One of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was playing baseball with the neighborhood kids. We'd all end up meeting in the field that was near our house and start playing a friendly game of baseball. It didn't matter that we didn't have enough players to make two complete teams. We played ball with whoever showed up. I would have loved having such an activity for a birthday party. I'm sure other kids would love it too. Any number of players will do; it's all for fun.
To get you started, I have designed simple baseball invitations on postcards that you can customize online. You can also delete any text that you want to write in by hand.
It's a good idea to send the invitations out two weeks before the party date.
Fresh veggies sticks will be a good idea to have as an appetizer before the game playing begins. It's quick and simple and adds some healthy snacks for game time energy.
For after the game, you can serve cupcakes or cookies; they are both easy for the kids to grab, and can be easily decorated to look like baseballs! Another great snack for after a game of baseball is watermelon.
If you want paper plates for the snacks, these can also fit your party theme. The paper plates come in a choice of two sizes, 7" and 9", and a choice of square or round. The background color on any of these items can be customized with a color of your selection. I chose blue to represent the sky, and green on some items to represent grass.

Happy birthday game day!
This invitation includes a baseball, the glove, and a bat in its design.
