More Tailgating Tips
Tailgating Is A Hoot!
Plan your party with the best-looking invitations on the web!
- Pack your vehicle with everything that will make you comfortable. Glam it up with luxury folding lounge chairs like those found at Brookstone's.
- Add panache to your corner of the parking lot with tables, linens, candles and flowers all in your team's colors. No rulebooks say you have to grill at a tailgate, but it's certainly what separates the casual grazer from the true have-charcoal-will-travel gourmet.
- Friends just raved about a grill they saw at a recent Notre Dame game. Check out Vulcan's combination cooler and gas grill at Eat Gourmet.
- Be bold. Decorate with banners, face paints, team tumblers, color-theme napkins, plastic football helmets (great for chips-n-dip or ice bucket), plastic sandwich baskets, milk-chocolate mini footballs and iced football shaped cookies that shout "We came to win!" I ordered my football cookies from Cookies By Design.
- If tailgating from your living room, you can show your support with fun party lights. At Plum Party fans will delight in a string of party football lights.
- Remember disposable plates and silverware, napkins, condiments, salt and pepper, bottle and can openers, plenty of ice, paper towels, blankets, trash bags and protection from the sun, rain, or snow. One last thing: don't forget your tickets!
- Keep everything quick, easy and social. Find foods that can be cooked in less than 15 minutes or prepared ahead of time, if necessary.
