This is how you host the best World Cup watch party
When the orange madness breaks out, there are two types of people: those who plop down on the couch with an orange wig and plastic horn, and those who prefer to turn a World Cup watch party into a cozy summer celebration. We naturally belong to the latter category. With a table full of snacks, stylish accessories, and an atmosphere that makes you happy even after the final whistle, even with a bad result. How do you throw the best World Cup watch party? Let me take you along.
Skip the plastic orange
Although those plastic streamers are now everywhere for the taking, they are only short-lived. Because before you know it, after the World Cup, you have a box full of stuff you never look at again. Rather invest in beautiful items that you will use all summer long. Think of stylish glassware for your spritz, a stunning carafe, a large serving platter, a cozy solar-powered table lamp, or the garden trend of the moment: a statement umbrella.
World Cup-proof snacks & drinks
Forget the standard bowl of paprika chips, even though it’s orange, I know, and a bowl of bitterballen. A well-filled snack board and stylish cocktail make your watch party immediately cozier and look fantastic. At least, inspiration shouldn't be a problem. Just look below at how fun your options are:
