Let's be honest...
Years from now, you probably won't remember every final score.
But you'll remember laughing until midnight in the kitchen. Running late because someone couldn't decide what to wear. The coffee run that somehow took two hours. The late-night ice cream stop. The photos you still send in the group chat years later.
That's what game day girls' weekends are really about.
This football season, don't just make plans—start traditions.
Here's our ultimate bucket list.
Host a Friday Night Pajama Party
The weekend starts before kickoff.
Order takeout, light a candle, put on matching pajamas, and let everyone catch up before the excitement begins. No schedules. No rushing. Just your favorite people together again.
Create a Mascot Brunch
Every girls' weekend deserves a signature breakfast.
Think cinnamon rolls in your team colors, mascot pancakes, football-shaped waffles, or a DIY yogurt bar with toppings in your favorite team's colors.
Bonus points if everyone votes on the best creation.
Find "The Coffee Shop"
Skip the chain coffee.
Every girls' weekend, find one local coffee shop you've never been to before.
Take a picture, rate the coffee, and keep a running list of favorites throughout football season.
Pass Around One Disposable Camera
Everyone has a phone.
Nobody has these photos.
Pass one disposable camera around all weekend and let everyone snap a few pictures.
When they're developed months later, you'll get to relive the weekend all over again.
Build the Ultimate Snack Draft
Instead of asking everyone what to bring...
Have each person secretly bring one snack.
Line them up before kickoff.
Taste them all.
Vote for:
- Most Addictive
- Most Creative
- Unexpected Favorite
- Game Day MVP
The winner has to defend their title next weekend.
Take One Flash Photo Every Night
Forget perfect lighting.
Grab your phone, turn on the flash, and snap one candid picture before everyone goes to bed.
Those slightly blurry, unfiltered photos somehow become everyone's favorites.
Make Halftime More Fun Than the Commercials
Fill a jar with quick challenges before the weekend.
A few ideas:
- Best touchdown dance wins.
- Tell your funniest college story.
- Guess the final score.
- Draw your mascot in 60 seconds.
- Vote on the funniest moment of the weekend so far.
By the time the second half starts, you'll already have new memories to laugh about.
Start a Football Memory Jar
Leave a stack of note cards beside a mason jar.
Throughout the weekend, everyone writes down funny quotes, inside jokes, predictions, or favorite moments.
Open the jar after the last game of the season—or save it until next year.
You'll be amazed how many little moments you would've forgotten.
Create a One-Second Weekend Movie
Ask everyone to record just one second throughout the weekend.
Coffee brewing.
Brunch.
Walking to the stadium.
The first touchdown.
Dessert.
The goodbye hugs.
By the end of football season, you'll have a highlight reel that's better than any social media recap.
Leave with Next Year's Tradition
Before anyone heads home, ask one question:
"What should become our tradition next football season?"
Maybe it's matching slippers.
A new brunch recipe.
An annual road trip.
A custom trophy.
A handwritten letter to your future selves.
The best traditions aren't planned months in advance.
They grow a little every year.
The Best Part Isn't the Game
Football brings everyone together—but it's the little moments that keep us coming back.
The coffee that turned into hours of conversation.
The recipe everyone requested again.
The inside joke that somehow lasted all weekend.
The pajamas you never wanted to change out of.
The photo that perfectly captured the moment.
So this season, don't worry about making every weekend perfect.
Just make it memorable.
Because one day, these weekends will become the stories you tell... and the traditions you'll never want to miss.
