How to Plan "The Simpsons" Premiere Party

Introduction

"The Simpsons" fans each year gather for the season premiere. Hosting a premiere party is a great way to celebrate the much-loved show. With some proper planning and the right theme, hosting "The Simpsons" premiere party is fun and easy.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Plan "The Simpsons" Premiere Party

Steps

1

Step One

Do a survey before the party for favorite Simpsons episodes. Rent the DVDs with those episodes to show earlier in the evening, leading up to showtime.
2

Step Two

Select some "Treehouse of Horror" episodes to watch before the big viewing. Since "The Simpsons" almost always premieres with a "Treehouse of Horror" episode, watching old episodes of these classic Halloween cartoons may help build anticipation among your guests.
3

Step Three

Count the number of times Homer says "Do'h" when showing the older episodes. You will have to watch them before hand to count the correct number. Give a prize to the person who counts the number correctly each episode.
4

Step Four

Pick up a few Simpsons board games and set them on tables for your guests. Monopoly, Clue, Life and Operation all have their own versions of the game using "The Simpsons."
5

Step Five

Serve up some of Homer's favorite drinks. You may want to substitute the beer for root beer, but in a frosty mug, it will be just as good. You can also try you hand at a Flaming Moe (or a Flaming Homer, depending on where your loyalties lie) by following the recipe at iDrink (see Resources below).
6

Step Six

Offer some of Homer's favorite foods at your party. Simpsons fans know Homer will eat just about anything, but sweets and pork chops are his favorite. While pork chops might be a stretch unless your guests plan to come for dinner, donuts, cookies and candy of any kind will work!
7

Step Seven

Show your hospitality and play the role of Moe and serve people like Moe would in the bar. Be sure to serve your guests on "The Simpsons" party plates.
8

Step Eight

Ask guests to dress up as their favorite character from "The Simpsons." Give away gift certificates to the local donut shop as prizes.
9

Step Nine

Give away party bags at the end of the night. Pick up some small bags and fill them with Simpsons related treasures. You can find small items such as pencils and playing cards at your local toy store.
