Sports Party Ideas For Invitations
Sports theme party invitations are fun and easy to make. Decide on which sport ball you want. Choose a color of paper that matches that ball. Fold the paper in half. From the folded side, cut the ball out of the paper. Leave the folded side uncut so it will open and close. Using markers, add all the markings to your "ball". Place all of your sport party info inside.
Make a homemade envelope and place the invite inside. Seal with a sports sticker.
Sports Party Ideas For Costumes
Costumes for this Sports theme party are pretty simple. Have the kids come dressed in his favorite sports gear. Or if you're having a specific sport, you could offer a piece of equipment from that sport for them to wear.
These sports party kits are great. They come with hats, beads, whistles, and all kinds of fun sport related toys.
Sports Party Ideas For Decorations And Centerpieces
Like I said earlier, you can do all the sports, or just one. Decorations for this sports birthday theme are really easy to find right here.
Here is a color guide for all the sports.
- All Sports...Green, Brown, And White
- Football...Brown and Cream
- Basketball...Orange and White
- Baseball...Red, White, and Blue
- Golf...White, Green, and Yellow
- Soccer...Black and White
- Bowling ...Red and Turquoise
- Karate...Red, Black, and Blue
Your sports party supplies will dictate what your color scheme. Pull two or three colors from the supplies and you are set.
Start with decorating the outside of your house or party place. Tie balloons onto the mailbox to alert everyone as to where the party is. Place sports yard signs in the yard. You can make your own with thick poster boards. Hot glue garden stakes on the back of the sign. Make the signs in the shape of balls or just draw or paint the balls onto the signs.
Sports Mylar Balloon - $ 6.99 Giant Sports Mylar balloon will decorate your child's sports party nicely. |

Here's a complete sports birthday party kit that is sure to please any sports fan!
For a great sport centerpiece idea, purchase a football planter or bowl. Place florist foam in the planter. Make different sized sport balls from Styrofoam balls and paint. Put balls on wooden skewers. Make them different lengths. Arrange the balls in the football bowl. You'll want to cover the foam with fake grass or gift basket shred.
Another easy centerpiece idea is to use a sports gift bag and balloons. Make a balloon bouquet with one mylar sports balloon and fill in the rest with latex balloons that match your colors. Tie the ribbon onto a balloon weight. Place the weight in the bag and fill the bag with gift tissue.
Place sports related gear around the party area. Set up basketball hoops or anything that goes with your chosen sport.
Wall murals are great for this sport party theme. Make it feel like a real sports arena. Think about what it would feel and look like and recreate that in a smaller scale. That's the secret of party decorating in a nutshell.
Streamers would be great for this party theme. Do coordinating colors back to back and twist. If you are doing a specific team, then use the team colors. Hang from corner to corner of the ceiling. You can also drape it along in the front of the party table. Just swag it for a pleasing effect. Hang a Personalized Banner over the party table or at the party entrance. It will cover a lot of space and everyone loves to see his or her name "in lights" so to speak.
Sports Party Ideas For Games
Let the boys let off some steam while they punch this fun punching bag. It adds to the sports party theme atmosphere and is a game as well.
Strike! The bowling game is perfect for indoor fun! Game includes 10 pins, and 1 ball.
Pinatas
Pinatas are great fun. Hang some up just for decorations or have the kids really play the game.
Basketball Hoop Contest
If the party is outside and you can use a real basketball hoop that's great, but you can also do this game indoors. Just use a small basketball hoop, a trash can, a bucket, or a laundry basket for little ones.
Ball Hunt
Before the party, hide small toy balls and baseball cards around the party area or outside. Give each kid a container to place his "treasure" in. Let the kids hunt for the toys.
Penalty Flag Toss
Purchase football penalty flags or make you own. Cut out squares of orange material and add a golf ball in the middle. Wrap a rubber band around the ball securing it inside the material. Mark a line for the boys to stand at and see who can throw his penalty flag the farthest.
