Last weekend, we had the opportunity to attend the most fun wedding reception I have ever been to. The couple share a love of baseball and so the wedding reception was baseball themed and included a softball game at the end of the reception. The reception was laid back, relaxed, and really just so much fun.
I took a few photos and thought it would be fun to share. Even if a baseball themed wedding isn’t for you, there are definitely ideas that would be great for a sports or baseball birthday party.
The one thing I didn’t get a photo of is the bridal party. The bride and groom were dressed up, but everyone else was wearing t-shirts that said either Team Ortiz(Bride) or Team Huber(Groom). The wedding invitations made it clear that the bride and groom would each be leading a team in a softball game at the end of the wedding reception. When we arrived, the bridal party was out taking photos on the pitchers mound at the baseball field. I can’t wait to see their photos.
This banner greeted guests as they arrived. I love the paper lanterns. You can find the baseball paper lanterns at Party City.
Below the banner was a cute bench for presents. I love the old lantern they had for cards.
Each table had a candy centerpiece with Baseball gumballs, cherry candies, monogram lollipops, and baseball lollipops. The baseball gumballs are hard to see, but they are really cute.
Some baseball chocolates would be really cute too. They wouldn’t be so great outdoors, in Arizona, but indoors would work great.
The guestbook might have been one of my favorite details. They had engraved baseball bats with their name and wedding date. The table had tons of sharpies for people to sign the bats. I love guestbooks that you can display in your home and always look at.
The baseball theme continued with the desserts and wedding cake. The baseball cake pops were a big hit, especially with the kids.
What a fun wedding cake. I love the personalized baseball and the stitching that goes all the way around the cake. That heart in the lower right is especially cute.
What is the most unique themed wedding you have ever been to? This was my first that had a really fun, creative theme, and I loved it! Congrats to the bride and groom!
