1 – Send out printable invitations with a bowling pin and ball motif that we saw via Jolly Mom.

2 – Present a bowling themed birthday cake! This whimsical cake by Cake Believe was made of chocolate buttercream, which was made to mimic the look of a wooden bowling alley lane.

3 – Make a fast centerpiece using cheese balls as gutter balls and a black paper bowl to hold everything up, including the table signage. See this party idea via hollydays.

4 – For your entryway, consider displaying bowling pins made from foam board cutouts, which can be bought from the Dollar Store. Attach red scrapbook paper to create the pins’ design and keep them standing upright by taping them to tin cans. What a clever idea via Invite and Delight!

5 – When you’re too busy to make your own party food, ordering a packaged meal not only saves time, but also gives you enough energy left over to host the party. This bowling themed buffet table consisting of pizza, pretzels, Caesar salad, and bruschetta is a perfect example that we saw on the blog of Talk of the House.

2 – Add a festive banner to your celebration with a printable one from the blog of Chikabug! The banner was made by cutting out triangles, and stringing them together through punched holes located at the top corners of each triangle. Then, ribbons were added as decorative accents.
