Great
ideas for Baseball Party Slogans:
"Carson’s Home Run Happenin’!" "We’re gonna have a BALL
at Mike’s All-Star Party"
"Grand Slam Gathering for Mike's 40th!"
"Put me in coach...I'm ready to party at Jim's 18th Birthday Baseball Bash!"
Write the details of the party on real baseballs or on plastic or
wooden baseball bats. A permanent marker or paint pen will work.
Create your
own invitation. Write the party details on cardstock and attach to a box of Cracker Jacks.
You could also create your own baseball party invitation by making it into a
ticket for your birthday boy/girls' favorite team, or in the shape of a
baseball (with or without a picture of the birthday child in uniform!).
If you are planning any physical activities, be sure that the invitation
notes that guests should come dressed to participate.
Decorating is simple. Start with a red, royal blue or green
plastic table cover. Add placemats for each guest--Cut indoor/outdoor grass
into diamond shapes and using white tape, mark the bases. Add real props to
the table, and some sports confetti or curled curling ribbon.
Tie balloons to the ends of the table, or use balls or boxes of
Cracker Jacks as balloon weights.
Hang
sports pennants
down the back of each chair, around the buffet or food table, gift table,
etc.
Stand life-sized cutouts of baseball greats around the table.
Turn plastic baseball hats upside down, and use them as serving bowls for dry
snacks, such as chips, pretzels or Cracker Jacks.
A
Baseball Yard Sign is a must
for marking where the party is!
Line your walkway with
Shimmer Stars with each guest’s name on one. Secure the stars to the sidewalk, walkway or exterior
walls leading to the party, using duct tape or with masking tape. These can
also be used on the food table or as place cards.
Attach
Balloons
to the mailbox or a light post.
Set a
personalized Cheer Phone at each place setting as a place card.
For entertainment during the party, try a couple of the following:
Create fantastic Baseball Crafts! Try the
BASEBALL BAT PHOTO MAGNET CRAFT KIT
"Homerun Relay": Divide the guests into two equal teams. Create two starting
lines with masking tape, and place two bases about 15-20 yards away. Line the
teams up with the uniforms at the starting line. At the sound of the whistle,
the first player on each team quickly dresses up, runs the course, and then
returns the uniform to the next player. The first team to have all of its
players complete the course wins. A batting helmet, oversized baseball
jersey, men's sized cleats or cross-trainers, and a bat for each team will
lead to some homerun fun! Even kids aged 12 & 13 will get a kick out of this
game, as their competitive spirit kicks in!
Play the
Inflatable Baseball Game or the Baseball Bean Bag Game
Fill a huge plastic tub with sporting equipment that you have sitting around
at home. Balls, balls and more balls for starters, then add bats, catchers
mitts, a soccer goal, a portable basketball hoop, a football tee, a little
putting green and some putters, etc....you name it...they'll have a blast.
Hopefully you have an area where they can cut loose...a basement or garage.
Sports trivia quiz - let your son/daughter help you create this, or surprise
him/her with your knowledge (check out a couple of sports periodicals or ask
us for help!).
Give trading cards out as prizes/favors, and then let the kids trade for the
ones they need most.
If there will be adults and kids at the party, why not
play a few innings of grown-ups versus kids? Everyone is sure to enjoy the
game and it is a great way to let off some energy.
To get the fun started, place upside-down baseball hats filled with
conversation starters on each table. These "conversation starters" should be
designed to get people thinking. Type up a list of questions, cut the page
into small strips, and then add a set to each hat. Some questions might
include:
*Tell us about the first baseball game you ever went to.
*Who was your first baseball hero?
*Tell us an embarrassing moment about a softball or baseball game you played
or attended.
*Tell us about your biggest baseball moment – homerun hit, strike out, great
catch, you name it.
*Who was your favorite baseball team growing up?
*Who were your parent's favorite teams?
*If you could change one baseball rule, what would it be?
*Who is the greatest player of all time in your opinion?
You'll stir up a lively debate, and get the party off to a grand slam start!
Every baseball party needs a trivia game! List specific trivia questions on
paper, and then either make one copy for each guest, or have each table work
as a team to answer the questions. Design your questions so some are
difficult and some are easy. Some questions might include:
*Who pitched the most no hitters?
*Who scored the most home runs in one season?
*What team won the first World Series?
*Who were the last people inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
*Name 3 players who were kicked out of Baseball for illegal activities?
Any sports fanatic will be able to help you create a great trivia quiz, or
you can log on to Sports Illustrated.com for a wealth of baseball information,
or ask us for help!
The
Baseball Favor Packs contain both Official Size/Weight Baseballs, and
Baseball shaped Kick balls. Add a pitcher’s mound, bases and home plate, and
Plan time for some all-American fun as you divide up into teams and go head
to head in some friendly competition! Make sure that you divide up the teams
so that the talent is close to being evenly distributed. Using a
Metal
Whistle and Orange
Cheerphones (as sport cones) run some organized baseball
drills or create a few fun “Skill-Seeking” games. Get ready for some good
laughs!
Take party guests to a facility with batting cages or to a high school,
college or pro game if a baseball field isn’t available.
To feed a hungry group of guests serve "ball-game" food – hot dogs, nachos,
peanuts in the shell, chips, popcorn, snow cones and soft pretzels. Although
this will probably be enough, you might want to add some cut up fruit and
veggies. For the birthday cake...try making a baseball cake. Wilton™ has a
terrific ball pan, complete with instructions to make a baseball cake. If
your child is not a cake lover, make a huge rice crispy treat in a large
pizza pan. After it has set, frost the entire treat with white frosting. Add
red "stitching", and a birthday message. Whether you use the cake or the rice
crispy treat, place either on a board covered with well-washed indoor/outdoor
"turf" cut to resemble the infield. Your child will love it!
Baseball Hat Cake
• 1 baked 8-inch round cake
• 1 dome cake (baked in a 1 1/2-quart bowl or 6-inch sphere)
• 3 cups frosting (blue and red)
• Red shoestring licorice
• 1 red gumdrop
• Red M"M's
Cut the 8-inch cake so that it is shaped like a brim and arrange it next to the
bowl cake. Frost the hat blue and the brim red.
Add shoestring licorice to the crown with a gumdrop button. Outline
your child's initial in M"M's.

The Party Works
Instead of traditional goodie bags use
cheer phones with caps inst
can be imprint them with all the details of this special party, or you can order
them un-imprinted and you can write each child's name on the cheer phone with a
paint pen. Fill with goodies (some great
balls, and other sports
related favors), and then wrap with plastic or cellophane wrap. Stand
upright, and tie with bright curling ribbon to match the colors on your
table. They can do triple duty...place card on the table, a great decoration,
and an awesome favor!
Imprinted stadium cups would work much the same way. If you wanted to provide
all the kids with hats, you could purchase some plain baseball caps from a
craft or discount store. Write their names, the special date, or any other
message on the front of the cap with puffy paint.
