A sports party solves the hardest question in party planning, which is what to do with twelve nine-year-olds for two hours. You put them on a field. This invitation looks the part: collegiate lettering, little pennants in the corners, a basketball and a soccer ball at the bottom and a bold navy name across the middle that reads like the back of a jersey.
Put in the name and the age, the game day and the field, and it is ready for the team parents’ chat.
Keep the party simple and loud. Pick one sport or run three short “stations,” hand out cheap medals at the end, and serve food you can eat with one hand: hot dogs, orange slices, water bottles with names on them. The cake can be the only thing that sits still.
