional role of Keeper of Chip Crumbs, Pennies, and All Lost Toys, but today it has a new job: comfortable, clean seating. Clear up the clutter and throw in some extra pillows/blankets if necessary. Consider adding some extra seating around the room as well, and don’t forget to keep the bathroom routes very, very obstacle-free.

Record, record, record. Technology is a thing we should use, and use often (especially if it means replaying that LAST. SECOND. 3 POINTER)

 

 Pick out a new wine or beer to try from our featured What’s Hot picks for this week!

 

Score big with your beverages. Invest in a variety you think your guests will enjoy, and place them in one spot (away from the television) to keep things simple and easy to clean up. Don’t forget to chill ahead of time.

 

Cowboy Nachos, Cheddar Bacon Ranch dip, Wings and more. . . yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You need it all (and you can get it all at your local Brookshire Brothers—on sale too!)

 

 

Literally, no trash/nothing/nada will be left behind if you look into putting a little hoop over your wastebasket. It may be cliché but—trust us—everyone secretly loves this particular cliché.
