How to Create Mini Golf Birthday Party Details

Drew decided on an indoor mini golf party this year.  Every year of his life we have had a sports themed party…baseball, bowling, soccer, swimming, and now mini golf.  I think you can see a theme here, but it is what he loves! Because the party was at a venue, there really wasn’t a lot for me to do, but I like to do a few homemade things for every party. Here is how to create mini golf birthday party details.

Invitations:

These homemade invitations were super simple to make.  I bought the blank invitation cards at Hobby Lobby ($3 after using 40% off coupon). They look golf-ish, right?! After printing out the party details on card stock, I cut them with fun shears, and stuck them to the invitation with a glue stick (I was having printer issues with just printing them on the original invite). 

I found some golf ball stickers (also at Hobby Lobby for 50% off) to embellish the invitations more. The golf tees were purchased at Target for a few bucks.  Simply tape the golf tee to the invitation and put the sticker above.  I liked that it was 3-D and there were no issues with fitting them in the envelopes and mailing them.

Homemade Golf Cupcakes:

I usually always make my own cupcakes because I like homemade things! The cupcakes were boxed, but I made the frosting myself.  My sister always makes her cupcakes large (to make them look more gourmet) and they really do look so much better. Drew chose chocolate cupcakes because he thought the chocolate would look like dirt.  He knew I was going to make green frosting and make it look like grass.  I also decided to add some flags to the cupcakes to make them festive and go with the theme.  Hole “5”, of course, for the 5th birthday!  These are made out of scrapbook paper and a cake pop stick.  Super simple.  We frosted the cupcake and used a fork to “poke up” the frosting to look like grass. 

Party Favors for a Mini Golf Birthday Party:

We decided to give each of the kids a cupcake to take home (not super fun, but super practical).  I used a Pinterest tip and placed the cupcake inside a 9 oz. plastic cup for easy transport.  Instead of the golf flag, I added a plastic golf ball on top of the “grass”, wrapped the whole thing up in a cellophane bag, tied the top with green gingham ribbon, and included two golf tees.

This all made for one very happy 5 year old! I love how little kids are easy to please!

It’s so nice and more relaxing to take the party to a venue instead of our home! Ha! I still like to add some homemade touches though! These Mini Golf Birthday Party details are easy to incorporate into your next party! xo
