Here’s an example of a comprehensive to-do list to guide you through the process of planning your Penn State Football party:
1-2 Weeks Before the Party:
• Plan the menu, including snacks, desserts, and cocktails. **Pro Tip: ask you planner to provide recipes as well!
• Use Eventio's Design Rendering Feature to visualize your party's set up (see example below)
• Purchase Penn State-themed decorations & tableware using Eventio's 'Shop & See' feature
• Send out invitations with details about the theme.
• Buy ingredients for cocktails and stock up on drinks.

2-3 Days Before the Party:

A great party starts with great food and drinks. For your Penn State football-themed party, consider serving classic game day snacks like chicken wings, dips, and a charcuterie board. But don’t stop there—elevate your party with some Penn State-inspired cocktails for anyone who may not want to drink beer.
Cocktail Suggestions:
• Nittany Lion Lemonade: A refreshing blue cocktail with vodka, blue curaçao, and lemonade.
