What’s a girl to do? Super Bowl Sunday has to be the most
masculine day of the entire year.
Julie Hunt, female
extraordinaire, offers 10 totally awesome ideas to women
planning and enjoying their Sunday, Feb. 6th Super Bowl
Soiree.
Because unless you want to plan an “Anti Super Bowl Party”
where you can escape for a few hours, let the guys do their
thing and paint the town red… the reality is most of us
girls will end up at a Super Bowl Party (and you may even be
the hostess of one).
And that means hanging out with excitable boys who can’t be
interrupted or ripped from the TV, eating almost as much
food as we do on Thanksgiving Day and grinning and bearing
the football nonsense to get through it all. Thank goodness
we’ve got Bono this year as our halftime hunny!
Why fight it? Might as well brighten up the day with a
little feminine energy and make it a day for everyone, not
just the boys.
So, here are the top 10 ways to enjoy a Simply Superb Super
Bowl Sunday.
1. Pre-game Role Reversal. Encourage the guys to perform a
pre-game cheer and let the girls huddle up to devise a play
and act it out. Make it an annual Super Bowl ritual and
elaborate on it every year.
2. Battle of the Sexes. Start a football pool for the girls.
Have each woman take exactly the opposite position of one of
the guys. And at the end of the day see who really knows
more about football.
3. MVP Awards. Keep a look out for the MVP party goers. Keep
secret voting ballots for the girls to pick:
Worst Joke Worst Behavior Best Behaved Heisman Trophy
Snack Winner Fewest Party Fouls Worst Party Fumble
4. Open Up the NFL Shop. Get the girls together before hand
and add a little football fun to your wardrobe. Make ‘NFL
Champion’ baby doll tees with nick names or code names. Buy
flashy Super Bowl rings as party favors.
5. Beer Blitz. Have the kids on clean up patrol all day
long. Give them trash bags and let them know that every
empty can they collect is money in their pocket. You’ll take
them down to the ‘Recycle Center’ and turn the cans into
cold hard cash. You might even match the money and then take
them to a special spot so they can spend it!
6. Toilet Penalties and Seat Fouls. Every time the boys
leave the seat up, girls get a 2 minute reprieve from the
football talk. Feel free to bring up any non Super Bowl
related topic for two whole minutes without being shushed!
7. Football Fun Trivia. Have a competition between the women
and the kids at the party and see who is up on their
football trivia. Send an email to julie@shesite.com with the
subject line “Super Bowl Trivia” for a silly Super Bowl
Trivia link that everyone (including women and kids) can
play. When you get it, you can print the email, make copies
and pass them out at halftime. Then when half time is over,
rip it up and use it for confetti!
8. Ice Cube Interception. Feel playful, flirtatious and let
your guy know it. Toss a cube his way with a wink and a wave
instead of shooting him long disapproving stares that could
create conflict later.
9. Get In The Game. Learn a few buzz words, game principles
or plays so you can get in to it. Get the quick tips Girl’s
Guide to Super Bowl Sunday at www.shesite.com with 10 of our
favorite football phrases and 3 quick-witted questions so
you can shoot the breeze and sound like a pro.
10. Footsie Fumble. Just in case the testosterone gets too
thick. Have pedicure spa goodies on stand by and ask the
girls to bring toe nail decals to trade and swap for a fun
pedicure moment in the 4th quarter. WARNING: For party
peace, this tip should only be used in case of an emergency.
Retreat off to the side (or even another room completely)
and never start it before halftime.
And if that doesn’t get you excited, maybe you should plan
an “Anti Super Bowl Party” after all. Forget the 10 tips
and skip straight to the age old and totally reliable ‘Anti
Super Bowl Standby.’
Go shopping!
If you can get away with the girls, do it! Enjoy the ghost
town you live in at its best!
You’ll find that most places, activities and attractions are
completely devoid of male human presence!
Try something new, go somewhere different or see something
you’ve been hoping to for a long time. Plan a Super Bowl fun
shopping day, lunch or visit to a museum.

the year, take a peek at www.shesite.com. And, enjoy the
