For the little baseball fans in your life - be prepared for some the biggest sporting events of the season and invite all the athletes (and spectators) to a tailgate party. Whether you’re watching the World Series or Little League, a tailgate theme is sure to be a hit! Going… going… gone!!

(Hint: This tailgate theme is perfect for your child’s end of sport season party!)

Menu & Drinks Appetizers and finger foods are the name of this game. Create a spread for your guests by having an appetizer station, a grill going, and a table stocked with desserts. Apps can be anything from buffalo chicken dip, to veggies and ranch. Everyone needs a little something to snack on during the warm up! For the main event, keep your entree kid friendly by grilling up hamburgers and hot dogs, or have mini mac and cheese bites and wings/nuggets ready for noshing. Don’t forget about your sweet fans, and be prepared by making football chocolate covered strawberries, game day brownies, or baseball/basketball cupcakes.

Quench the thirst of your guests, and set up a gatorade “bar” and a “water break” cooler for the kiddos. For the older crowd, hire a bartender to craft team themed drinks and provide plenty of gameday beer!

Decorations Now's the time to show off some team spirit! Everything should be decked out in team colors. From the tablecloths to the color of the cups and balloons to homemade posters with team names, there's never enough of those rival colors. Whatever you choose, make sure the decor screams, go team!

Entertainment and Extras Don’t throw any old tailgate, add some spice to your party by hiring a face painter to go wild with team colors. Consider hiring a DJ who can run games and contests for the guests who may not be into the game. Set out lawn games, like cornhole, ring toss and jumbo jenga, to keep the kids running along. Hire a balloon twister for color coordinated, personalized party favors. Give kids and parents a memory to last a lifetime by hiring a photo booth and setting out sport themed props!
