Try these three tips out, and you and your guests will enjoy your apartment all while showing your team spirit.

Set Up a Snack Spot

• Use your kitchen bar or dining room table to have all your snacks & drinks in one spot.

• Do a buffet-style table where the kitchen table is the dip zone and guests can sit down in the nearby room on a large pillow, footstool, or couch.

• If you don’t have a kitchen table, try using other areas like your kitchen countertop, or, fold-out futons out flat and place a large mirror on top that acts as a table's surface.

Rearrange Your Furniture

• Utilize a long coffee table with pillows or footstools as seating

• Don't be afraid to move your kitchen table into the family room or use a side bench instead of dining room chairs, so everyone has a place to sit.

• Make sure nothing is blocking a view of the tv, so everyone can enjoy the game action.

Be Smart With the Space You Have

• Have your guests label their drinks to avoid having a pile of dirty cups. • Use wine charms, drink stirrers, or a marker. • Designate a place for your guests to put their things to avoid feeling cramped, like a bedroom for purses and coats.

Wherever you live, you can throw some kind of game day party. Entertaining in a small space is a wonderful idea because it promotes coziness and closeness with your friends, family, and neighbors.

Whether it's a studio apartment or a three-bedroom apartment, you can host a great party as long as you prepare! If you find that you still need space, utilize the outdoor grilling areas or clubhouse in your Camden community.
