If you’re crazy about basketball, you’re probably already planning a get together with friends and neighbours to watch the Raptors and Warriors go head to head to see who will be the overall winner of this year’s tournament.
If you want your event to be the best basketball event of the summer, then here are a few ideas to make your party go with a bang.
Basket Snacks
If you are inviting family and friends over to watch the game in your backyard thanks to your outdoor TV lift unit from Cabinet Tronix, you’d better have some great basketball themed snacks at the ready!
An easy way of feeding your guests without spending hours tied up in the kitchen is to pick up bags of chips and popcorn and pop them into small ‘basket’ style serving dishes. You should be able to find these in homewares stores under the guise of small waste-paper baskets or, just order online. For an added touch of basketball themed flavour, add a few dips in small glass bowls on the serving table so guests can go in for the dunk if they feel like it.
Another super easy sweet snack idea is turnovers for obvious reasons! Available in most stores for just a few dollars per pack, these little treats are a fun way of keeping hunger at bay before you fire up the grill later.
The main event
A grill staple, give your burgers a basketball makeover using a little dark brown food coloring and a small child’s paintbrush. Dip the brush into the colouring and draw a large cross on the bun. Next, draw two semicircles over the cross so your bun looks like a basketball and you’re done – basketball style burgers in minutes!
Dress code
By asking guests to wear their favourite basketball jerseys to your party, you’ll really be able to start getting into the swing of things. It doesn’t matter if their team of choice is in the final, its just a great way of injecting a little more fun into the event.
Seating and set up
Depending on the number of guests you’ve invited to your NBA Finals party, you might need a little extra seating, so ask around to see if anyone has a few fold-up chairs hanging around in their garage for unexpected visitors dropping by.
As Cabinet Tronix outdoor TV lift cabinets have with optional 360 degree swivel, you can set up your seating area anywhere you wish and aren’t restricted to just one area in the yard. Just make sure that you allow extra room for people to leave their seats to get another drink without them having to walk in front of the screen at crucial moments in the game.
