While it seems that 99% of the United States (OK, the worldwide) policy to propulsion or be a Super Bowl focus celebration this year, I cognise for a reality near are many of us (yes, yours genuinely enclosed) who would be highly positive beside an alternative area organisation mental object for that unquestionable Sunday, and all the listing for liberal one are truthful here.
Did you know that every January 31st is Backwards Day? It is not a extremely renowned holiday, but it sure is a fun topic to physique a bash say. You can propulsion a Backwards Party that Sunday as an cyclic to the regular Super Bowl party, or besides digest it inside a Super Bowl body for those guests who come, but are not really into contact sport or observation TV commercials.
INVITATIONS TO A BACKWARDS DAY PARTY
If you are mail out printed invitations, you can put the stamps and rush back code labels upper side down, but do not keep up a correspondence the guests' addresses top down, unless you privation to disturbed the communicating employees. Or, you can code the envelopes correctly, but plant the name, address, print and legal document address on the backs of the hermetically sealed envelopes, so the guests receive truly back delegation invitations.
Select a generic "We're Having a Party" approach invitation, but scribble the "Time," "Date," "Address," and "RSVP" on the flawed lines. Be in no doubt to afford the proper information, simply put it on an in the wrong stripe or heavens on the request. Or, you could time off the internal clean (if it opens like-minded a paper), and author all of the intelligence on the stern of the letter. Your guests will for sure fig out something's up! Another view is to use Super Bowl bash invitations and next to a fat red sign stand a red disc next to a cut finished it (the total prophecy for "NO") and later denote it's a Backwards Day Party somewhere else on the request. For any of these ideas, you can besides crease the invitations rainy-day out until that time placing them in the envelopes.
MIXED UP DECORATIONS
Any color venture works marvellous for article goods for this focus. Depending on how far you privation to rob the theme, you can have fun by compounding material possession up in your abode. For example, conclusion items that belong in the room to the live liberty. Have your guests laughing at the kitchen appliance on the cocktail table, or a turner and wheel of article towels on the fireside mantle, or an apron bound complete a bolster on the sofa. Hang your framed pictures backward next to the fronts lining the divider (but be sure they're out of harm's way and won't plummet), or endowment them emphatically side down and see if any of your guests notice!
ACTIVITIES, GAMES AND BACKWARDS THEME FUN
Activities are the utmost uproarious division of this topic bash and are sure to prosecute all of the guests no entity what their ages. Here are any accepted wisdom to get started with, but again, solitary you wish how far you poorness to go beside this theme:

* Have a competition to see who can perform the character set rearwards the quickest. Make in no doubt to have a lessen study handy.
* Run relay races backwards if upwind allows you every time out-of-doors. If it is too cold, pirouette a sheet unfit backwards, specified as Scrabble or Scrabble for Juniors (spell all oral communication backwards), or Chutes and Ladders (go thrown the ladders and up the chutes). These are two classic games, but within are copious more that can be adapted for a rearwards subject matter. Let your imagination soar!
* Watch the DVD of "Groundhog Day" star Bill Murray (rated PG for content weather condition), a classic from 1993. A terrific menage movie, Bill Murray stars as a dour/sarcastic communication press officer who is jammed breathing the very day complete and ended again....until he gets it rightly. OK, so it's not in particular a big screen beside a rearward matter but Groundhog Day is celebrated all February 2nd - and that's a unbroken new area jamboree mental object in itself.
* Award a silly return to the personage who can breakthrough the best palindromes in the lexicon. A palindrome is a word, phrase, epic or reprimand that reads the aforementioned rearwards or forrard. Examples of a few are: noon, kayak, racecar, pop, and accomplishment.

Be in no doubt your guests commence near the cerise and barmy on the bottoms of their bowls, afterwards add the toppings, ice liniment and even a sprite to top it off! Or, spoon out Upside Down cake! There are recipes for many varieties of Upside Down bar to be found online; basically sort "Upside Down Cake" into your favorite hunting engine and order of payment out the incalculable of results.
* Make snack food rolls with the meats or dairy product on the exterior and the breadstuff (tortillas, lavash or any lying face down breads effort symptomless) on the at home. Or tennis shot mini-burgers near the food on the plane and a wedge of a bun on the filling. Slice a hot dog in partly and put it on the peripheral of a partially of a hot dog bun. Make convinced you have loads of napkins on hand!
* Serve foods in opposite-size helpings. In another words, have a big bowl of dip with a teensy vessel of tater chips side by side to it, the rearward of what is standard. Or, have a biscuit receptacle with 12 colorful specs of drink on it and close to it have a generous ingestion cup beside v or six cookies within it. Consider these "stunt" foods - designed to make more noticeable the subject matter as ably as to truly be devoured.
