Football season is on, and you know what that means — it's tailgate time! The trick to a great tailgate? Keep it simple! It's all about friends, football, good beverages, and good times. It's about coming together and revving each other up for the big game.
Build excitement for the big game by setting the stage with decorations, outfits and accessories in your team's colors, and a food table that's full of football spirit (and good food). The ingredients are simple, but the result is one epic tailgate.
Set the Stage by Decorating Your Trunk
Make sure everyone's in the mood for football with trunk decorations. Hang a pennant banner, or two, and some football-themed football decorations. Toss in a few foam footballs, and Bam! — just like that, you have the perfect backdrop to your tailgate party.
Rev Up Your Revelers With a Football Fan Makeover
Turn each guest into a die-hard fan with a quick makeover. All you need is a few accessories and face paint in your team's colors. Bead necklaces, feather boas, skirts, hats, and megaphones are all great accessory options. With everyone decked out in team colors, noisemakers in hand, your party will be a powerful fan force.
Deck Out Your Food Table in Football Decorations
Go the extra yard by giving your food table a little football spirit. Set the foundation with a football-themed table cover, then complete the look with football plates, napkins, and trays, as well as cups and cutlery in your team's colors.
Keep Energy Levels High With Tailgate Party Food
First and foremost, make sure there are plenty of snacks and drinks. Provide a variety of chips, dips, and other ready-to-eat foods, and a variety of beverages, including alcoholic (especially beer!) and non-alcoholic (especially water!). It's also traditional at a tailgate to grill, which is great, because you'll need some more substantial fan fuel than just snacks. There's no need to reinvent the wheel. Stick with the classics: hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, or whatever the fans demand.
