Today, we're going to do something a little different. With football season just around the corner, we thought we'd share a video that I found on HGTV featuring 10 tips for throwing a great tailgate party!
1. Be literal. If you or your friend has a truck, use a tailgate as the serving station.
2. For lighting, use paper lanterns in team colors. It's easiest to hang them with zip ties. They are better than balloons, and they're reusable!
3. Paint a plain cooler with your team colors. For best results, be sure to use spray paint designed for plastic.
4. Use a silverware caddy. Use an easy-to-transport toolbox caddy for silverware and sauces.
5. Make chip bag tacos. You want to have a simple menu, and walking tacos are delicious and easy to handle.
6. Or, try chili and cornbread mason jars. These are a great alternative to the chip bag tacos!
7. Don't forget the drinks! Bourbon-spiked hot chocolate is perfect for a cool fall day. Make sure you bring along unbreakable mugs.
8. Serve a unique dessert. We recommend pennant cookies. Simply cut cookie bars into pennants.
9. Create a hand washing station. Bring paper towels, soap, and water.
10. Pre-game activities. Create a DIY ball toss using a drop cloth.
Even using just a few of these will make for a memorable tailgate party! We hope you found some of these ideas helpful. As always, if you have any questions about real estate, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
