Bowling Birthday Party Ideas...Play a Bowling Game

Now if you decide to hold the birthday party at your home...your going to have to "strike up some fun" with a bowling game. You can make your own...it's easy. Save your 16 ounce plastic soda bottles because they are going to be the pins. Any medium size ball will work as your ball. For the alley use a smooth sidewalk, driveway or flat piece of land. Set your pins up in a triangle (you will need 10) and roll that ball to check the lane action! How do you make the pins? Fill each bottle with some water or sand and put the cap on it. Make sure to try the game yourself after filling the soda bottles. You want to make sure the kids will be able to knock down the pins.

Bowling Party Invitations

Bowling Birthday party ideas need some cute party invitations. Just cut out bowling shapes, like a ball or a pin, out of construction paper. Write something cute about the party theme on each one..."Bowling parties are lots of fun, that's why Billy is having one." Your invited to come down in your spare time to Strike up some fun! Who, what, why, when, where, RSVP is the information you will need on the invitation. Print all the necessary information on each pin cut out including an RSVP telephone number. It will help you to count the number of guests who will be attending. Why is this important? So you can make sure to have enough goodie bags and you will know how much food to prepare for your party.

There are cups, napkins, pinatas...lots of different ideas for you.
