As football season kicks off, there's no better way to show your team spirit than with a vibrant tailgate party. Whether you're cheering for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish like we are or another favorite team, adding a touch of creativity can elevate your pre-game festivities to the next level. One easy and hands-free way to do this? Balloon decorating!

Balloons are not just for birthdays anymore. They're a versatile and festive addition to any outdoor gathering, especially when done right.

But decorating is just one part of throwing a memorable tailgate. Here are a few more tips to ensure your event is a touchdown:

1.     Plan Ahead: Prep as much as you can in advance – from food to decorations. This reduces stress on game day and allows you to focus on enjoying the festivities.

2.     Potluck Style: Save time and money by hosting a potluck where guests bring their favorite dishes. This not only diversifies your menu but also lightens your cooking load.  And if you’re going to invite me – having multiple dips on hand is a must!  Here is one of my favorite EASY to make dips

3.     DIY Games: Create your own tailgate games like cornhole or ladder toss using materials you already have. It's a great way to keep guests entertained between burgers and touchdowns. Not into watching the game, but want to have fun – Consider a euchre tournament during the big game.

4.     Reusable Decor: Invest in reusable decorations like banners and tablecloths in your team's colors. They'll last all season and save you money in the long run.

5.     Stay Hydrated: Don't forget to pack plenty of water and non-alcoholic beverages. Hydration is key, especially during those hot early-season games.
