Party Panache, Let’s Talk Football!
Okay, so now that football season is officially underway,
let’s talk about some ways to make the season memorable
with unique party ideas and yummy noshes!
Make a flower arrangement in your team’s colors…
I made this arrangement for the Alabama {red & white} vs Ole Miss {red & blue} game last year and these flowers combined the colors of both teams in one arrangement
Instead of the usual chips,
Serve onion rings and tater tots as dippers with easy
Straight from the freezer, you can fry or bake them
People will swoon with delight!
See more unique dippers on the Beer Cheese Fondue post here
Set up a Popcorn Bar
Let fans create their own combo to enjoy during the game
Serve a buffet of seasonings and additions
Provide individual large cups or popcorn sleeves here and here
Here are some cute ones from Amazon here and here
Or
Get a team pride crock pot to keep your dip warm
Add candy to Tailgate Trash in your team’s colors
You can get individual colored candies at Party City
Decorate your dip with your team’s letters or logo
Shake things up with unusual serving pieces
Serve crudities in a strawberry pot with a bowl for the dip on top. Put a ziplock bag full of ice in the pot which will keep the veggies & dip cold and keep the veggies from slipping down into the pot through the openings
How about some colored chips spilling from a cornucopia for Fall dips and snacking?
Serve your chips and dip in a Team Pride football helmet
Amp up your nacho game and serve an unexpected combo

Wrap it in Bacon!
Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Glaze
Bacon Wrapped Sweet Chili Shrimp
Wow your friends with a BLT BBQ Bloody Mary,
It’s a drink and a snack all in one!
Don’t forget something sweet!
