If you’re hooked on TV, you likely already have a subscription to a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu. This allows you to watch all the seasons of your favorite shows. If you want to give out party favors, Netflix gift cards would make a great thank you gift.
A Show to Binge

Speaking of shows, one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make before the big day is what show you want to binge. Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or 30 Rock are great shows to get you started. And, of course, you could always binge an HGTV show like Fixer Upper.
A Spot to Gather

Make sure your place is set up for optimal TV watching for a crowd. If you’re gathering in your living room, do you have enough spots for everyone to sit? People will be sitting for hours, so make sure each person has a comfortable place to sit. If you don’t have a big sofa, add fluffy floor pillows or poufs.
A Cute Invitation

Send out a stylish invite to your friends to let them know about the binge-a-thon. Your invite is a great spot to include the show you’ll be bingeing so everyone knows what they're getting in to before the party. If you want your friends to decide which show, offer a few options on the invite and let everyone vote.
Salty Snacks

Offer sweet snacks alongside salty ones. These little jars of caramel sauce are adorable and are delicious with sliced apples. Pass them out to your guests on little trays so everyone has their own dipping sauce. Add additional snacks such as pretzels to mix it up.
