Baseball Birthday Party Invitations

I made these baseball invitations for our son's 6th birthday party - baseball themed.  I also used the same concept to make Thank you cards reading "Thank you for coming to my birthday party.  You helped make my day a hit!" that I attached to a baseball waterbottle and a box of cracker jacks for each party-goer.  That was instead of little treat bags.  I completely forgot to take a picture of the finished product though.  Maybe I'll make one more and take a quick picture tonight :)  I got the template and idea from this gal though:  http://blog.capscreations.com/2010/04/baseball-party.html  Turned out cute I think!  I made baseball cupcakes (see previous post) and we had stadium food for lunch: hot dogs, tortilla chips and cheese dip, apples and carmel dip, and powerade to drink. 

Backyard Baseball Diamond

We mowed a baseball diamond in our back yard and played a little ball as part of the baseball-themed birthday party, too.  Use an L-shaped ruler and a chalk line or string or rope to measure equal distance between bases, mark your bases, bump the mower down a couple settings, line up your mower between bases and mow your baseline.  Remove base markers and mow over it again for a clean, square look. Play ball!
