Most kids love sports, whether it’s football, soccer, baseball, basketball or a combination. Kids grow up loving to compete, to play and to have fun, regardless of whether they are team captain or a great fan. They love the sport. If you have a child who loves sports and are planning a kid’s birthday party, you might want to consider having a sports theme for their birthday celebration. This is especially effective if most of the children birthday party guests are teammates or if you are having a relatively small child birthday party.

Additionally, our kids sports birthday party invitations can include a picture or photo of your lil sports star on the sports birthday invitation card. Your child’s friends will simply love the photo sports birthday invitations, which can also be kept as a memento of the day and time. Be sure and order the matching child birthday thank you cards when you order the birthday invitations. If you plan on the guests playing a game of basketball, touch football, etc. during the party, be sure and include this in the personalized sports birthday party invitations so they can dress appropriately.

Here are some helpful hints and suggestions for having a Children’s Sports Birthday Party Theme:  

Sports Party Entrance: As the birthday party guests enter the party areas, have a sign welcoming everyone to "Play the Game". For example: for basketball you can “Hoop it Up!”; for soccer "Joey is 12. What a Kick!"; and so on. Balloon bouquets are a wonderful, and inexpensive, way to decorate this area. As people move from the entrance to the dining area, have a fabulous balloon arch mixed with Mylar sports balloons. You can continue these arches throughout the hallway.

Birthday Sports Party Area: Have a sign-in board. You might consider using a drawing of the birthday child, so guests can write their congratulations. To top it off, you can have happy birthday balloons tied to the easel. Fill the entire room with fabulous birthday sports balloon centerpieces. You can have these rise out of a centerpiece personalized for the birthday child, or select a sports centerpiece. Continue the sports theme throughout the room using some of these great decorations:
