Throw a Backyard Tailgate Party

Peyton Lambton teams up with Wayfair to show you how to throw a tailgate party from your own backyard. Stressed to host football fans? No need to blitz, kick off the game with these fun, easy, and family-friendly party ideas.

Have plenty of seating for everyone. Water-resistant throw blankets in your team’s colors will keep all the fans warm and make extra room for anyone who wants to sit on the ground.

Setup a buffet outside. A portable grill like this football-inspired option makes it easy to go where the party is. Use a wagon to bring food back and forth, to save yourself multiple trips.

Kick a field goal with frosting—make your favorite batch of brownies and pipe laces with white icing. Pop-up a movie screen to show the game outside.

Talk about a spread! You won’t fumble the food with laid-back no-bake appetizers and fuss-free grill go-tos. Add accouterments and disposable serve ware so guests can go back for seconds or thirds!

A game of corn hole encourages friends to stretch their legs during time-outs. As long as drinks are cold, food is plentiful, and the game is on, we won’t have any penalties—but I grabbed these napkins just in case.

Alright y’all, it’s time for the coin toss, and as the captain of this party, I better get back to my friends. Huddle up with your friends and start planning a backyard tailgate of your own!
