On Thursday June 4th, my youngest son will turn 11. I have been looking at photos of birthdays past and thought I would share his 9th birthday party. We had a mini golf party at home.
I made the custom banner by cutting triangles with pinking shears and attaching all of them with double seam binding. I made a carnation golf ball topiary for the centerpiece and had a Golfer Check-in table. When the guests arrived, they got a blue golf hat and signed a scrapbook page. They also had to guess how many tees were in the jar.
I hired Putt-2-Go to set up a 5 hole course in my backyard. They bring the course, clubs and even engraved trophies! The guests went around 3 times plus 3 holes (to equal 18 holes). I had trophies for first and second place. For the highest score (last place) I gave the "winner" a plastic golf set so they could practice. All of the guests received golf medals.
I made the cupcakes and flags for the pins out of scrapbook paper. I attached the flags to skewers and the cupcakes sat on raw sugar to look like a sand trap. I wish I could have found mini chocolate golf balls to put on the top of the cupcakes.
I can't wait to show you what I have been working on for his party next Saturday!

What a cute party, and the putt-putt idea is great! I wish we had a company like that in our area. There is not even a putt-putt course around here, so that is a treat to the kids when we vacation. I enjoyed seeing all the themes you have featured recently. Makes me want to host another party!
ReplyDeleteThat looked like such a fun party, Donna! I love the idea of renting the putt-putt golf course! Your little touches one all the rest of the party are wonderful--love it that you gave each guest a golf hat!
ReplyDeleteYou're ideas are just the best!!

Donna, I am doing an adult golf-themed party and had the idea of a golf ball inspired centerpiece. Is your carnation topiary real carnations, silk, tissue??
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you have planned next!
ReplyDeletePerfect! I didn't even know you could rent a putt-putt course!
