Read 4 tips on how to have the best possible backyard tailgate party in 2020
​

If this was any normal Fall, families everywhere are going to gather around for football season. 2020 is a little different, but that doesn't mean that you can’t have all your usual traditions with Fall fun for friends and families! There may not be as intense a football season this year, but you can still enjoy the change of the leaves and the cooling temperatures!

Parties in the Fall are part of the season, and one of the most important traditions is a backyard tailgate party! You could go for generic frozen pizzas and beer, but it really depends what you want for your event. So, with that in mind, we’ve got four tips for the best possible backyard tailgate party you could have this year!

Have Your Party Outside

• Start up a projector in the backyard and have a movie or a game screened on the side of the house. You can lay out picnic blankets and huge beanbags and just snuggle down and relax in front of something fun to watch. Being outside in the crisp air while watching a game or show is part of the experience, and if you decide to light a fire for everyone to sit beside and keep warm, observe safety while you have one!
  
• Okay, so you can have those generic pizzas and beers, but why do you want to be generic? Choose tailgate party catering instead. You can still have people bring along their favorite homemade chilli, but catering your backyard party takes off the stress from your shoulders. You can still bring out a tray of ingredients to make s’mores, too! Have fun with your friends and have a competition for who brings the tastiest dessert!
  
• Games are so much fun during outdoor parties, and you can add some fun to the event you’re hosting with outdoor activities. You can warm everyone up with a “sports day” theme if the football season isn't as active as usual. Get lawn darts, cornhole and other outdoor relay races and bowling set up. If you want to go one better and set up giant chess on the lawn!
  
• Beer is the drink of choice for a tailgate party, but you can get creative with the drinks that you serve and mix it up a little. Serve soft drinks in jugs and get the crockpots going with hot chocolate inside the house. People can ladle themselves a mug of hot chocolate as they please and have some fun with it, too. 
  

No matter what you do with your backyard tailgate party, make it as fun as possible for your guests. Always observe the current rules regarding the pandemic in your neighborhood, and you will ensure that everyone is safe and healthy. Provide your guests with masks and hand sanitizer to go one better and make sure that everyone is comfortable and happy. Your backyard tailgate party is going to be one of the best things that you plan this year, and it won’t take too long to get sorted if you start now!
