Calling all college basketball lovers! The final game is the perfect excuse to bring the gang back together and have a blast watching who wins the tournament and bracket pool. Let the madness begin!<\/p>\n

1. All About Those Brackets<\/h3>\n

Preparing for your March Madness party starts before the beginning of the tournament! Get a group together to fill out March Madness brackets. We highly recommend doing them on either the CBS Sports App or ESPN Tournament Challenge App. Whether you\u2019re playing for money or glory (or both), filling out brackets with family and\/or friends is a must! Also, make sure you let all participants know that there will be a party at the end. Basically, think of starting brackets early is the invitation for your March Madness party!<\/p>\n

2. What\u2019s On The Menu?<\/h3>\n

Truly, what\u2019s a March Madness party without the munchies? From dips to chips to finger foods, your menu needs to be figured out ASAP. Are you going to do pizza? Subs? Only appetizers? Get everything organized in advance because April 3rd (yes, March Madness ends in April) will be here before you know it. Plus, it\u2019s nice to give guests an advance in case they need to bring anything. Oh, and don\u2019t forget the drinks! Need some food inspiration? We have your back:<\/p>\n
