Baseball Party Invitations
For your baseball themed birthday party invitations, buy some solid red and blue ones, and then print out some baseballs, bats, and caps on some nice picture paper, and decorate the invitation covers with that. Try using blue pens on the red invitations when you fill them out, and red pens on the blue ones to give them a nice finishing touch.

Baseball Party Decorations
Decorate the party area with blue, red, and white streamers and balloons. If you know how to make a balloon arch way, do it. It will impress your guests, as well as look wonderful. You should also make some birthday banners to place around the party venue. Try using butcher paper and some acrylic paints. You can purchase the materials for the banners for a low price at Wal-Mart in their arts and crafts section.

Baseball Party Games
If you are at a loss of what kind of games to play at your baseball themed birthday party, consider having a small baseball game in your backyard or at a field near your house. This will surely provide enjoyment to all of your guests. You can also have contests on WII game consoles with the baseball game that comes with it; kids will love that, it's safe, and it can be done indoors. Besides this, consider having potato-sack races, relay challenges.

Baseball Candy Bags
Party bags for baseball themed birthday parties are almost always available at Party City. If a Party City is not near you though, or if you can't afford to buy the candy bags offered there, consider getting blue and red solid candy bags to give out. The children are always more interested in the candy anyways.

Other Tips & Ideas
Plates, napkins, plastic forks, spoons, and knives can all be purchased at Wal-Mart in solid colors to save money. Or you can opt to buy the baseball themed ones that are available at Party City.

As party favors you could give out baseball hats, baseball key chains, baseball cards, and other such things. Consider making table centerpieces for your guests. Get a party cup, fill it with goodies, then attach some balloons to it, and there you have it.

A wonderful birthday cake for a baseball themed birthday party would be in the shape of a baseball and have a baseball bat across it as well. You can also have a plain white cake with some small plastic baseballs on top of it, to make it more decorative. Ask your bakery what they can offer you.

If you do not want to get a birthday cake, and instead would prefer cupcakes, have the bakery make you some cupcakes with the top designed like a baseball. This is something that they should know how to do, and it shouldn't cost you too much. Make sure to get some ice cream to go with the cupcakes.
