Match Day: Hosting checklist for the best watch party

Before you start planning and ordering, you must have your ultimate match day checklist in place. We've created a placeholder event day checklist to stay on top of things so you can start there and add things to do as per your preference. Some things you have to keep in mind -

• Lock down a match date and time, depending on which day works best for all your guests
• Choose between an indoor or outdoor match-day set-up
• Create an invite for a personalised touch and send it out way in advance
• Set a budget and try to stick to it – this includes your set-up, snacks, beverages and party favours
• Plan the menu, keeping allergies and preferences in mind
• Have board games and speakers handy for some pre-match or post-match entertainment
• Decide on your decor choices and create a match day decorations checklist so everything is covered.

Once you have a fair idea of everything you need, get to ordering. Here are some things you can order from Amazon and get them delivered to your doorstep for an easier and hassle-free process, and when you do it via InterMiles, you earn Miles on every transaction.
