Football season is here, and no doubt, you’re ready to don your favorite team gear and cheer on the LSU Tigers and the Saints (OK, or one of those other collegiate or NFL teams (insert smile here)). Whether you’re heading out for a tailgate or watching the game at home with family and friends, here are a few fab southern tailgate picks and party tips that will ensure your tailgate party is a Game Day win!
Dress for the occasion. Of course you’ll be wearing your team colors or favorite player’s jersey, but don’t forget to accessorize! Southerners know that little touch of sparkle makes a big difference and really pulls the look together. Even the pros are in their best for the game! Follow suit.
More is always better. Half the excitement of a tailgate is the food. If you’re questioning how much food or drink to get, go with the bigger number. In the south, food is it’s own event, so you can bet it won’t be wasted.
Include fun football eats. Football whoopie pies are a favorite fan fare, or for something a bit simpler, try these football Rice Krispies Treats!
Games. Cornhole is a popular choice in the south. Build your own to feature your team logo or colors! Follow this easy tutorial.
Don’t forget the party favors! Mini footballs in vases or scattered around the table add an extra element of fun. You could also place party pom poms in team colors for fans to cheer on the team and then take home with them!
