How to Throw a Watch Party
A watch party takes a screen, a schedule, and enough food. Here is a simple plan for game day, including how much to order and when.
A watch party is a group gathering to watch the game together. To throw one you need a screen, the kickoff time, seating, and enough food. Here is a simple plan for a game day watch party, including how much to order and when.
Pick the game
Start with the schedule. Check the kickoff time for the game you want to watch, and plan the party around it.
Set up the space
Put the biggest screen where everyone can see it, check the sound, and add seating for your head count. Keep the food table away from the screen so people can refill without blocking the view.
Plan the food
Use simple math: one large pizza for about every three people, and four to six wings per person. For 12 guests, plan roughly four pizzas and 50 to 70 wings. A watch party package already bundles this by size.
Order ahead
Game days are busy, so order before kickoff. Small orders 24 hours ahead, big games two to three days ahead, and the biggest games a week or more in advance. Bella Pizza delivers across the Meadowlands and is about 3 miles from MetLife Stadium.
