Having company over to watch a football game is on

Having company over to watch a football game is one of my favorite events to host!
Here are my 10 Tips for Game Day Hosting:

1️⃣ 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵 Consider seating for everyone. Have multiple TV's so guests can choose to participate inside or outside.

2️⃣ 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘺 For an afternoon game, serve lunch. for an evening game, serve dinner. For a mid-afternoon game, serve either lunch or dinner during half-time. This tip helps make menu preparation a breeze!

3️⃣ 𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴 Have snacks out before the game starts and during the game so that guests can have something to eat before the meal is served.

4️⃣ 𝘍𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳 There's nothing like decor to set the mood! Having something on the mailbox or at the front door is a great way to welcome your guests.

5️⃣ 𝘓𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘶 My lunch menu usually consists of sandwiches, wraps, fruits, and chips.

6️⃣ 𝘋𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘶 I love having something on the grill so when my guests arrive they can smell that wonderful aroma! Preparing side dishes ahead of time will make your dinner easy peasy.

7️⃣ 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘚𝘦𝘵 𝘜𝘱 Be sure to have plenty of hand towels, toilet paper, and some mints next to a candle.

8️⃣ 𝘉𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 Have plenty of ice and drinks of choice.

9️⃣ 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘖𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘬 I love guests that ask to help! Give guests something to do: set out the food, clean up after a meal, or take out the trash. And make sure you return those favors!

🔟 𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘱 Don't wait until the next day to clean. There's nothing like waking up the next day and not dreading the clean-up.

My 2 favorite times of year? Wedding season and fo

My 2 favorite times of year? Wedding season and football season. I appreciate a well done, elegant evening but I really love tailgating! It's like hosting on-the-go. Here are my 10 tips for the perfect tailgate (borrowing from the old wedding saying):

1️⃣ 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘭𝘥: I chose to wear my old cowgirl boots to add a vintage Vera flair to my tailgating outfit.

2️⃣ 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘕𝘦𝘸: These new @betsypittarddesignsllc earrings are the perfect combination of my teams colors: red & black! They match perfectly with my @twofriends_stsimons dress.

3️⃣ 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥: Don't be afraid to ask your friends to bring along some of their lawn chairs or even a pack of sodas to help liven the party!

4️⃣ 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦: Between picking up my grand children and setting up my table, my dress is bound to get misplaced. That's why I sometimes wear blue shorts under my dress.

5️⃣ 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘴: Having a quick bite before kickoff is a must for any tailgate! I like to bring meatballs with toothpicks - they're classic crowd pleasers.

6️⃣ 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦: Handheld entrees like pimento cheese sandwiches or a hot ham bites make eating a good meal at the game easy.

7️⃣ 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵: After you eat something savory, you just need something sweet! In honor of my team, the Georgia Bulldogs, I love making brandied peach poundcake.

8️⃣ 𝘠𝘦𝘵𝘪 𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳: Keeping drinks cold has never been easier than with my @yeti cooler from @augusta_ace_hardware.

9️⃣ @subzeroandwolf 𝘛𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘳: These keep my water cold even in the blistering heat of the parking lot!

🔟 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 & 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺: After preparing this lovely tailgate, you need someone to share all of this with! Gathering my friends and family around the table is the best way to kick off any game.

Those are my tailgating tips! What are yours? Comment below👇
