Whether you\u2019re a die hard <\/span>pickleball player<\/span> or have recently fallen in love with the game, consider a <\/span>pickleball theme<\/span> for your next bash. From <\/span>bachelorette parties<\/span> to <\/span>birthday <\/span>celebrations, you can roll the theme into almost any gathering you like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Get the party (and games) started with this ultimate <\/span>pickleball party<\/span> guide \u2014 complete with tips for activities, invitations, outfit suggestions, party decorations, and more.<\/span> You\u2019ll want to start by deciding what your party will look like. Will this be a learn-to-play event? Are you renting courts where multiple games can be played at once, or are you hosting at home? Here are some ideas for on-court and off-court activities to spark inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Cat Caudillo | Let\u2019s Pickle Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n There are many ways to keep guests entertained on the court from a standard <\/span>pickleball tournament<\/span> to skills lessons. Here are a few to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Signature Greenvelope | Pickleball Era Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n Chances are not everyone at the party will want to play pickleball the whole time. Some attendees might just be there to cheer on their friends, indulge in some <\/span>dinks<\/span> (whoops, drinks!), and socialize. As a best practice, consider some off-court activities to keep the fun going away from the nets.<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Holly Whitcomb | Handpainted Pickleballs Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n When hosting a party, sending out invitations is an essential step to ensuring everyone\u2019s on the same page and knows the key details. But it\u2019s also a visual way of grabbing their attention and getting them excited about adding your party to their calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n For a design that matches the pickleball vibe:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you send <\/span>online invitations<\/a><\/strong>, you can customize a <\/span>pickleball party invitation template<\/a><\/strong> or create your own design.<\/span><\/p>\n Design: Owl and Toad | Out of the Kitchen Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n Even if you choose an invitation template, you can customize the text and the details you include. Here are some wording suggestions to help you set the stage (or court) for your event:<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to grabbing their attention, make sure to include if attendees should bring their own pickleball equipment and dress code details. If there are invitees who aren\u2019t familiar with the game, add a note to assure them they don\u2019t need to be a pro to attend or participate \u2014 e.g., \u201cNew to pickleball? No problem! All <\/span>skill levels<\/span> are welcome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n If your guests are pickleball rookies, they may not know what to wear. Suggest they come in sporty attire, such as moisture-wicking tops and shorts or tennis skirts. You might also want to recommend they bring sun visors or sports caps to keep the sun of their eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But you might also want to add a fun spin to the party dress code. Add the details to your invite if you want guests to bring along certain accessories or wear specific colors. Here are some creative dress code ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n Add to the excitement of the day by giving a prize to the best dressed <\/span>pickleball player<\/span> or the most creative pickleball-themed outfit. If you think the group needs a nudge to dress the part, tease the award as extra incentive on the invitation.<\/span><\/p>\n Decorating for a party brings it up to the next level. Depending on where you\u2019re hosting the gathering, there might be limitations. For example, if you\u2019ve rented local courts and the game plan is to go to dinner or a bar following a tournament, there may not be opportunities for decking out the venue. However, if you\u2019ve set up a <\/span>DIY<\/span> court in your backyard, you can go all out with <\/span>pickleball party supplies<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here are a few suggestions to get you in the party decorations mindset:<\/span><\/p>\n
