Tailgate Party Drink Ideas
Party drinks for a Tailgate Party Theme should reflect the light, fun spirit of this time-honored party, which generally takes place before or after a sporting event. Forget about the wine spritzers and the Shirley Temples, and probably even the sparkling champagne, for this casual, sporty festivity; opt instead for beer of various brands served straight from the can, boxed wine and perhaps harder liquor, like gin, whiskey, vodka and rum. Younger guests or tea totalers (really, though, just how many ‘tea totalers’ could one expect at a tailgate party?!) might prefer root beer, hard lemonade, sports drinks or bottled water. All drinks should be served in sealed, weather resistant containers, as most tailgate parties take place outdoors.
Tailgate Gift Ideas
Gifts for a Tailgate party should feature Tailgate Favors that include fun and sturdy items best suited for an outdoor, sports-oriented festivity. As most tailgate parties celebrate a specific team, gift givers may want to exchange merchandise that represents that team. These could include T-shirts, bumper stickers, decals, jerseys, hats, etc., bearing that team’s name and logo; or perhaps even a fun stuffed animal that embodies that team’s signature mascot. Other possible gifts could be used at the party, and could include soft sports balls to throw around and sports trivia games that can keep tailgaters entertained. The host also might treat tailgating guests to an edible gift, such as a celebratory cake (one perhaps emblazoned with the logo of the team being celebrated at the party) or a box of chocolates that could be passed around among attending tailgaters.
Tailgate Party Theme
Keep the party theme flowing throughout each aspect of
the event. First, the party invitations set the theme and tone of
the occasion. Some guests will bring gifts based on the Tailgate
party theme. Use Tailgate
decorations, centerpieces,
tablecovers, Thank you notes, invitations, party supplies, hats, blowouts, confetti,
paper plates, cups, napkins etc. Complete the Tailgate party theme
with Tailgate party favors.
