Explore all our <\/span>favorite sneaker ball party ideas<\/span> \u2014 from what to wear to how to spend the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cSneaker ball\u201d<\/span> itself can be considered a theme, but you can also add a more distinct theme to make the event feel even more special. Look for a <\/span>sneaker ball theme<\/span> that matches your style or personality and that creates the right <\/span>vibe<\/span> for your event.<\/span><\/p>\n You could go for an all-white theme<\/span> gala theme<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and ask everyone to wear <\/span>white sneakers<\/span>, or host a rainbow themed event where people are encouraged to dress as brightly as they can. Style the event around your <\/span>favorite sneaker<\/span> brand, or ask people to come in the kind of sneakers they loved when they were kids. Choose an invite to match too, like this<\/span> disco ball invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s for a <\/span>birthday party<\/span> or a corporate event, the right venue can play a role in how your <\/span>sneaker ball event<\/span> is received. Look for a venue that feels ultra luxe or stylish for that elegant feel, or a place that\u2019s super casual so the <\/span>formal attire<\/span> feels unexpected.<\/span><\/p>\n As you\u2019re viewing venues, be sure to ask whether sneakers are allowed. Some luxury hotels or venues with delicate flooring may restrict the type of footwear you can wear to protect the material underneath.<\/span><\/p>\n A gala or ball is a great way for businesses and nonprofits to raise money for a good cause, and this is an element you can bring to your <\/span>sneaker ball<\/span> too. Gather your fellow <\/span>sneakerheads<\/span> to raise funds for a charity or nonprofit, or towards a community project that\u2019s close to your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n You can even raise money without it being the center of your event, too. For a <\/span>birthday party<\/span>, include a link where people can make a donation toward a charity of your choice, instead of bringing along a birthday gift.<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n One of the best ways to get people excited about your event is with your invitations \u2014 so create and send invites that create the right party atmosphere. We have an extensive range of<\/span> online invitations<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for any occasion, including a <\/span>sneaker ball<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Choose one of our elegant ball invitations, or something that mentions sneakers or dancing \u2014 like this<\/span> illustrated sneaker invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Play around with the layout, fonts, colors, and wording until you have an invite that perfectly matches your celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n Not everyone\u2019s heard of a <\/span>sneaker ball<\/span> before, so this is the perfect time to introduce the concept and explain what your dress code is. Some <\/span>sneaker ball<\/span> parties are <\/span>black tie<\/span>, while others simply ask for <\/span>formal attire<\/span> or <\/span>party outfits<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
