Lincoln's Baseball Party!

This past Saturday, we were blessed with a beautiful, sunny  and warm day as family and friends came to celebrate (our baby) Lincoln's 6th birthday!

The kids (and some parents) enjoyed a game of baseball, ate lunch and cake together, dove for piƱata candy and just enjoyed being outdoors...  


I wanted a vintage baseball feel for the party and used mostly red, white and blue. 

This free pallet - as found (red!) - made an easy backdrop. The tin number six and baseball card sign were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I made the little pennant banner out of ticking material and twine.


This "Concessions" banner is a free printable and can be found here. (Thank you Liz!)


In keeping with the baseball theme, we served hot dogs, potato chips, watermelon and veggies. We don't typically drink a lot of soda. So, as you can see, Lincoln and his buddy weren't wasting any time downing their orange-flavored Fantas! ;)


The vintage-inspired "Ice Cream Soda" sign I had bought last year from Pottery Barn...


Balloons and a Babe Ruth cardboard cutout (that I found at an antique shop) were in front of our driveway so that guests could find the party more easily...




The kids table...


In case you missed it, I wrote about the pallet flag, chalkboard score board and our DIY baseball field here.



Our birthday boy's nickname is "Cubby" - - 
the reason he is wearing a Chicago Cubs uniform! :)


Play ball!





For favors, the kiddos took home a base set (Dollar Tree), bat and ball (Dollar Tree), Cracker Jacks (Dollar Tree) and Big League Chew (Amazon).



It was a happy day, celebrating our little boy who brings our family so much joy...

Thank you for stopping by!

~ Pallet Flag and DIY Baseball Field ~

We are busy bees over here, getting ready for our youngest son's 6th birthday celebration. He requested a baseball party and has been counting down the days!

My sister made us the coolest pallet flag to add to our field - - 'cause every baseball field needs a flag! It will also be fun to use for the Fourth of July...


Using a large piece of wood I found in the barn, I made this chalkboard score board, by simply rolling on chalkboard paint.



My husband and our oldest son painted the baselines. 


They used this prodcut...


We moved our fire pit benches over to the sidelines for the dugouts. ;)


We purchased this portable backstop from a sporting goods store and secured it with tent stakes.


Here's a view of the field from our bedroom window...


We're looking forward to filling the field with little baseball players. 

If you build it, they will come! :)

I'll share more baseball party pictures soon...

Hope you have a wonderful day!
