  • Buy a few bags of tried and true hangover snacks: Cool Ranch Doritos, Cheetos, and cheese popcorn.
  • Eggs are obligatory. Assemble two of these Brunch Casseroles the day before and your guests will be swooning.

Activities
The last thing to consider for your Day-After Party is activities. I’m betting that everyone is just going to enjoy relaxing and eating. But you can always rent some flicks. The rules are simple: nothing emotional, nothing foreign that requires bloodshot eyes to squint at subtitles, and keep it gender-neutral. Get 3 movies — a lighthearted comedy, like an old Chris Farley vehicle, a campy science-fiction film, and a teenage classic, like Weird Science or The Goonies. Don’t be surprised if some of your guests get so comfortable they start nodding off. Just listen to their soft snoring and change the channel to the Rose Parade. Maybe it isn’t so boring after all.
