I think birthday inspiration for men may be one of the least represented genres in the party blogosphere. Fortunately, I found one you can add to your ideas file if you happen to have a baseball lover. Thanks to Amorology, who created this classy baseball themed wedding that is perfect for a gentleman's birthday celebration.
Create anticipation with "ticket" invitations, and decorate your party space with penants, baseballs, and peanuts! Have bats and balls available for guests to write on{well-wishes to the birthday guy}. Display treats in a vendor-style box/tray, and design a couple of coordinating centerpieces using baseballs.
I so love the idea of the "hey, batter, batter" favor box filled with pancake batter! These ideas would also work well for Father's Day, coming up soon!

my husband is a HUGE baseball fan & would absolutely LOVE this!
I love how classy but fun this is!!!
I love how out-of-the-box this is! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing! I love all the details in this one! I will be stocking this one away for sure!
This is fabulous! Too perfect!
Adorable. This would be a great party for our nephew who loves and plays baseball. This I will have to file away for future use!!
SO many fabulous details here. I'm in love. Wish my husband liked baseball!
Loved the idea for "guys" but I think the most under represented group in party planning is "TEENS"! I would love to see some ideas for teens and even something as simple as a party favor for a coed teen lunch is hard to come up with unless it is food (ie cookie, brownie, candy). And the pressure is really on when you are throwing something for teens - it has to be "cool" and fun but of course, you can't have a signature cocktail or anything......
Anonymous, you are so right! I stand corrected. They want to be cool, and they want to feel grown up, too! Definately try to keep a level of sophistication with teen parties.
Favors are a whole other deal. They love friends, music, movies, and "style," which can get pretty pricey if your providing for many. I'm one of those who always loves a good "sweet treat" as a favor. Other options are gift certificates to iTunes, theaters, or restaurants.
Wow! LOVE this idea. So well-executed. Awesome!
Chris,
I agree that themed celebrations for guys are difficult. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Love the juxtaposition of sporty and classy at the same time. I would love to share this on my site! Thanks for sharing with us.
Who knew baseball was so elegant?? The "hey batter batter" favors are genius.
I love this and can't believe I didn't see it before I did my sports party! I used moss (from the dollar store) but it didn'g turn out as good as yours. I also wish I'd have seen the snack guy!
