Tailgate Football Party Details: This is what Sara shared about the party- “Are you ready for some Football? It’s just about that time of year! Kick off football season with a tailgate party, fun at any age! This year Andrew chose to have a football party for his 11th Birthday. He invited friends to all wear their favorite team (can you tell we are in Chicago?!) and the boys played a little Madden in the Game truck and some nerf football in the front yard. Here are a couple of my tips for throwing together a football party and adding that extra bit of attention to detail:
- Astroturf. Inexpensive at home improvement stores. Use it to cover your table or your tailgate.
- Printables. Pennant flags go a long way in a tailgate set up. Go Team!
- Engineer Prints. Large chalkboard Backdrops and menu boards are very inexpensive when you print them as engineer prints.
- Tissue paper. Easy to make poms poms on sticks and use as garland. Cheer on your team! We used basic football brown and turf green, but you can personalize the colors of your party to your favorite team too.
- Wrapped food. Make it easy to grab and go with wrapped and labeled hot dogs and subs. Plastic cups with lids make great popcorn and other sideline snack containers. Powerade and Root Beer Bottles were the tailgate drinks of choice. The porch had a drink station and desserts too.” Sports, sports, and more sports!
