Tips On How To Host a Bowling Party For Kids

Are you in search of a birthday party idea that will also add fun to your kid's day? Why not plan a bowling party? Here are some tips on how to host a bowling party for kids.

Get A Location

The first thing you have to do is book a bowling alley on time, so you don't get disappointed. It is also possible to book the lanes for your team. Usually, four bowlers can use one lane. Although some bowling alleys give users the chance of using more than four bowlers, this could have some adverse effects as kids may become restless when waiting for a long time before playing again.

You can also get cakes, snacks, and drinks, but you have to seek permission before bringing them. Some bowling centers provide some packages like foods, so you can ask them about their group rates to get a more affordable deal.

Invitation 

Your bowling party invitation should carry the bowling party theme you desire. You can buy party invitations from physical or online shops or get a customized copy. To get better satisfaction from your child, you can get an idea of what your child wants by making it personal and asking your child to make a sketch related to bowling.

Party Decorations

Decorating a bowling party is another essential factor to consider while planning your kids bowling party. You can choose from a 1950s feel or just the regular retro. You can also decide to go with a black, pink, or turquoise color scheme. 

Here are some ideas you can use to lighten your birthday decorations to give it the best bowling alley party space.

• Use dangling shirts, bowling shoes, and balls cut from paper as a garland around the bowling alley.

• Use an alternation of a red and white balloon to make a bowling pin.

• Make black balloons and draw holes on them to look like bowling balls.

• You can also suggest clients wear bowling party shirts. Alternatively, you can make provisions for props like scarves (cat-eye designs), sweaters, etc., that are available in thrift stores.

Party Favors

While preparing for bowling party favors, you can purchase flashlights, water bottles, bowling pins( inflated), bowling shirts, keychains, gift cards for access to free games, etc.

Also, provide kids with a photo of the various guests while bowling. You can also give the kids the printed picture frames or mail them to the child alongside a thank you card.

Bowling Activities Plan

Another way to get an active and fun-filled bowling party is by setting an activity plan. A bowling party usually starts with some hours - maybe one or two hours - of bowling followed by snack eating, singing of birthday songs, opening of presents, eating cakes, exchanging favors and goodbyes.

You can decide to add some other events, depending on what you want. You can ask your kids to have a mini-contest while bowling.

Foods And Cakes

Some bowling alleys may request that you order food by them when serving snacks, lunch, or dinner. They offer meals like hamburgers, pizza, french fries, and sometimes food. But you may be required to come with your cupcake or cakes. For cakes, you can have a frosted cake decorated with bowling pin candies. While for cupcakes, you can decorate them using bowling images.

Conclusion 

Hosting a bowling party for kids can be a bit challenging. But, with these tips, your kid's party will be a breeze. You can also add some of your creativity to make the party more fun and watch as your kids and guests enjoy bowling.
