Crossed rackets, a lime-green ball and thin white court lines on deep green paper: this card belongs to the friend who books the court every Saturday. The message sits on a cream scorecard panel, and the headline invites everyone to meet on the court, which is exactly the plan.
The sample shows a thirty-fifth birthday, but tennis players come in every age, and the design is just as good for a club social or a doubles tournament.
Reserve two courts for a round-robin, hand out wristbands in two colors to make the teams, and keep a chalkboard scoreboard by the net. Afterward, a long table under the clubhouse awning with sandwiches, lemonade and a cake decorated like a court. A can of balls with a tag makes a favor nobody throws away.
