All-Star Stadium Bar/Bat Mitzvah

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah Theme

This theme is perfect for a child you loves baseball.  It can be tweaked a bit though and used for any sport played in a stadium!

Invitations

Use a baseball theme invitation for the party, inserted with the formal Bar/Bat Mitzvah invitation. 

Or use a great personalized ticket invitation to invite your guests!

Welcome Area

At the first point of entry, have a sign saying:

You've reached 1st Base ..
you're at (Child's Name)'s Bar/Bat Mitzvah

At the next door into the party room, display a sign saying …

(Child's Name) welcomes all
Baseball Bar/Bat Mitzvah ALL-STARS:
Kids to the left (with arrow)
Adults to the right (with arrow)

On the way from the initial point of entry to the party room, have cut-outs of baseball players holding stadium "boxes" filled with peanuts, popcorn boxes, crackerjacks and a speech bubble that says BEER HERE (but the cups will be filled with ginger ale...a little chuckle on the kids).

Sign-in Area

Use a baseball theme sign in board or a baseball theme sign in book for a wonderful memento! 

Have a bouquet of balloons at this area to draw people over!

Seating Cards

Use a baseball theme seating card showing the name of the table where the guest is sitting, the guest's name and table number, and attach a baseball yo-yo.

Seating Card Sign

Place on the tabletop where seating cards are. Have this sign say:

You're at 3rd base
now's a good time to find your seat!

Have baseball balloons decorating this area.

The Party Room

If there is a large wall in the party room, use a Baseball Wall Mural! You'll love it!

Each adult table would be the name of a different stadium:

• Candlestick Park Coors Field Wrigley Field
• Camden Yards Busch Stadium Ball Park in Arlington
• Bank One Ballpark Yankee Stadium Three Rivers Stadium
• Tiger Stadium Kingdome Comiskey Park
• Ebbets Field Forbes Field Jacobs Field
• The kids' area would be the DUGOUT!

Cocktail Napkins:

Have them printed to say:

Wipe your mouth before you pitch at
(Child's Name)'s Bar/Bat Mitzvah (include the date).

The first drink can be served in a plastic baseball canteen complete with straw

Bar/Buffet Area: Decorate with baseballs/peanuts/popcorn/crackerjacks

Tables:

• Use white cloths (to the floor). Alternate tables with red and blue toppers.
• Have blue napkins on red tables; red napkins on blue. For adults: tie off the napkin with baseball whistles For kids: tie off the napkin with baseball telescopes
• Centerpieces/Adults: A foam core stadium with the name of the table and the table number, with balloons coming out
• Centerpieces/Kids: A baseball gumball machine (filled with chocolate baseballs) with red/white/blue and mylar baseball balloons attached

Personalized Cameras: Personalized Bar and Bat Mitzvah cameras on each table for your guests to use for pictures!

DJ/Band Backdrop:

Have a lit 3x8' sign made saying:

YOU'RE AT "HOME" AT (CHILD'S NAME)'S BAR/BAT MITZVAH

Have a graphic of a home plate coming off the sign and, of course, be sure to have (Child's Last Name) Stadium printed on this graphic.

Other options: votive candles that look like baseballs, baseball confetti erasers thrown around the base, candy (foil-wrapped milk chocolate baseballs)

Candlelighting

Have a diagram of the playing field with thirteen positions. Those being honored will put a "bat" representing them on the field (attached with velcro).

Print up a ballpark-style "program" but with the Bar/Bat Mitzvah on the cover listing items about him and the special people helping him celebrate.

Party Favors

Have a handful of Home Run Derby Packs on hand for the DJ to pass out.

A plastic baseball helmet filled with chocolate baseballs, wrapped in a cello bag and tied off with red, white, and blue ribbon. Or try a custom candy bar wrapper.

Have fun, from the Party Girl and the Party-ettes!
