How to Throw a Fabulous Bowling Party

If you are throwing a bowling party for your school-aged baby, you have made the right choice. This kind of party is always a surefire hit with the children because it is a fun activity that they can do with their friends. It tickles their competitive spirits while fostering camaraderie. The parents will also love you because you keep their kids’ eyes away from their gadgets.

A friendly game of bowling is an excellent way to celebrate your child’s natal day because you don’t need to spend much on prizes, props, and games. Everything is there in the bowling alley, even the food. All you need to do is place your order in advance, and you are good to go. When the party is done, you do not need to worry about cleaning up any messes. Here are some tips and tricks to throw a fun and memorable party in your favorite bowling alley.

Secure the Venue

When it comes to party planning, the first thing you have to do is secure the venue. Book the bowling alley ahead of time to ensure that you will have several lanes for your group, including the party hall. The best number is 4 to 6 kids for every lane, so the kids don’t get bored waiting too long for their turn. Ask about group rates for more discounts.

Pick the Food

Check with the location if they have bowling party packages with food combos so you can avail of great deals. Most bowling halls will require you to order food from their kitchen so you can get the usual pizza, burger, and fries. Some bowling alleys will permit bowling-themed treats like cupcakes with bowling toppers, bowling shaped sugar cookies, and, of course, the cake.

Plan a Unique Invite

Set the tone of your birthday shindig with the bowling themed invitations. You can buy them in the store or order them online. You can even DIY by looking for templates. A great idea is to craft an invitation shaped out of a bowling ball or pin. If you want to make things more personal and related to the celebrant, ask your kid to draw a bowling related image and digitize it. You can use this to print invitations to your bowling party.

Work on the Decors

Most bowling halls will allow you to bring big decorations. The only decor they shy away from because it is hard to clean is confetti. Brainstorm a theme with your child and then stick to it. You can match it with your invitations for unity. For best results, stick to two primary colors that your child loves. Bring party garlands and balloons in the same color. You can kick things up a notch by asking them to wear shirts following your theme colors. This will look great in pictures. Don’t forget to bring a tiara for a girl and a king’s crown for the boy celebrant to make them stand out.

Order the Favors

A party is never complete without favors and loot bags. Kids actually look forward to this. If you want to give a functional give away, buy a clear water bottle with a big opening and fill those with treats. Turn this bottle into your unique loot bag. Fill it up with candy and bowling themed trinkets like bowling pin key chains or post-its. If you don’t want to give sweets, everyone will appreciate a gift card for a free family game.

List of Activities

Apart from the bowling game itself, you can do other activities in the bowling party room. You can spend the first hour on bowling. Later on, you can feed them a snack, blow the =cake, and set aside time for opening presents. If there is ample time, you can crack open a pinata or do mini-contests.

Even if you are hosting a party in a bowling alley, this doesn’t mean the venue should limit you. You can still let your creativity shine through, especially so you can accommodate the wishes of the celebrant. Once you have planned everything, you can watch your kid have fun with friends as they bowl their way to an awesome good time.
