Baseball Bonanza Birthday Party

Take the kids out to the ballpark for a fun birthday get-together.

By Laura Fenton

Miniature team pennants are a fun take-home treat for party guests, especially when paired with bubble gum and baseball cards.

Make Party Favors a Home Run

Keep favors simple and on-theme: Miniature team pennants, a few baseball cards and a packet of classic chewing gum make an easy and affordable goody bag. To package the treats, put the cards and sweets into a clear bag and affix the pennant to the top with a band of colored masking tape. Alternately, peanuts and Cracker Jack would also be pitch-perfect treats for this ballgame birthday.

Before everyone leaves, ask all of your child’s friends to sign a baseball at the party. It will be a memento that will be cherished today – and 20 years from now.
