Can't make it to a local bar or attend the live game? No problem! There are countless ideas for creative tailgating to enjoy from the comfort of your own home. From chili, hamburgers and hot dogs, to chips and dip, food is definitely important. But what counts are the intimate details that really make the party pop.
DECORATIVE DETAILS. Make your home Seahawk-worthy with decorative, team-colored details. Ben Franklin Crafts has an enormous display of Hawk goods, from streamers and napkins to banners and tablecloths.-áBe sure to ask your guests to wear team colors!
For a more personal expression of Seahawk pride, have one of the local nail artists paint your nails with Seahawk imagery. Dying your hair is another way to show team spirit! Instant, washable hair dye and spray is available at most drugstores, and is a super fun activity to do before the game.
SIGNATURE DRINKS. From Jell-O shots to martinis, make it a cheerful party with signature
drinks'and naming them can be even more fun. Pinterest, a popular online site, shows an array of signature drink recipes, such as the Beast Mode Vodka and 12th Man Margarita. Get even more inventive, and have a make-the-most-creative-drink competition. Purchase festive straws and Hawk-inspired drink umbrellas, or use limes and food coloring for embellishments.
INGENIOUS DESSERTS. Make a sweet statement by baking delicious Seahawk-inspired desserts. Use Seahawk blue and green food coloring, icing and sprinkles to decorate traditional Rice Crispy Treats, puddings and cupcakes. Or even better, provide your guests with colorful, team-colored toppings to decorate their own creation!
