Golf Birthday Party Ideas

May 16, 2012 By: Linettecomment

Summer is the perfect time for a golf birthday party, so I thought it would be perfect timing to put together some golf birthday party ideas. You have to start with the supplies. Celebrate Express has some really cool golf party supplies. Check them out.

You can find them to order here:
Golf Deluxe Party Pack for 8

Here is a cute idea for a golf cake. It uses iridescent fondant to cover the cake and the golf ball on top can be made using the Wilton Sports Ball Pan Set.

Or if you want to keep things simpler you can use this Golf Cake Topper and make a classic sheet cake.

A couple other ideas for your golf theme party:

Give the guests personalized golf balls or golf tees for party favors
Plant small pots with green grass and stick a small golf flag in the center for table decorations
Challenge your friends to a little golf in the pool.
Make some golf flag decorations.
Serve meatball subs, and call them golf ball sandwiches
Tee Time Cupcakes

It doesn’t even have to be a birthday party! Golf would make the perfect theme for a summer bachelor party, retirement party, or birthday, and it might even work as a last minute theme for your Father’s Day celebration. If you have ideas to share for a golf party, please feel free to discuss them in the comment section.

Party Ideas For A 10 Year Old Boy

May 20, 2011 By: Linettecomment

I was recently working on planning a birthday party for a ten year old boy, in other words, my son. Well, a soon to be ten year old boy.We considered several themes and ideas for his birthday party.

I tried to talk him into a creepy crawly bug party, with dirt cake, and gummy worms. He’s a huge Pokemon fan, so I thought maybe he might be into a Pokemon party, but he said no to both. I think he’s almost outgrowing the theme party ideas.

He did consider a LEGO party, or a skateboarding party, but vetoed them in the end and settled in on a guitar hero party or rock star party.

Some other great ideas for a boys 10 year old birthday party include:

A bowling party
Skating party
Backyard water party~ The boys will have a blast throwing water balloons at each other, running through sprinklers, and shooting water guns.
A movie party~ whatever their favorite movie is right now. My son loves anything action adventure.
Sports party~ If the birthday boy is into any kind of sports, or a sports team, center the theme of his party around that sport.
Video game party~ There are some great video game party themes out there, including
Mario Kart Wii and Ratchet and Clank
An Angry Birds party, or another favorite app could make a fun birthday party theme.

Summer Birthday Party Ideas for Adults

May 14, 2011 By: Linettecomment

Adults like to have fun birthday parties too! Just because you’re not a little kid any more doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun. Summer birthdays are the funnest! There so many things you can do during the summer to have a birthday party everyone will love. Here are a few of my favorites.

Plan a pool party~ You don’t have to be a kid to have fun in the swimming pool with your friends. Get a game of water volleyball, or water basketball going and everyone will have a blast.
Plan a beach party or luau~ Plan your party at the local beach, complete with sand volleyball, and a cookout. Give it a luau theme and hand out leis to guests as they arrive.
Plan a golf party~ If the birthday man or woman enjoys golf or put put add it to your party theme. You can even take the party on location and play a game of putt putt, or head to the golf course for entertainment.
Plan an ice cream party~ Complete with a make your own sundae bar. Yum!
A backyard bbq or cookout with a few friends can make for a casual summer birthday idea.
Head out to the local park for your birthday where friends can play games like volleyball, horseshoes, or Frisbee. Just bring the grill along, or have everyone bring their favorite dish.

I hope one of these ideas inspires you when you’re planning your summer adult birthday party! Have fun!
