Baseball Bonanza Birthday Party

Paper goods and a windy day are a bad combination: Keep supplies from blowing away by using extra baseballs to hold down napkins and paper plates.

A game can leave kids hungry and thirsty, so be sure to be prepared with drinks and snacks. When packing for this park event, make sure to pack only non-breakable serving dishes. Bring double the amount of ice you think you need to keep drinks cool and refreshing. Opt for sport-friendly options like cut-up oranges, granola bars, water and sports drinks to keep players fueled before and during the game. Since it is a birthday party, cupcakes are in order. You can easily dress up vanilla-frosted cakes to look like baseballs: Slice red licorice, like Twizzlers, into slivers and arrange them into semi-circles to look like laces.
