Baseball Bonanza Birthday Party

If your child is a baseball lover, there’s no better way to celebrate his or her birthday than with a game of baseball, softball or T-ball with friends. Hosting the event at a local playing field is a great alternative to a party at home – especially for apartment dwellers and those looking for budget-friendly venues. Just be sure to check with your local municipality before scheduling your party and come to the field prepared on the day of the event.

Pitch a Party

Get guests excited about the game from the minute they receive the invitation by dressing the envelope with a red marker to resemble the stitching of a baseball. For the invitation itself, print your greeting onto white cardstock. Cut out circles around the text and add stitching with your marker. Be sure to be specific when describing the location of the field, and instruct everyone to “bring your own mitt.” To make game time easier you might decide to divide the kids into two teams beforehand and ask each team to wear a specific color.
