pickleball party guide
pickleball is, and continues to be, all the rage these days. sure the fitness element is huge, but this new kid on the sports block is a social affair, transcending generations and bringing people together. we’ve had a fun time playing as a family (in the driveway) and even packed our paddles/balls for a trip to florida. so it was no surprise when on a HomeGoods stroll, after seeing pickleball paper napkins, my daughter says — “I’m going to have a pickleball party”. say no more kiddo, I’m on it. let’s have a pickleball party!!
this list includes: paper goods, decor, fun things
let’s break it down
paper goods
kraft paper plates - keep it classic with these compostable plates. 7in for the win!
green paper straws - add a little pop of color to your beverage station. also love that these can be trimmed for juice boxes (aka, JBs) or shorter glassware.
gingham napkins - pickleball giving you country club vibes, #same. double down with adding the gingham pattern to the mix. using this check pattern for the napkins, is just enough to keep it classy, without making it grandma’s house.
decor
pickleball bunting - this brings the theme to life and can be used for general decor or a photobooth backdrop. pro tip: have extras? use it to layer under food displays.
tinsel backdrop - add some glimmer with this green backdrop. pro tip #1: layer the bunting over the tinsel backdrop for additional texture. pro tip #2, save and resuse your tinsel for future events by taping then wrapping around a paper towel cardboard roll.
DIY cake topper - fear not, this is DIY light. grab a party candle, put it into a pickleball and stick atop your cake or cupcake. pro tip: warm the candle to melt wax and secure candle in the ball.
Fun things
single sweatband set - for the guest of honor!
sweatband party pack - this sweatband set caught my eye, maybe it’s the green and white stripes :) if you are planning to set the table, you can put these at the placesettings, alternatively, pour these into a clear container/vase for a fun visual and let the peeps self serve.
this was a fun one — tag us in your party pics (@heydaypartyco). we can’t wait to see your magic!
