Tailgate Season! How to Plan an Epic Tailgate Party at Home



Are you ready to take your game day experience to the next level? Hosting a tailgate party at home with friends is the perfect way to celebrate your favorite sports team without the hassle of crowded parking lots and long lines. Get ready to score big with these 10 tips that will help you plan an unforgettable tailgate party right in your own backyard.

  1. Create the Ultimate Game Day Atmosphere: Transform your backyard into a game day haven with team banners, flags, and themed decorations. Don't forget to set up a designated area for the ultimate viewing experience. Remember: Lemon Lane comes with a big screen outdoor tv!

  2. Get Your Grill On: Fire up the grill and serve classic tailgate favorites like burgers, brats, hot dogs, and grilled chicken. Offer a variety of toppings and condiments to please every palate.

  3. Score with Finger-Lickin' Snacks: No tailgate party is complete without a spread of delicious snacks. From buffalo chicken dip to loaded nachos, make sure to have plenty of finger foods that will keep your guests cheering for more.

  4. Quench Your Thirst: Keep the drinks flowing with a well-stocked beverage station. Offer a variety of refreshing options, including beer, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. And here's where Lemon Lane Mobile Bar comes in! Our mobile bar brings the party to you, serving craft cocktails, your favorite local beer, and your very own cheerleaders.

  5. Game-Time Entertainment: Set up outdoor games like cornhole, ladder toss, or even a friendly football game to keep the energy high during halftime. It's all about keeping the competitive spirit alive!

  6. Team Spirit Dress Code: Encourage your guests to wear their team colors and jerseys to show off their team spirit. Award prizes for the best-dressed fan or the most outrageous game day outfit.

  7. Pre-Game Playlist: Create a tailgate playlist that includes your team's fight songs, classic anthems, and crowd-pleasing hits. Music sets the mood and keeps the energy up throughout the party.

  8. Tackle Dessert: End the party on a sweet note with team-themed desserts or a DIY ice cream sundae bar. Nothing beats a delicious treat to celebrate a victory (or to drown sorrows after a defeat). Well, except whiskey. That helps too.

  9. Stay Connected: Encourage your guests to capture and share memorable moments by setting up a dedicated photo booth area. Provide props and hashtags to make it easy for everyone to share their tailgate experiences on social media.

  10. Plan for Safety: As the party host, it's important to prioritize safety. Make sure to have designated drivers, provide plenty of water, and keep a first aid kit on hand.

With these 10 tips, you're well on your way to hosting an epic tailgate party at home. Remember, Lemon Lane Mobile Bar is the MVP of your party, bringing the bar, the mixology skills, and even a big screen TV right to your backyard. So, gather your friends, unleash your team spirit, and get ready to cheer your way to a tailgate party for the books!
