How to Host a Tailgate Party at Home

Hosting a tailgate party at home is a fun way to support your team and gather your people when you can’t attend a game in person! With this guide, you’ll learn the steps I take to host gameday at home, as well as tips, tricks and a sample menu, too.

Ingredients

  • Paper plates or plastic/melamine reusable plates
  • Paper napkins
  • Utensils depending on the dishes you're serving
  • Plastic/compostable cups or unbreakable reusable cups/drink glasses
  • Serving platters and bowls
  • Drink pitcher

Instructions

  1. Set time/date. (This will coincide with whatever sporting event you’re watching.)
  2. Write and make your menu. Don’t forget appetizers, dessert and drinks!
  3. Make your cooking timeline. Be sure to build in a little extra time so that if something takes longer than expected, your food will still be ready in time.
  4. Make your grocery list, and shop. (If you don't want to leave home for this, you can order in both groceries and alcohol, too.)
  5. Decide how you’re going to set up and decorate, as well as what you're going to serve your food on. Purchase any other necessary supplies.
  6. Make any dishes you can in advance. Prep as many ingredients in advance as possible to give yourself a little wiggle room and leeway on the day of your tailgate party.
  7. Make it happen, and have fun!

Notes

  • Please know that the prep time and active time of your party planning and hosting will be entirely dependent upon a few things:
  • The most important thing to remember about hosting a tailgate party at home is to prepare in advance and that this is about having FUN, not about stressing yourself out.
  • How many dishes you're making, and how many can be made in advance
  • The number of guests you're hosting
  • How much additional decorating you decide to do for your gathering. Any amount is OK!
