Football season is the perfect excuse to get together with friends and family! By adding details to your tailgate party, you are sure to kickoff the season right. It’s all about showing your pride for your team in a creative way. Let others know that you are a true fan and that you know how to have fun. Become the tailgating pro with these great ideas!
* Forget the paper. Send an inflatable football to your guests with the party details written on it with a marker instead of the usual flat invite. Invitees have to inflate the football to get the who, where and when!
* Show your spirit! Have guests come in their favorite team’s jerseys or colors. It’ll add to the décor, fun and spirit! Adding a little face paint never hurts.
* Cool centerpieces. Use unique fun pieces like a football helmet and stuff it with flowers or even chips to play double duty!
* Themed Food. Get into the spirit by preparing a meal that your team would enjoy! If they are a team from the south, cook up some good ol’ southern food. No matter what, don’t forget the beer!
* Fun place settings. Transform each person’s table setting to tie into the theme/décor of the party. Pennants can be used as placemats, lanyards can be used as napkin rings, and jersey drink insulators keep the drinks cold and make fun party favors.
* Hot shots. Photo ops are a must. Create a life-sized cutout of your favorite player (or cheerleader!) so guests can snap a great picture and you can mark your location (the tailgate party or just your house or apartment!). This turns into a fun keepsake memory of the wonderful event!
