You and your buddies are going to be getting together for your fantasy football, and you naturally want to make it a special event. The sooner you start planning the party, the better. Below, we’ll be looking at some of the most important things to think about when it comes time for your fantasy football draft party.
The Right People
You need to know who you are going to invite and approximately how many people will likely be showing up. This will give you a better idea of what else you will need to do to properly prepare your draft party, including how much food and drink will be needed. When you are coming up with a list of people to invite, consider the type of entertainment and atmosphere that you would like to have.
A Good Location
When choosing a location for your fantasy football draft party, consider the number of people you are going to invite, the type of entertainment you’ll have, your food, and all the other important logistical matters of the party. You want to have a location that will be large enough for everyone to be comfortable and to spread out, for example. It could be done at a private residence if it’s large enough, or even at a large hotel suite where you and your friends can gather.
Consider the Food and Drinks
You have a couple of options here. You might want to have everything catered if you have the money and don’t want to handle any of the cooking yourself. Just have everyone chip in for it. You could also make it a BYO party where people bring their food and drinks, but that tends to be less fun. Opting for a potluck where people bring food to share could be a good idea. So could have a barbecue where you can grill. When determining the guest list, you might want to ask what some people prefer.
Some Unforgettable Entertainment
You want to make sure you have some entertainment, too. While the draft can be fun, you might need something a little bit more. For example, why not hire some sexy strippers or topless waitresses from Kitty Cat Now for the event? Turn a regular fantasy football draft into an unforgettable experience for your friends. Even if you don’t get the exact team you wanted, you are still going to be coming out of the experience with a grin on your face.
Don’t wait too long to start planning your draft party. The sooner you start and the better you plan the smoother the event will go.
