As the baseball season opens, we thought today would be a great day to share my son’s Vintage Baseball Party with you!

 The night before was “prep for the party”. My husband was so fabulous and cut all the astro turf for me and even made a baseball field out of duck tape on the dessert table. He is never shocked by what I ask him to do for me for a party! He’s such a good sport! 

Party Day:

It was cold and damp outside this Saturday afternoon. But inside it was all a hustle and a bustle, as we finished the final touches to the Baseball party my son had requested back in July. {Yes, he has caught on how this party stuff works}! Just before friends had started to arrive we finished getting dressed in the baseball shirts I had made with all our favorite numbers on the back, but my daughter wanted to wear a baseball dress. The party came together pretty seamlessly. I asked my sister-in-law if I could borrow the kids baseball gear, asked my husband for all of the baseballs he had in storage and borrowed some other baseball items from a friend of ours. Before we knew it, we had all the makings of a baseball party! All that was left to do was purchase some fun to eat goodies. We served the traditional hot dogs with all the condiments, cotton candy {which I placed in single serve bags with baseball tags}, Cracker Jacks, mini bottles of Coke and Dr. Pepper, candy waxed bottles, licorice, Double Bubble, cupcakes, baseball field cake and baseball themed cookies, popcorn {made in a Vintage Popcorn maker}, nachos with  jalapenos, fruit and a vegetable tray, and of course to top it all off ~ ice cream sundaes served in mini baseball helmets. We played noodle balloon baseball, pin the ball on the bat and “perfect pitch” where the kids had to throw a baseball sized balloon through a decorated hula-hoop! The kids had fun and all left with a fun party favor box filled with baseball cards, baseball shaped whistles, bubble gum and a baseball ring. We hope you enjoy the party as much as we did!!
