Having a Basketball Party will be loads of fun for all who attend. Make up fun invites with basketballs on them and they could say something like "You are invited to a Slam Dunk Party!" or "Hoop it Up at ..............Basketball Bash!" Be sure to mention in the invitations to have the kids come in their appropriate basketball attire and shoes if a game is planned. Decorating for this party can be fairly simple, because typically this party will be held at a gym, a park, schoolyard, cul-de-sac, or backyard and the focus will be on playing the game. Create a walkway with each guest's name on a star leading to the site of the party. Decorate inside with balloons, streamers, curling ribbon, cascading centerpieces, pennant cutouts, molded basketball candles and even a basketball piñata to match your theme. Balls, balls and more balls are the most critical element for you Basketball Party. Then you could have, Whistles, and Orange Cheer Phones (sports cones). Games and activities could involve: a dribble contest, shooting contest, and if outside, water balloon toss. Of course a game of Basketball itself would be the perfect activity. For snacks serve, popcorn, cheese balls, grapes and M&Ms and for bigger appetites: hot dogs, nachos, soft pretzels, pizza, chips, and lastly, for dessert a basketball cake and ice cream.
