Whether you are planning a party for little ones, teens or adults, we have all the golf party ideas to make your event a hole in one!
Golf Themed Invitations
Sending great invitations by mail can make your guests feel special before the party even starts. You can either make your own golf theme party invitations or send pre-made cards. Here are some ideas for both options:
GOLF COURSE INVITES - Make invitations out of green cardstock to look like a putting green. Decorate with golf stickers to look like the hole, flag, and ball. Put all the party details on the back.
SCORECARD INVITES - Pick-up some scorecards from your local golf course. Use golf terminology like "Tee Time" (for the time of the party), "Course" (address of party), "Course Length" (end of party time), "Water Hazards" (if there is an opportunity for swimming), and "Event Sponsor" (for RSVP details) to announce your party.
Here are a few golf party ideas for your invitation wording:
"Just Fore Fun"
"Happy Birdie to You"
"You're Invited to a Tee-rific Par-Tee"
