Baseball Party Decorating & Food

Greet guests as they arrive by accenting the front door with a collection of bats and a basket full of balls. Create an eye-catching wreath by layering a floral wire form with baseball cards and Mini-Foam Baseballs. Throw a diamond cutout from this baseball Foil Swirl Becorating Kit into the center for further impact.

· Consider decorating the party area with the colors of the favorite baseball team for your child. Red, white , and blue go well on a generic theme for the baseball team.

· Decorate the party area with your child’s favorite teams and players’ baseball flags, pennants, and posters.

· Scatter baseball cards around a table at the party.

Don’t forget the requisite concession stand favorites of peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Bubble gum, sunflower seeds, and popcorn add to the standard mix. Then if you want, take the snacks up a notch with corn nuts, Baby Ruth candy bars, and red licorice.

No baseball birthday party would be complete without popular ballpark food like:

· Hotdogs

· Hamburgers

· French fries

· Peanuts

· Cracker Jacks

· Popcorn in a popcorn snack bag

· Nachos

· Cotton candy

· Big League Chew

· Ice cream sandwiches

Make sure guests know where to get their snacks by hanging this concessions banner across the table front. Attach cardstock letters to Baseball Invitations then string on twine intermixing them with Red Tissue Tassels. Offer standard birthday fares such as hot dogs, chips, and cupcakes topped with covered sandwich cookies iced to mimic baseballs.

If you make something that suits with your baseball party theme, Dessert will be a hit with guests. Here are a few feelings:

· Frost white icing cupcakes and use red or red decorator gel top to make cupcakes that look like baseballs.

· To make a baseball cake, use a round layer cake or a domed ball cake pan to build a ball-shaped cake.

· Decorate a white cake in your child’s team’s colors and use the decorator gel to make a team logo in the middle. Top with baseball candles over your coffee.

· Create a cake that emulates a baseball field. Fill with orange icing a broad diamond shape, and build four white icing bases and lines. Except the diamond fill the rest of the cake with green icing. Jazz up your cake with people from flags and the plastic army that look like players from baseball.

BASEBALL CAKE

Of this amazing fondant cake’s three layers looks even more amazing (and delicious) than the last one. A retro baseball jersey inspired the first sheet, with three buttons running straight down the middle. The second looks like a baseball glove laced in leather and the top looks like a baseball! It is top off with the favorite team baseball cap for the birthday boy and the base is painted to look like the field!

Baseball Party Favors

Send players home with a collection of fun favors such as a Baseball Plastic Favor Cup, Baseball Glasses, a Slap Bracelet, an Inflatable Bat, and a few Mini-Foam Baseballs. Use a large tip red marker to draw baseball stitching on White Favor Bags, then tag bags with Personalized Rectangular Stickers clipped on with clothespins. Fill bags with all the goodies and top with a bit of Grass Print Table Cover to keep everything inside.

Baseball Party Activities

Keep the team busy by taking them outside for pitching practice. This throw board is simply a sheet of breadboard paneling with shapes jig-sawed in the center. Letter stickers make quick work of labeling the holes. To protect nearby windows, provide little pitchers with Mini-Foam Baseballs instead of real ones.

Similar to corn hole (or bean bag toss), this game will provide a fun way for everyone at the party to stay active and have a blast at the same time! And they get to show off their pitching!
