Lakers Party Theme: Party Decorations to Sweet Treats

No way anyone is going to mistake this theme for something else! Check out our fun finds for Lakers-themed party decor, desserts and goodies, and guest favors.

Send out the game day notice via a cool Basketball Ticket Birthday Invite (1) in the team colors. Then, come party time, thrill the Lakers fan-guests with a basketball birthday cake (2) and an entire dessert buffet (3) displaying purple and yellow goodies and treats! Great choices to include would be Hershey’s Kisses in purple foil wrapping (7) and home-baked or store-bought Lakers and basketball cupcakes (8).

On the party tables, dress up cylinder vases in basketball details for the centerpieces (4). For wall decor, posters of Lakers superstars (5) past and present would be just the thing (and such a breeze to display, too!); while overhead, you could string glittery party garlands (6) in purple and gold for a truly festive effect.
