Sporty Celebration  Back to Events
 

Maybe your spouse is a diehard sports fan who spends every football-season weekend at the stadium or cheering in front of the TV. Or your best friend enjoys spending free time on the volleyball court. Either way, a sports-theme birthday party is the way to go. 

Throw a party focused on a specific sport, or make the party inclusive of all sports if the guest of honor likes several athletic activities. Either way, get in the game with these winning sports party pointers. Plan a variety of games to keep guests active and enhance the celebration with sporty décor

Or gather the group for a tailgate birthday combo and celebrate both! Score points with party-day fare from your neighborhood Publix. The Publix Bakery offers a wide variety of sports-theme cakes sure to please any fan.

  • If you plan to celebrate by taking the party to a sporting event, make sure guests RSVP before you purchase tickets. To streamline your budget, ask ballclubs about group rates and special promotions.
  • If you need extra seating at home for the party, ask guests to bring lawn chairs. These are perfect for socializing after backyard volleyball or baseball, and you can use them indoors to watch a big game.
